Preeminent sociologist Michel Wieviorka points out that the traditional tools used to analyze social relations have, in large part, become outdated due to the fast evolution of societal problems. While the big themes up for public debate in the past were more social than they were cultural, that is no longer true. Attention has been turned to identity, culture and the wanting of recognition.
Socialization use to signify an individual finding his place and integrating into society; today it has become the process by which the individual develops his capacity to control his own experience.
As social sciences' traditional categories evolve, Wieviorka presents the analytical instruments that will better help us to understand today's world, putting an emphasis on globalization and the growing spread of terrorism. With this work, he hopes to create a rapprochement between research and the dissemination of knowledge.
Michel Wieviorka is president of the International Sociological Association and director of studies at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales. He has previously published with Robert Laffont La tentation antisémite (2005) and Le printemps du politique (2007).
