If I succeed as a professor of sociology, it will be because of him. I am also deeply indebted to Émile Durkheim, who first exposed the anomic crisis, and without whom no one would be writing a sociology thesis. 3 Abstract: The term anomie has declined in the sociology literature. Apart from brief mentions, it has not featured in the American Sociological Review for sixteen years. Moreover, the term has narrowed and is now used almost exclusively to discuss deviance.

  • Essay on Durkheim's Theory of Division of Labour
    National Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development ISSN: 2455-9040 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.nationaljournals.com Volume 2; Issue 3; September 2017; Page No. 580-585 Essay on Durkheim’s theory of division of labour 1 Ajay Kumar Gautam, 2 Neha Yadav 1 Research Scholar, Centre for Studies of Law and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India 2 Research Scholar, Centre for Social Medicine & Community Health, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India Abstract Emile Durkheim is pre-eminently known for instituting a social theory which views sociology as a natural science subject to empirical study. His seminal research on labour, The Division of Labour in society, uses a comparative method to explain the morphological changes in labour in preindustrial and post-industrial societies. Durkheim categorised labour in primitive societies as mechanical solidarity for its homogenous nature, and its industrial counterpart as organic solidarity, suggesting its heterogeneous nature. Division of labour has a significant role to perform in the society since it does not depend on the establishment of economic services only but also generates harmony between people. Anomie has contributed to chaos in the social life and society is conscious of it and when society revitalises it results in social reconstruction. A foremost theme in all Durkheim’s writings is the importance of collective social norms and values in preserving social cohesion and solidarity. He argued that the nature of this social solidarity depends on the extent of the division of labour. Keywords: division of labour, mechanical solidarity, organic solidarity, anomie, social fact 1. Introduction 3. It reinforces the faith of the collectivism on the power of Durkheim was deeply concerned with the impact of the large- society doing right thing in the right place at right time scale structure of society, and society itself, on the thoughts 4.

  • Durkheim's Dilemma: Toward a Sociology of Emergence*
    Durkheim's Dilemma: Toward a Sociology of Emergence* R. KEITH SA WYER Washington University in St. Louis The concept of emergence is a central thread uniting Durkheim s theoretical and empir- ical work, yet this aspect of Durkheim s work has been neglected. I reinterpret Durkheim in light of theories of emergence developed by contemporary philosophers of mind, and I show that Durkheim s writings prefigure many elements of these contemporary theo- ries. Reading Durkheim as an emergentist helps to clarify several difficult and confus- ing aspects of his work, and reveals a range of unresolved issues. I identify five such issues, and I show how Durkheim s writings on emergence suggest potential responses. There can be no sociology unless societies exist, and. ..societies cannot exist if there are only individuals. Emile Durkheim ([1897] 1951:38) From its nineteenth-century origins, sociology has been faced with a foundational ques- tion: In what sense do social phenomena exist? We study social groups, collective behav- ior, institutions, social structures, social networks, and social dynamics, and after all, such social phenomena are only composed of the people who are in them. Thus, social phenom- ena seem to have no ontological status; and if not, sociology can ultimately be reduced to facts about individuals. Durkheim was the first to argue that this question was foundational to sociology. He argued that if only individuals exist, "Sociological laws can be only a corollary of the more general laws of psychology; the ultimate explanation of collective life will consist in showing how it emanatesfrom human nature in general" ([1895] 1964:98).

Dr. Baba Gana Kolo Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Maiduguri, Faculty of Social Sciences. Ajibola Ismail Damilola , University of Lagos. ABSTRACT: The Social PEN structural theory of change is constructed on the very foundation of (Karl Popper's, 1959) deduction method of social scientific theorizing. The theory is derived from the reflection of properties of an Atom. It has been tested and proved to be sociologically stable and ontologically rooted for the explanation of change in human behaviour in the society through social PEN Structural analysis that is highly social PEN invisible, visible and PEN indivisible. The theory shows how to notice social PEN structures through sociological lens with contemporary examples on the context of Socio-economic and political fundamentals of our everyday lives. The social PEN structural dynamics take place in our offices, homes and in our cars. Individual member of the society creates social PEN structures every day, everywhere and at all time and it is a social phenomenon suigeneris. The social PEN theory has established a three class model as its nomological network.
