What People Leave Behind - Marks, Traces, Footprints and their Relevance to Knowledge Society (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022):... What People Leave Behind - Marks, Traces, Footprints and their Relevance to Knowledge Society (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Francesca Comunello, Fabrizio Martire, Lorenzo Sabetta
R1,681 Discovery Miles 16 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This open access book focuses on a particular but significant topic in the social sciences: the concepts of "footprint" and "trace". It associates these concepts with hotly debated topics such as surveillance capitalism and knowledge society. The editors and authors discuss the concept footprints and traces as unintended by-products of other (differently focused and oriented) actions that remain empirically imprinted in virtual and real spaces. The volume therefore opens new scenarios for social theory and applied social research in asking what the stakes, risks and potential of this approach are. It systematically raises and addresses these questions within a consistent framework, bringing together a heterogeneous group of international social scientists. Given the multifaceted objectives involved in exploring footprints and traces, the volume discusses heuristic aspects and ethical dimensions, scientific analyses and political considerations, empirical perspectives and theoretical foundations. At the same time, it brings together perspectives from cultural analysis and social theory, communication and Internet studies, big-data informed research and computational social science. This innovative volume is of interest to a broad interdisciplinary readership: sociologists, communication researchers, Internet scholars, anthropologists, cognitive and behavioral scientists, historians, and epistemologists, among others.

Against the Background of Social Reality - Defaults, Commonplaces, and the Sociology of the Unmarked: Carmelo Lombardo, Lorenzo... Against the Background of Social Reality - Defaults, Commonplaces, and the Sociology of the Unmarked
Carmelo Lombardo, Lorenzo Sabetta
R4,469 Discovery Miles 44 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The first wide-ranging, organic analysis of the sociology of unmarkedness and taken-for-grantedness, this volume investigates the asymmetry between how we attend to the culturally emphasized features of social reality and ignore the culturally unmarked ones. Concerned with the structures of cultural invisibility, unconscious rules of irrelevance, automatic frames of meaning, and collective attention patterns, it brings together scholarship spanning sociology, anthropology, and social psychology, to cover various aspects of humdrum, unglamorous, nondescript, nothing-to-write-at-home-about social phenomena, developing the key assumptions, underpinnings, and implications of this field of study. As comprehensive analysis of unremarked features of our social existence, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in social theory and the sociology of everyday life.
