Caught up in current social changes, we do not fully understand the
reshaping of social life. In sociological analyses there is a
conceptual gap between subjectivities and social structural
processes, and we face real difficulties in understanding social
change and diversity. Through analysis of key areas of social life,
here, Sarah Irwin develops a new and exciting resource for better
understanding our changing social world. Breaking with conventional
approaches and reconnecting the subjective with the objective,
Irwin's book develops a new conceptual and analytical perspective
with social relationality, interdependence and social context at
its heart. The new perspective is developed through grounded
analyses of empirical evidence, and draws on new data. It explores
and analyzes: * significant changes in family forms, fertility,
gender relations and commitments to employment, children and care,
both now, and with comparisons to early twentieth century
developments * the meshing of norms and social relations in
contexts of change * diverse values, norms and perceptions of
fairness, analyzed with respect to diversity over the life course,
and in respect of gender, ethnicity and social class. Through
analysis of context, Irwin offers new insights, and tackles puzzles
of explanation. Reshaping Social Life offers a fascinating and
innovative way of slicing into and re-interrogating our changing
social world, and is sure to become a landmark resource for
students, scholars and researchers.
