When History Accelerates: Essays on Rapid Social Change, Complexity and Creativity - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Rapid and complex social change over the short-term is now an area of concern to social scientists. This book focuses upon a number of specific instances of such acceleration in different parts of the world - including Russia, Iran, South Africa and Turkey. It examines some of the theoretical issues involved in the ideas of social change and transformation, and the methods for their study. Hann's previous publications include "Tea and the Domestication of the Turkish State" (1990), "Market Economy and Civil Society in Hungary" (1990) and "Socialism: Ideals, Ideologies and Local Practice" (1993).

Présentation de l'éditeur
Rapid and complex social change is of urgent concern to all human societies, but how can researchers do justice both to the objective complexities of causal relations and to subjective experiences of different types of change? The present volume focuses upon cases of accelerating change including Russia, Iran, South Africa and Turkey and examines some of the theoretical issues involved in conceptualizing social change and transformation and the methods for their study. The fifteen essays in this collection will be of interest to all students of history and the social sciences; and especially to students of social anthropology, sociology and development studies.
