We're in an era of ever increasing attention to animal rights, and activism around the issue is growing more widespread and prominent. In this volume, Kerstin Jacobsson and Jonas Lindblom use the animal rights movement in Sweden to offer the first analysis of social movements through the lens of Emile Durkheim's sociology of morality. By positing social movements as essentially a moral phenomenon--and morality itself as a social fact--the book complements more structural, cultural, or strategic action-based approaches, even as it also demonstrates the continuing value of classical sociological approaches to understanding contemporary society Cover......Page 1 Table of Contents......Page 6 Preface......Page 8 1.

For The First Time, Durkheim's Sociology Of Morality Is Used For Social Movement Theorizing. Nevertheless, Durkheim's Approach Is Used As A Basis For Further Theorization, Including Developing A Deviance Perspective On Social Movements. The Moral-sociological Framework Is Also Useful For Theorizing The Role Of Moral Reflexivity And Emotion Work Among Activists. 0this Book Fills A Gap In Existing Approaches To Social Movements By Seeing Social Movements As Essentially Moral Phenomena And By Conceiving Of Morality As A Social Fact, Which Both Enables And Constrains The Action That Activists Can Pursue. By Doing So, It Complements Existing More Structural, Cultural Or Strategic Action-inspired Approaches To Social Movements. In Addition, The Book Richly Illustrates How Classical Sociological Theory Can Be Used In New Ways To Understand Contemporary Societies. Kerstin Jacobsson And Jonas Lindblom.
