Steven Threadgold's study represents the first comprehensive
engagement of Pierre Bourdieu's influential sociology with affect
theory. With empirical research and examples from sociology, it
develops a theory of "Affective Affinities," deepening our
understanding of how everyday moments contribute to the
construction and remaking of social class and aspects of
inequalities. It identifies new ways to consider the strengths and
weaknesses of Bourdieusian principles and their interaction with
new developments in social theory. This is a stimulating read for
students, researchers and academics across studies in youth,
education, labour markets, pop culture, media, consumption and
taste.
This is Sociology is an engaging, concise introduction to the key
concepts used for studying social life. It covers a diverse range
of theorists from the rich history of sociology and shows how

groups we are part of, and the rapid social changes and
inequalities that shape contemporary societies. Key features: Uses

perspectives from across the world, including theorists that have
often been omitted from the established sociological canon. Covers
topics such as globalization, culture, gender, race, and class.

inclusive global sociology, one that moves beyond a Eurocentric
perspective and is equipped for the challenges of the 21st Century.

discussion questions.
