Adriana Mica

Sociology as Analysis of the Unintended

From the Problem of Ignorance to the Discovery of the Possible

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In relation to the internal dynamics of sociology of unintended consequences, Adriana Mica makes an erudite journey in relation to its three main analytical frameworks, their semantic shifts, setbacks and theoretical revivals. Certainly, through the examination of the use of protective headgear in boxing, this volume renders explicitly the possibilistic turn not only in the specific research of the unintended, but in sociology more generally.
