Bücher von Franco Ferrarotti

Including time as a factor in sociological analysis is the only way to reintroduce the dynamic moment of social reality as a mental construct into an analytical process otherwise reified by the limits of quantitative methods.

With the advent of a new millenium little more than a decade away, Professor Ferrarotti has written a unique collection of futurological scenarios that stresses the importance of both the historical and a muti-disciplinary approach.

This text examines how many, in the waning years of the 20th century, are attempting to forget or reinvent history to serve the purposes of ethnic, racial, or religious separation. It focuses on anti-Semitism and its re-emergence among the "Skinheads" of the 1980s.

Franco Ferrarotti here offers a provocative look at the future of a world dominated by mass media--particularly television.

Franco Ferrarotti examines the ways in which we have come to cope with the problems unforeseen by the early idealists of the industrial age. While many writers have dealt with specific aspects of the modern industrial age, Ferrarotti faces squarely the general problem of the social and political impact of technologically based life.
