Re-thinking Contemporary Political Behaviour - The Difference that Agency Makes (Paperback): Sadiya Akram Re-thinking Contemporary Political Behaviour - The Difference that Agency Makes (Paperback)
Sadiya Akram
R1,279 Discovery Miles 12 790 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Proposing a novel approach to understanding the contemporary political landscape, Akram draws on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Margaret Archer on agency and argues the need for an in-depth engagement with concepts of agency to improve the reach and scope of political analysis. Is the way that people engage with politics changing? If so, how well-equipped are we to document and explain the extent and range of the ways in which people are engaging in politics today? This book tackles these questions through a blend of theoretical reflection and empirical research, shedding new light on the relationship between arena and process definitions of politics, and how the social relates to the political. Hitherto unexplored features of agency such as the unconscious and the internal political conversation are shown to be critical in exploring how people mobilise today and how they make sense of their political engagement. Two in-depth case studies of the internal political conversations that individuals hold as well as an analysis of the 2011 UK riots are presented. Making a case for the role of self-expression in politics, this book will be of use for graduates and scholars interested in British politics, political theory, social theory, political sociology, the theory and practice of political engagement and political behaviour.

Bourdieu, Habitus and Field - A Critical Realist Approach (1st ed. 2023): Sadiya Akram Bourdieu, Habitus and Field - A Critical Realist Approach (1st ed. 2023)
Sadiya Akram
R3,461 Discovery Miles 34 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

What difference does establishing an ontological framework make to Pierre Bourdieu’s core concepts of habitus and field? This innovative book argues that it makes a substantial difference and, furthermore, that doing so addresses the charges of determinism, tautology, and circularity that have long been directed at habitus and field. Teasing out Bourdieu’s ontology, Akram offers a novel critical realist reading of Bourdieu, arguing that while Bourdieu explored the epistemological basis of his core concepts, he neglects their ontological underpinnings, and that elaborating on this adds a layer of depth and complexity which enriches Bourdieu’s project. In addition to articulating the synergies between Roy Bhaskar’s critical realism and Bourdieu’s oeuvre, this book extends Bourdieu’s insights in new and exciting directions by developing an ontologically informed Bourdieusian account of institutions, an issue which is neglected by Bourdieu and his interlocuters. A dedicated chapter outlining a methodological approach to habitus will also prove useful to those who find theoretical value in the concept but are unclear about its methodological implications.
