Читать книгу Sociology - Anthony Giddens - Страница 135

The question of the continuing relevance of sociology’s three broad traditions has come into sharper focus as theoretical challenges have emerged. Some of these have transformed the discipline while others are in the process of doing so today. In this section we briefly outline some important criticisms of sociology from the standpoint of feminism, which stresses sociological theory’s previous neglect of the experience of women. We then cover ideas rooted in postmodern and poststructural theory and end the section with postcolonial theories, which focus on the inherent Eurocentric bias within most social and sociological theories.
