¿Qué es la sociología apasionada? ¿Es la sociología digna de pasión? Generalmente, la sociología se muestra como un sistema objetivo de pensamiento y práctica. La pasión se debe evitar o es, como mínimo, algo sospechoso. Ahora, por fin, contamos con un libro que argumenta de forma sincera sobre la pasión como algo necesario en la sociología. Este texto no trata simplemente de la sociología apasionada, sino que la demuestra. Este libro pretende entusiasmar a los lectores con un análisis de lo que puede hacer la sociología para ayudarles a comprender sus vidas y las condiciones sociales de nuestro tiempo. Presentando y desarrollando gran número de temas principales, entre ellos la identidad, el conocimiento, la metáfora, la magia, el deseo, el poder, la vida cotidiana y la mediación cultural, Sociología apasionada nos invita a analizar dichos temas mediante prácticas de lectura, escritura, oratoria, aprendizaje, narrativa, representación y organización. Diseñado para alumnos de todos los niveles, este libro altera notablemente la aproximación al estudio de la sociología, desafiando los manuales consolidados y apuntando nuevas e inspiradoras formas de acercarse a la materia.

This book takes a new, critical, and multidisciplinary look at experiences and meanings of social intervention in different social contexts, taking the approaches of social constructionism as a theoretical approach. The volume collects the results of theoretical-practical experiences that social science professionals with critical and constructionist visions linked to social work intervention have carried out in different spaces. It considers the way social work intervention models are built, their foundation, and their application. It provides the findings on tested intervention models built according to the basis of social constructionism in specific social scenarios, providing interesting findings that show intervention alternatives beyond traditional approaches. The social intervention strategies discussed take place in diverse situations, including health recovery and reconstruction in breast cancer, family abandonment issues of institutionalized adolescents, institutional care of refugee families, women caregivers of children with disabilities, men who exercise violence, and more.

This book analyzes the connections between social policies and politics of sensibilities. The authors show how social policies build sociabilities, experiences and sensibilities, producing processes of conflict avoidance and consecration of the given. After discussing violence against women as a case study in order to understand the current state of social policies, the authors then describe how the “place” and “value” of education have become central features to social policies in order to disband conflict. Finally, they explain the emergence of a social phenomenon in the last sixteen years in Latin America and particularly Argentina: the compensatory consumption system and the resulting emergence of the “assisted citizen.”

The International Handbook on Educational Leadership and Social (In)Justice creates a first-of-its-kind international forum on conceptualizing the meanings of social justice and leadership, research approaches in studying social justice and combating social injustices, school, university and teacher leadership for social justice, advocacy and advocates for social justice, socio-cultural representations of social injustices, glocal policies, and leadership development as interventions. The Handbook is as much forward-looking as it is a retrospective review of educational research literatures on social justice from a variety of educational subfields including educational leadership, higher education academic networks, special education, health education, teacher education, professional development, policy analyses, and multicultural education. The Handbook celebrates the promises of social justice while providing the educational leadership research community with concrete, contextualized illustrations on how to address inequities and combat social, political and economic injustices through the processes of education in societies and educational institutions around the world.
