A study and assessment of the career of Frederic Le Play (1806-1882), now recognised as a founder of modern sociology. The main theme consists of a detailed and impartial analysis of Le Play's thoughts on the relationship between society and technology. His contributions to fields other than sociology are also considered.
After the heroic nudes of the Renaissance and depictions of the tortured bodies of Christian saints, early seventeenth-century French artists turned their attention to their fellow humans, to nobles and beggars seen on the streets of Paris, to courtesans standing at their windows, to vendors advertising their wares, to peasants standing before their landlords. Realism and Role-Play draws on literature, social history, and affect theory in order to understand the way that figuration performed social positions.
This is the first full-length study and assessment of the career of Frederic Le Play (1806-1882), now recognized as a founder of modern sociology. It gives an account of his pioneering use of the methods of observation and experimentation. Le Play shows how his work was a particularly important contribution to the genesis and evolution of some principle doctrines of social research. The main theme of Brooke's work consists of a detailed and impartial analysis of the most important feature of Le Play's thought: the relationship between society and technology.
