«La mirada social: Un marco de pensamiento distinto para el siglo XXI» is Alain Touraine's sociology essay, in paperback (272 pages).
Facing the crisis of the idea of society, Alain Touraine criticizes the «dominant interpretive discourse» of the 20th century and proposes a sociology centered on the individual as a subject, bearer of universal rights lived in concrete social and cultural contexts, whose recognition is the principle for evaluating conduct and situations.
It belongs to the Estado y Sociedad collection, where it is number 171. The book was originally published as «Penser autrement» in 2007.
For readers interested in contemporary sociology, social thought and the role of the individual in today's societies.
Alain Touraine was a French sociologist. He was research director at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he founded the Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux.
