Abstract

Une analyse très complète du processus de l'influence sociale, pour comprendre toute la complexité de ce phénomène. Nous revendiquons rarement le fait d'être influençables. Pourtant, en 1956, des études célèbres de Solomon Asch ont mis en lumière le fait que la vie en société nous met en permanence sous influence, qu'on en soit d'ailleurs conscient ou non. L'influence, ce n'est pas forcément de la manipulation : on peut être influencé par imitation, volontaire ou inconsciente. Dans la construction d'un consensus, on peut être influencé par la fonction normative, conformisante du groupe. L'influence participe ainsi du contrôle social, et crée de l'adhésion. On peut encore être influencé dans le cadre d'échange d'idées, d'acquisition de connaissances, de débats et de construction contradictoire d'opinions. L'influence concerne donc aussi l'apprentissage, l'innovation et la créativité. Cet ouvrage permet de découvrir et d'approfondir le concept d'influence sociale. Il intéressera à la fois étudiants et chercheurs en psychologie, en communication, en management, en marketing, mais aussi tout public intéressé par la compréhension de ces phénomènes.

Abstract

Where do we get our notions of social hierarchy and personal worth? What underlies our beliefs about the goals worth aiming for, the persons we hope to become? Elvin Hatch addresses these questions in his ethnography of a small New Zealand farming community, articulating the cultural system beneath the local social hierarchy. Hatch argues that, like people everywhere, these New Zealanders care very much about respectability, and he sets out to understand what that means to them. Hatch describes a complex body of thought, which he calls a cultural theory of social hierarchy, that defines not only the local system of social rank, but personhood as well. Because people define respectability differently and try to advance their definitions over those of others, a crucial part of Hatch's approach is to examine the processes by which these differences are worked out over time. Other social scientists posit a natural, universal human tendency to admire certain qualities, such as wealth or power, which they claim are easily identifiable in any society. Hatch argues against this view, showing that any given social hierarchy is not "natural" but culturally constructed and can be seen only when viewed from the local perspective. The observer cannot "see" the hierarchical order without entering into the cultural world of the people themselves. The concept of occupation is central to Hatch's analysis, since the work that people do provides the skeletal framework of the hierarchical order. He focuses in particular on sheep farming and compares his New Zealand community with one in California. Wealth and respectability among farmers are defined differently in the two places, with the result that California landholders perceive a social hierarchy different from the New Zealanders'. Thus the distinctive "shape" that characterizes the hierarchy among these New Zealand landholders and their conceptions of self reflect the distinctive cultural theory by which they live.

Abstract

This book examines the ways in which cultural arguments about value develop: the processes by which some practices, artists, and media in the artworld win and others lose. The authors argue that the concept of prestige, although uncomfortable and consistently overlooked, is an essential model for understanding artworld values.

Abstract

Ancient Greek literature, Athenian civic ideology, and modern classical scholarship have all worked together to reinforce the idea that there were three neatly defined status groups in classical Athens--citizens, slaves, and resident foreigners. But this book--the first comprehensive account of status in ancient democratic Athens--clearly lays out the evidence for a much broader and more complex spectrum of statuses, one that has important implications for understanding Greek social and cultural history. By revealing a social and legal reality otherwise masked by Athenian ideology, Deborah Kamen illuminates the complexity of Athenian social structure, uncovers tensions between democratic ideology and practice, and contributes to larger questions about the relationship between citizenship and democracy. Each chapter is devoted to one of ten distinct status groups in classical Athens (451/0-323 BCE): chattel slaves, privileged chattel slaves, conditionally freed slaves, resident foreigners (metics), privileged metics, bastards, disenfranchised citizens, naturalized citizens, female citizens, and male citizens. Examining a wide range of literary, epigraphic, and legal evidence, as well as factors not generally considered together, such as property ownership, corporal inviolability, and religious rights, the book demonstrates the important legal and social distinctions that were drawn between various groups of individuals in Athens. At the same time, it reveals that the boundaries between these groups were less fixed and more permeable than Athenians themselves acknowledged. The book concludes by trying to explain why ancient Greek literature maintains the fiction of three status groups despite a far more complex reality.

Abstract

Over the course of the last four decades, Robert Cialdini's work has helped spark an intellectual revolution in which social psychological ideas have become increasingly influential. The concepts presented in his book, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, have spread well beyond the geographic boundaries of North America and beyond the field of academic social psychology into the areas of business, health, and politics. In this book, leading authors, who represent many different countries and disciplines, explore new developments and the widespread impact of Cialdini's work in research are
