Categorization and the Moral Order (Routledge Revivals) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1984, this is a study of categorization practices: how people categorize each other and their actions; how they describe, infer, and judge. The book presents a sociological analysis and description of practical activities and makes a cogent contribution to the study of how the moral order actually works in practical communicative contexts.

Rezensionen

"This book is exemplary in its coverage, providing a detailed discussion of how to approach membership categorisation analysis. It offers a useful breakdown of concepts and methods such as incumbency rules, the relationship between attributes and predicates and how typifications are routinely used to make moral judgements... it is, in my view, one of the very best works in the field."- Lorraine Locke, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, Sociology (Sage)
