الحداثة المتجددة: نحو مجتمعات أكثر إنسانية

Rate this book
يتصدّى المؤلّف للنظريات التي تختزل المجتمعات الحديثة إلى مجرّد مجتمعات اقتصادية أو ثقافية أو استهلاكية، ويرفض كل حتمية تقيّد السلوك الإنساني بقوانين ثابتة بما في ذلك القوانين الثقافية.

الكتاب محاولةٌ لتبيان ما يُشكِّل خاصية الحداثة، أي الإبداعية البشرية أو التاريخ. فما يُميّز مجتمعنا المعاصر هو التفطّن إلى هذه الخاصيّة، الذي أسفر عن حداثة يدعوها «الحداثة الفائقة» التي وعت شرطها الإبداعي والتاريخي، إضافة إلى ما خلّفته من دمار ومجازر جماعية وعرقية. هذا «الوعي التام والمباشر» هو ما يَسِمُ مجتمعات الحداثة الفائقة.

يدعونا ألان تورين إلى الانطلاق من جديد من فكرة الحداثة من أجل التفكير في عصرنا ضدّ نظام اقتصادي شرس يهدِّد بالإجهاز على العلوم الاجتماعية. ويُعيد بناء تصوِّر عن ذاك الإنسان القادر على تغيير بيئته الاجتماعية وحتّى شرطه الإنساني انطلاقاً من ممارسة الإرادة وتجربتها.

About the author

Alain Touraine

108 books79 followers
Alain Touraine is a French sociologist. He is research director at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he founded the Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux (see also Daniel Bertaux). He is best known for being the originator of the term "post-industrial society". His work is based on a "sociology of action," and believes that society shapes its future through structural mechanisms and its own social struggles. Touraine defined historicity as the capability of a society to take action upon itself, see The Self-Production of Society (1977).
His key interest for most of his career has been with social movements. He has studied and written extensively on workers' movements across the world, particularly in Latin America and more recently in Poland where he observed and aided the birth of Solidarnosc (Solidarity), see Solidarity: The Analysis of a Social Movement (1983). While in Poland, he developed the research method of "Sociological Intervention," which had been outlined in "The Voice and the Eye" (La Voix et le Regard) [1981].
Touraine has gained immense popularity in Latin America as well as in continental Europe. Yet he has failed to gain anywhere near the same recognition in the English-speaking world. Out of twenty or so books, only about half of them have been translated into English.
He participated in 1969 at MoMA's Universitas project organized by Argentine architect Emilio Ambasz. In 2010, he was jointly awarded, with Zygmunt Bauman, the Príncipe de Asturias Prize for Communication and the Humanities.
