SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED Talcott Parsons (1902–1979) was without question the most eminent American sociological theorist of the 1940s and 1950s. Parsons synthesized the classical theoretical ideas of Weber, Durkheim, and Vilfredo Pareto to develop (with Edward Shils) his “action theory.”. Parsons’s action theory focused on the integration ofsocial structural

Social Forms. In everyday social life, we often focus on the content of our social interactions with others—for example, “what is the right thing way to react to my boss’ outlandish work demands?” or “what the heck was my husband thinking when he said that to me?”But, for Simmel, the task of the sociologist was less about looking at the contents that distinguish types of social SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED From p. 428 in Social Theory Re-Wired 2e. Placing U.S. Black women’s experiences in the center of analysis without privileging those experiences shows how intersectional paradigms can be especially important for rethinking the particular matrix of domination The matrix of domination, according to Collins, refers to how power is organized through overlapping or interlocking systems of SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED Networks of Capital. This section begins with Karl Marx coming to grips with capitalism and the emerging class-based social order. The introductory essay, entitled “Salvaging What Wall Street Left Behind,” invites us to ponder what Marx might have said about the recent global financial crisis and one of its key culprits—creditdefault swaps.
SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED The thinking of the Frankfurt School was heavily shaped by three key historical events: (1) the failure of the working-class revolution that Marx had predicted in Western Europe, (2) the rise of Nazism and (3) the expansion of capitalism into a new, “mass” form of production and consumption, often referred to as “Fordism” afterthe
SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED From p. 184 in Social Theory Re-Wired 2eThe social world is accumulated history, and if it is not to be reduced to a discontinuous series of instantaneous mechanical equilibria between agents who are treated as interchangeable particles, one must reintroduce into it the notion of capital and with it, accumulation and all its effects. SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED The eldest of seven children, Max was a precocious but sickly child, suffering from meningitis at an early age, a disease with long-lasting side effects such as insomnia and anxiety that bothered Weber throughout his life. His father, Max Sr., was a free-wheeling, controlling public servant who would eventually become estranged fromMax.

Power/Knowledge. For Foucault, power and knowledge are not seen as independent entities but are inextricably related—knowledge is always an exercise of power and power always a function of knowledge. Perhaps his most famous example of a practice of power/knowledge is that of the confession, as outlined in History of Sexuality.

ANOMIE | SOCIAL THEORY REWIRED Under a state of anomie, there is not enough moral regulation in a society to counteract the individualism associated with a complex division of labor.
