Ulrich Beck: An Introduction to the Theory of Second Modernity and the Risk Society: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ulrich Beck: An Introduction to the Theory of Second Modernity and the Risk Society" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Since the 1980s, Ulrich Beck has worked extensively on his theories of second modernity and the risk society. In Ulrich Beck, Mads P. Srensen and Allan Christiansen provide an extensive and thorough introduction to the German sociologists collected works. The book covers his sociology of work, his theories of individualization, globalization and subpolitics, his world famous theory of the risk society and second modernity as well as his latest work on cosmopolitanism.
Focusing on the theory outlined in Becks chief work, Risk Society, and on his theory of second modernity, Srensen and Christiansen explain the sociologists ideas and writing in a clear and accessible way. Largely concerned with the last 25 years of Becks authorship, the book nevertheless takes a retrospective look at his works from the late seventies and early eighties, and reviews the critique that has been raised against Becks sociology through the years. Each chapter of Ulrich Beck comes with a list of suggested further reading, as well as explanations of core terms. The book also includes a biography of Beck, and full bibliographies of his work in both English and German.
This comprehensive introduction will be of interest to all students of sociology, contemporary social theory, globalization theory, environmental studies, politics, geography and risk studies.
