In The Dead Sociologists Society, Mark Stobbe manages to attend a meeting of the Dead Sociologists Society where he learns that the magical struggle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort really happened. The Harry Potter series was implanted in the mind of J.K. Rowling in order to disguise the turbulent events as fiction. What follows is a brilliant imagining of what the ghosts of famous dead sociologists would make of the elaborate magical world. From the perspective of thinkers, such as Max Weber, Karl Marx, Georg Simmel, Pitirim Sorokin, W.E.B. DuBois, and Emile Durkheim, Stobbe examines questions such as: • Were the secret societies of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters really that different? • Why was Hermione Granger's attempt to free house-elves from slavery so unsuccessful? • How was stigma handled in the magical world? In addition to chapters written from the perspective of one sociologist, the book contains two panel discussions. In the first, Karl Marx and Max Weber debate the reasons for the technological backwardness of the magical world. In the second, six famous dead criminologists give different explanations for why Tom Riddle became the notorious Lord Voldemort. The Dead Sociologists Society is an entertaining compendium of sociological analyses of the Harry Potter series. Perhaps more importantly, this book offers a serious and insightful journey through classical sociological thought. It is an ideal text for high school and university sociology students.

Download and read online ebook Postmortal Society write by Michael Hviid Jacobsen. This book was released on 2017-03-31. Postmortal Society available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Throughout history mankind has struggled to reconcile itself with the inescapability of its own mortality. This book explores the themes of immortality and survivalism in contemporary culture, shedding light on the varied and ingenious ways in which humans and human societies aspire to confront and deal with death, or even seek to outlive it, as it were. Bringing together theoretical and empirical work from internationally acclaimed scholars across a range of disciplines, Postmortal Society offers studies of the strategies adopted and means available in modern society for trying to ‘cheat’ death or prolong life, the status of the dead in the modern Western world, the effects of beliefs that address the terror of death in other areas of life, the ‘immortalisation’ of celebrities, the veneration of the dead in virtual worlds, symbolic immortality through work, the implications of understanding ‘immortality’ in chemical-neuronal terms, and the apparent paradox of our greater reverence for the dead in increasingly secular, capitalist societies. A fascinating collection of studies that explore humanity’s attempts to deal with its own mortality in the modern age, this book will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers and scholars of cultural studies with interests in death and dying.

Download and read online ebook Durkheim is Dead! write by Arthur Asa Berger. This book was released on 2003-04-28. Durkheim is Dead! available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this sociology textbook/mystery novel, students can join Sherlock Holmes and Watson as they discover a new area ripe for acrimony and intrigue: social theory. In 1910, the most prominent social theorists in the world gather in London for a conference on the new science of sociology. Things rapidly fall apart, though, as a fight breaks out, a jewel is stolen, and famous sociologist Emile Durkheim disappears. As Sherlock Holmes and Watson investigate, it appears that social theory may not only explain actions—in this case, it may be the cause of them. So Holmes and Watson investigate social theory itself, learning directly from those creating it: W.E.B. Du Bois, Sigmund Freud, Vladimir Lenin, Beatrice Webb, Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber. The theories, lives, and passions of each sociologist are revealed as Holmes and Watson learn first-hand just how influential social theory can be.
