Nobert Elias (1897-1990) is among the great sociologists of the
twentieth century. Born in Germany, Elias earned a doctorate in
philosophy and then turned to sociology, working with Max Weber's
younger brother, Alfred Weber, and with Karl Mannheim. He later
fled the Nazi regime in 1935 and spent most of his life in Britain.
He is best known for his book, "The Civilizing Process," wherein he
traces the subtle changes in manners among the European upper
classes since the Middle Ages, and shows how those seemingly
innocuous changes in etiquette reflected profound transformations
of power relations in society. He later applied these insights to a
wide range of subjects, from art and culture to the control of
violence, the sociology of sports, the development of knowledge and
the sciences, and the methodology of sociology.
This is Volume 3 in the "Collected Works of Norbert Elias", translated by Edmund Jephcott. Recognised as one of the most important works of sociology in the last century, "On the Process of Civilisation" has been influential and widely discussed across the whole range of the humanities and social sciences. This sumptuous new edition, completely revised with many corrections and clarifications, includes colour plates of all the 13 drawings from "Das Mittelaterliche Hausbuch" to which Elias refers in his famous discussion of 'Scenes from the life of a knight'. Beginning with his celebrated study of the changing standards of behaviour of the secular upper classes in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, Elias demonstrates how 'psychological' changes in habitus and emotion management were linked to wider transformations in power relations, especially the monopolisation of violence and taxation by more increasingly effective state apparatuses.
Fur Johan Goudsblom brachte die Entdeckung des Feuers und seiner Kontrolle in der Vorgeschichte eine radikale Umstellung der menschlichen Kultur. Dieser ersten grundlegenden oekologischen Wende folgten mit dem Ackerbau und der industriellen Revolution weitere Entwicklungsphasen im Umgang mit Feuer und deshalb mit der materiellen Umwelt und der ganzen Gesellschaft. Bis in unsere Tage ist die Kontrolle des Feuers ein integraler Bestandteil der Gesellschaften, die Menschen miteinander bilden. Die erste Auflage erschien 1995 beim Suhrkamp Verlag.
