Alienation, Community, and Work: (Contributions in Sociology)
( In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest...)
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in alienation by writers throughout the world. At least in the economically advanced nations, one reason for the rediscovery of alienation is the need for a term to denote the relatively new phenomenon of dissatisfaction in the midst of material prosperity and political freedom. The contributors to this volume collectively seek a concept of alienation that will be a useful tool in social diagnosis--a key to identifying causes of undesirable social conditions. The result is a collection of essays in policy-oriented social theory, keyed to problems of modern life at the end of the twentieth century and written from richly diverse cultural, political, and philosophical backgrounds. The linchpin of the volume is the essay by Melvin Seeman, which discusses and connects two distinct approaches to alienation theory, one that emphasizes subjective feelings and one that emphasizes social structures as definitive of alienation. The other essays range from theoretical critiques of Marxist and Durkheimian explanations, to the role of alienation in political systems in East and West, to empirical studies in Swedish factories and among Israeli kibbutzim. In all the essays, the idea of alienation as a loss of the sense of belonging to community plays a role. Some of the essays are critical of a communitarian approach, some deal with it obliquely and others overtly espouse it. All are policy oriented, suggesting explicitly or indirectly work- and community- dealienation strategies for modern industrial societies. This book is useful as a supplementary text in social and political philosophy courses, and sociology and social psychology courses dealing with urban problems.

Alienation, Community, and Work
( This volume of essays and studies analyzing phenomena a...)
This volume of essays and studies analyzing phenomena and processes of alienation and de-alienation in modem societies is based on a selection of original papers presented at two international conferences. The Conference on Urban Alienation: The Search for De-alienation Strategies was held at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, May 4-5, 1984. Six papers, each followed by a prepared commentary, were presented. The essays by Melvin Seeman, Alan Whitehorn, and John Lachs are revised versions of papers from that conference. The conference was organized by An¬drew Oldenquist (U. S. A.) and was supported by The Ohio State University, O. S. U.'s Mershon Center, and the Ethics Resource Center of Washington, D.C. The International Conference on De-alienation through Participatory Democracy and Self-management was held at the Inter-university Centre of Postgraduate Studies in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, March 18-23, 1985. It was or¬ganized by Mihailo Markovic (Yugoslavia), Menachem Rosner (Israel), and David Schweitzer (Canada). The conference was held under the joint auspices of the International Sociological Association's Research Committees on Alien¬ation and on Participation, Workers' Control and Self-management. The emphasis of the Dubrovnik conference was on practical strategies for reducing alienation and improving the quality of life--in the light of theory, . philosophy, and existing research findings--in the realm of work, organizations, and international communities. Twenty-one papers were presented, organize.d around six main themes. Essays based on the Dubrovnik conference are those by David Schweitzer, Laslo Sekelj, Andrew Oldenquist, Menachem Rosner, L. E. Karlsson, Uriel Leviatan, and Judith Buber-Agassi. A number of people were of great help in the conceptualization and organization of the volume, including, among others, Felix Geyer and Frank Johnson, as well as some of the contributors. Dr. James Sabin, Executive Vice President of Greenwood Press, and Greenwood editors Maureen Melina and Diane Spalding were very helpful in the different stages of the production of the book and we wish to thank them. We also wish to thank Kimberly Holle at The Ohio State University Department of Philosophy for her expert work of typing, formatting, printing, and indexing the camera-ready manuscript.
