Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction. Thinking through Sociality: The Importance of Mid-level Concepts -- 1 Disjuncture: The Creativity of, and Breaks in, Everyday Associations and Routines -- 2 Fields: Dynamic Configurations of Practices, Games and Socialities -- 3 Social Space: Distance, Proximity and Thresholds of Affinity -- 4 Sociability: The Art of Form -- 5 Organizations: From Corporations to Ephemeral Associations -- 6 Network: The Possibilities and Mobilizations of Connections -- Epilogue. Sociality and Uncertainty: Between Avowing and Disavowing Concepts in Anthropology -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: As issues and circumstances investigated by anthropologists are becoming ever more diverse, the need to address social affiliation in contemporary situations of mobility, urbanity, transnational connections, individuation, media, and capital flows, has never been greater. Thinking Through Sociality combines a review of classical theories with recent theoretical innovations across a wide range of issues, locales, situations and domains. In this book, an international group of contributors train attention on the concepts of disjuncture, field, social space, sociability, organizations and network, mid-range concepts that are “good to think with.” Neither too narrowly defined nor too sweeping, these concepts can be used to think through a myriad of ethnographic situations.
