Imaginative Methodologies in the Social Sciences develops, expands
and challenges conventional social scientific methodology and
language by way of literary, poetic and other alternative sources
of inspiration, as sociologists, social workers, anthropologists,
criminologists and psychologists all rethink, provoke and reignite
social scientific methodology. Challenging the mainstream orthodoxy
of social scientific methodology, which closely guards the
boundaries between the social sciences and the arts and humanities,
this volume reveals that authors and artists are often engaged in
projects parallel to those of the social sciences and vice versa,
thus demonstrating that artistic and cultural production does not
necessarily constitute a specialist field, but is in fact integral
to social reality. As such, it will be of interest to scholars and
students in the social sciences and across the arts and humanities
working on the philosophy of social science, methodology, social
theory, creativity, poetics, pedagogy and other related topics.
This book traces the relations between the organization of violence
and social and political order from ancient Rome to early modern
Europe. Following the work of Michel Foucault, the author studies
the ways authority, obedience and forms of self-conduct were
produced by the micro-techniques used to govern the bodies of
violence deployed in different forms of warfare.
Traces the relations between the organization of violence and
social and political order from ancient Rome to early modern
Europe. It studies the ways in which authority, obedience and forms
of self-conduct were produced by the micro-techniques used to
govern violence deployed in different forms of warfare. These
issues comprise problematics of military power that are largely
neglected by historical sociology and political history. The author
shows that the constitution of military power and its relation to
wider society has undergone a series of radical, discontinuous and
contested shifts in the course of European history, rather than
following a pattern of progressive abstraction of violence from
society. The text argues that modern presumptions of an ahistorical
dichotomy between military and civil society mat thus distort our
understanding of the past and perhaps also of the future.
