Small Steps and Giant Leaps

The Social Phenomenology of Distance

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

In Small Steps and Giant Leaps, Eviatar Zerubavel explores how categorizing affects our perception of distance through "The Neil Armstrong Effect," the cognitive tendency to exaggerate perceived differences between cultural categories. In Zerubavel's signature style, the book demonstrates the parallel manners in which we have traditionally polarized our conventional visions of categories such as ... Leer más

Silence and Denial in Everyday Life

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

The fable of the Emperor's New Clothes is a classic example of a conspiracy of silence, a situation where everyone refuses to acknowledge an obvious truth. But the denial of social realities--whether incest, alcoholism, corruption, or even genocide-is no fairy tale. In The Elephant in the Room, Eviatar Zerubavel sheds new light on the social and political underpinnings of silence and denial-the ... Leer más

Genealogy, Identity, and Community

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

Genealogy has long been one of humanity's greatest obsessions. But with the rise of genetics, and increasing media attention to it through programs like Who Do You Think You Are? and Faces of America, we are now told that genetic markers can definitively tell us who we are and where we came from. The problem, writes Eviatar Zerubavel, is that biology does not provide us with the full picture. ... Leer más

An Invitation to Concept-Driven Sociology

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

In this invitation to "concept-driven" sociology, defying the conventional split between "theory" and "methodology" (as well as between "quantitative" and "qualitative" research), Eviatar Zerubavel introduces a yet unarticulated "Simmelian" method of theorizing specifically designed to reveal fundamental, often hidden social patterns. Insisting that it can actually be taught, he examines the ... Leer más

The Mental Discovery of America

An Invitation to Cognitive Sociology

Why do we eat sardines, but never goldfish; ducks, but never parrots? Why does adding cheese make a hamburger a "cheeseburger" whereas adding ketchup does not make it a "ketchupburger"? By the same token, how do we determine which things said at a meeting should be included in the minutes and which ought to be considered "off the record" and officially disregarded?In this wide-ranging and ...

La costruzione sociale dell’ovvietà

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

Perché mentre l’espressione “dichiaratamente gay” è così usata l’equivalente “apertamente etero” non lo è? Quali sono gli assunti che stanno alle spalle di locuzioni come “donna in carriera” o “infermiere maschio”? Perché Obama è considerato un uomo di colore con una madre bianca anziché un uomo bianco con un padre di colore? È davvero così naturale scandire lo scorrere del tempo con cicli di ... Leer más

The Social Structure of Irrelevance

de Eviatar Zerubavel ...

Many of us take for granted that what we perceive is a completely accurate representation of the world around us. Yet we have all had the experience of suddenly realizing that the keys or glasses that we had been looking for in vain were right in front of us the whole time. The capacity of our sense organs far exceeds our mental capabilities, and as such, looking at something does not guarantee ... Leer más
