The notion of 'sociality' is now widely used within the social
sciences and humanities. However, what is meant by the term varies
radically, and the contributors here, through compelling and wide
ranging essays, identify the strengths and weaknesses of current
definitions and their deployment in the social sciences. By
developing their own rigorous and innovative theory of human
sociality, they re-set the framework of the debate and open up new
possibilities for conceptualizing other forms of sociality, such as
that of animals or materials. Cases from Asia, Africa, the Americas
and Europe explore the new directions of human sociality,
illuminating how and why it is transformed when human beings engage
with such major issues as economic downturn, climate change, new
regimes of occupational and psychological therapy, technological
innovations in robotics and the creation of new online, 'virtual'
environments. This book is an invaluable resource, not only for
research and teaching, but for anyone interested in the question of
what makes us social.
