Handbook of Neurosociology (Handbooks of Sociology and Social Research)

Until just lately, a handbook on neurosociology would have been viewed with skepticism by sociologists, who've long been protecting of their disciplinary domain towards perceived encroachment by biology. But quite a few developments within the last decade or so have made sociologists extra receptive to biological components in sociology and social psychology. A lot of this has been inspired by the coeditors of this volume, David Franks and Jonathan Turner. This new interest has been increased by the explosion of analysis in neuroscience on brain functioning and mind-atmosphere interaction (by way of new MRI technologies), with implications for social and psychological functioning. This handbook emphasizes the mixing of views within sociology in addition to between fields in social neuroscience. For example, Franks represents a social constructionist position following from G.H. Mead’s voluntaristic principle of the act whereas Turner is more social structural and positivistic. Furthermore, this handbook not only accommodates contributions from sociologists, but main figures from the psychological perspective of social neuroscience.
