Almost half of the 28 essays in this volume have not been published
in English before, and many of the others are little-known. Some
directly express Elias's dissatisfaction with the historical,
present-centered trend of modern sociology. Others scintillatingly
show how wide-ranging were Elias's own sociological interests.
Topics include, among many others: the work of Theodor Adorno;
sociology and psychiatry; psychosomatic illness; human emotions;
communities in long-term perspective; the changing balance of power
between the sexes; African art; football; and even pigeon racing.
Edited by Richard Kilminster and Stephen Mennell.
