Abstract: What exactly do we see when we observe society ? How must we look in order to see social phenomenons ? How do we perceive these images ? Such are the questions evoked by Pierre Moessinger, who shows us how to direct our look in order to perceive changes, cohesion, imitation, and regularities, orders or disorders. An observer looks at the Earth from his airplane. His interest is drawn to cities, paths of communication and disposition of things. While the airplane is getting closer to the ground, new questions arouse about what is appearing, and what is disappearing. Touching the ground, he continues his observation. From his window, he observes the circulation flow of the vehicles and pedestrians. He walks down the street in order to have a closer observation. On the basis of what he has observed at diff rent elevels, our narrator speculates on the social dynamics (for example on conformism, propagation, avoidance, competition). He seeks to understand these phenomenons and to explain them, through the circumstances, regulations and process that govern social systems and their connections. He lingers on the frequentation of pizzerias or movie theaters, on the crowd's movements and micro-events in the streets, in order to approach the logic of social phenomenons. This book helps to see and think society on the basis of human activities. It insists on the elevels of social reality, on the links between micro and macro, on the unit of social phenomenons and seeks to create reconciliation between psychology and sociology.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/2/70/566/674/2705666745_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "41.95", "online_price" : "41.95", "our_price" : "41.95", "club_price" : "41.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
