This Palgrave Handbook showcases how the phenomenological approach,
especially but not only as developed by Alfred Schutz, can make
important contributions to the theoretical analysis of macro-social
phenomena such as the state, history, culture and interculturality,
class relations and struggles, social movements and protests,
capitalism, democracy, and digitalization processes. It gathers
systematically and intellectual-historically oriented chapters that
deal with these macro social phenomena from a phenomenological
perspective. This handbook is mainly intended for a threefold
audience: sociologists and social scientists at large – both
theoretically and empirically oriented –, phenomenological
sociologists, and phenomenological philosophers. This book includes
chapters by international renowned specialists in social theory,
phenomenological sociology, and phenomenology: Hartmut Rosa
(University of Jena), Michael Barber (St. Louis University), Thomas
Eberle (University of St. Gallen), Roberto Walton (Universidad de
Buenos Aires), Jochen Dreher (University of Konstanz), Chung-Chi YU
(National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan), and George Bondor
(AI.I. Cuza University of Iasi, Romania), among others.
A Treatise in Phenomenological Sociology: Object, Method, Findings,
and Applications provides the first systematic approach to
phenomenological sociology. Carlos Belvedere claims that
phenomenological sociology is a distinctive paradigm endowed with
its peculiar object, method, and stock of knowledge. He defines
phenomenological sociology as a science dealing with the natural
attitude of groups. When it comes to its method, he describes the
actual, centenary use of the epoche, the eidetic variation, and
constitutional analysis in the practice of classical and
contemporary social thinkers. Finally, he collects a wealth of
precious findings in the history of phenomenological sociology,
which starts with the ego agens as the substratum of social life,
then goes on to consider intermediate stages such as pragmata,
habitualities, social personalities, and institutions. He argues
that social behavior can take different forms, subjective as well
as objective, because it can experience a wide range of
transformations thanks to specific qualities of pragmata, such as
reiterableness and transferability.
Racism and Discourse in Latin America investigates how public
discourse is involved in the daily reproduction of racism in Latin
America. The essays examine political discourse, mass media
discourse, textbooks and other forms of text, and talk by the white
symbolic elites, looking at the ways these discourses express and
confirm prejudices against indigenous people and against people
from African descent. The essays show that ethnic and racial
inequality in Latin America continue to exacerbate the chasm
between the rich and the poor, despite formal progress in the
rights of minorities during the last decades. Teun A. van Dijk
brings together a multidisciplinary team of linguists and social
scientists from eight Latin American countries (Mexico, Guatemala,
Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru), creating
the first work in English that provides comprehensive insight into
discursive racism across Latin America.
