Synopsis
In this ground-breaking contribution to social theory, John Urry argues that the traditional basis of sociology - the study of society - is outmoded in an increasingly borderless world. If sociology is to make a pertinent contribution to the post societal era it must forget the social rigidities of the pre-global order and, instead, switch its focus to the study of both physical and virtual movement. In considering this sociology of mobilities, the book concerns itself with the travels of people, ideas, images, messages, waste products and money across international borders, and the implications these mobilities have to our experiences of time, space, dwelling and citizenship. Sociology Beyond Society extends recent debate about globalisation both by providing an analysis of how mobilities reconstitute social life in uneven and complex ways, and by arguing for the significance of objects, senses, and time and space in the theorising of contemporary life. This book will be essential reading for undergraduates and graduates studying sociology and cultural geography., Do societies still exist? How should sociology adapt after globalization? This book extends the recent debate about globalisation from the sociological perspective.

      The item never showed up. Looking through feedback, this seems to be a common issue. I order books pretty frequently on here and elsewhere; it's not hard to use media mail to ship in a timely fashion. Ordered two different books, both never showed up, both are marked as waiting for USPS to receive. Avoid this seller, especially if you need the items for any particular reason. They need to be banned from the platform, it's pretty pathetic to operate an online retail business in such poor fashion.
