Description:

Within this publication, which is published to commemorate a milestone in Jiří Šubrt’s life, the editor Lucy Císař Brown has organised selected contributions by the author into four thematic areas: a) historical sociology: its development, content and professional focus; b) sociological issues of time, temporality and collective memory; c) theoretical discussions concerning conceptual problems and dilemmas in contemporary social sciences; d) developmental trends affecting the shape of contemporary societies and their historical development. What connects these thematic areas into one whole, giving the book a unified character, is Šubrt’s approach to sociology which emphasises the historical and processual perspective.
