Abstract

Er wordt vaak iets te gemakkelijk en vanzelfsprekend over 'de' solidariteit en 'de' cohesie in de samenleving gesproken, alsof het om eenvoudige en eendimensionele begrippen gaat waarvan je de toe- of afname met een eenduidige maatstaf kunt meten. Er is echter niet één overkoepelende solidariteit, maar er bestaan vele vormen van solidariteit; formele, statelijke solidariteit tot uitdrukking komend in het sociale zekerheidsstelsel of het migratiebeleid; van mening zijn dat er niet op de sociale zekerheid mag worden beknibbeld of dat mensen met riskante leefgewoontes niettemin gelijk behandeld moeten worden in de gezondheidszorg; daadwerkelijk informele hulp en zorg bieden aan mensen uit oudere generaties; geld geven aan goede doelen; vrijwilligerswerk; informele onderlinge steun binnen arme huishoudens of in kringen van illegale vreemdelingen. Het zijn allemaal verschillende uitingsvormen van solidariteit. Een andere vanzelfsprekendheid in het denken over solidariteit is dat overwegend de positieve zijde van het verschijnsel wordt belicht: solidariteit wordt gezien als iets goeds, iets dat volgens sommigen bedreigd wordt en onder druk staat, en dat dus gekoesterd en eventueel nieuw leven ingeblazen moet worden. Uit de klassieke sociologie blijkt echter al dat solidariteit een 'tweesnijdend zwaard' is: waar bepaalde mensen binnen solidariteitskringen worden opgenomen, worden anderen daarvan tegelijkertijd uitgesloten. Bovendien kunnen solidariteit en cohesie verstikkende vormen aannemen: niemand mag afwijken van de groepsnormen, niemand mag boven het maaiveld uitsteken. In Het cement van de samenleving worden beide vanzelfsprekendheden ter discussie gesteld. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

This book critically explores ways of thinking about the city and its relevance for the profession of social work. It provides a colourful illustration of practice drawing on examples of social work responses to a range of issues emerging from the unprecedented scale, density and pace of change in cities. The associated challenges posed for social work include: the increased segregation of the poor, the crisis of affordable housing, homelessness, gentrification, ageing, displacement as a result of migrations, and the breakdown of social support and care. Drawing on multiple disciplines, this groundbreaking work shows that these familiar features of the twenty-first century can be counteracted by the positive aspects of the city: its innovation, creativity and serendipity. It has a redistributive, caring and cohesive potential. The city can provide new opportunities and resources for social work to influence, to collaborate, to foster participation and involvement, and to extend its social justice mandate. The book shows that the city represents a critical arena in terms of the future of social work intervention and social work identity. In doing so, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of social work, social policy, community work and urban studies.

Abstract

Anthony Giddens has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade. In The Constitution of Society he outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought, a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form. A particular feature is Giddensa s concern to connect abstract problems of theory to an interpretation of the nature of empirical method in the social sciences. In presenting his own ideas, Giddens mounts a critical attack on some of the more orthodox sociological views. The Constitution of Society is an invaluable reference book for all those concerned with the basic issues in contemporary social theory.
