Normative Intermittency

More about the book

The book explores the crisis in contemporary societies as a failure of normative social structures, particularly highlighting the decline of welfare states as a symptom of broader societal issues. It introduces the concept of 'normative intermittency' to analyze the shifting dynamics of social structuration and destructuration. The author proposes a methodological overhaul in sociology to better understand these transformations and evaluates political outcomes, ultimately discussing potential paths for emancipation through 'transformative social action' based on sociological diagnoses.
