The authors recontextualize contemporary sociological theory to
argue that in recent decades sociology has been deeply permeated by
a new paradigm, conflict constructionism. Their analysis integrates
and sheds new light on eight prominent domains of recent social
thought: the micro-level; discourses, framing, and renewed interest
in signs and language; the construction of difference and
dominance; regulation and punishment; cultural complexity and
transculturation; the body; new approaches to the role of the
state; and a consistent conflict perspective. The paradigm combines
elements of both social construction theory and conflict theory. It
has deep roots in critical theory and more recent links to
postmodernism. It is associated with postmodern social thought,
although it is less radical and more adaptable to empirical inquiry
than postmodernism. The authors tie their new conceptualization of
social theory to contemporary applications of social theory in
everyday life. Features of this text:
