We have just published David Nock’s review of “Immediacy: Our Ways of Coping in Everyday Life” By Fred Emil Katz. Nock suggests that Katz “presents a number of new concepts to help us in this investigation. The book illustrates these concepts in an array of fascinating case studies. In addition to their formal pedagogical intent, a fortuitous rider is that they never fail to peak our interest.”

We have just published David Nock’s review of Fred Emil Katz’s book “Immediacy: Our Ways to Cope in Everyday Life”. Nock highlights that Katz reveals how people have to cope with the world around us which existed before they were born and which they did not create. “Katz notes some parallels with Darwin but emphasizes that Darwin was concerned with large populations such as species. For the sociologist, the focus is on individual humans and how they engage in transactions between themselves and their overall environment.”

In his new paper, drawn from his recent book “Generally Speaking“, Eviatar Zerubavel introduces “concept-driven sociology”, a special way of theorizing designed to reveal abstract social patterns. The article illustrates generic social patterns by drawing on numerous examples from diverse cultural contexts and historical periods and a wide range of diverse social domains, as well as by disregarding scale.
