>Emile Durkheim was born 15 April 1858 in Épinal in Lorraine, the son of Mélanie (Isidor) and Moïse Durkheim. He came from a long line of devout French Jews; his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had been rabbis.

Simmel's my favorite by far
Don't let the title fool you..
Also, any sociology chart will have to feature Vico's New Science at the tip top

[Anonymous No.15090536]

>>15090395
Yup, sociology is completely dominated by Jews.
See Simmel too >>15090513
If you want a goy, Ferdinand Tonnies' 'Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft' is the way to go.

See pic related for most cited authors. As you can see, sociology is something of a joke field.

mauss would've been impossible without Durkheim

I already know it's a joke field but how do these cited authors add to that?

3 people on this board have even pretended to read bourdieu

[Anonymous No.15091724]

Twenty three posts and no mention of Max Weber. This board is beyond saving.

OP asked for sociology, not conti schizo-babble """"social theory"""".

[Anonymous No.15091735]

>>15090353
Start with the French.

[Anonymous No.15091755]

>>15091733
The entire first list contains the grandfathers of the subject and the rest are what you can expect to have to grapple with whether you like the subject or not. Sure, there are analytic and positivist streams but I don't care about those beyond Chomsky, so "conti schizo-babble """social theory"""" aside it's a relevant list of sociological and sociology-adjacent authors and texts

>>15091787
That's fine but OP asked for books on sociology and that's what I responded to regardless of my clear ideological leanings

[Anonymous No.15091843]

>>15091800
Congratulations, you have the honor being less retarded than your previous posters. Still, you only have a passing mention of him without mentioning any of his works and instead recommend all that French schizo crap, so we might say, you're retarded enough.

Weber is arguably the only sociologist worth reading.

[Anonymous No.15091877]

The only sociologists worth reading are Marx (left) and Pareto (right).

[Anonymous No.15091892]

The only sociologist worth reading is Gabriel Tarde

[Anonymous No.15091897]

>Bauman
Shame, you started off well.

[Anonymous No.15091909]

>>15091843
Engaging with sociology means eventually engaging with french 'schizobabble' or at least knowing the texts, omitting them from a list is ignoring their influence on the subject and on the history of western thought in general.

Writing these authors off as 'schizobabble' is a very good way to out yourself as a brainlet though

[Anonymous No.15091917]

>>15091897
Liquid Modernity is a good text and worth reading if only because it's a nice idea to play around with and eventually throw away

[Anonymous No.15091945]

>>15091755
No one on earth needs to grapple with Land or Fisher. The other thinkers are commendable in their own right, but not sociology. Only the first four are actual sociologists.

[Anonymous No.15091949]

>>15091909
No, he's right -- it's literally schizobabble. This is well-known among scholars of serious disciplines.

[Anonymous No.15091988]

>>15091945
The last list is just CCRU but the rest, whether you can call them sociologists or not, are arguably still relevant to the study of sociology

>>15091949
Still worth reading even if you don't hold either of our opinions and want to know where sociological thought has moved in the last century. Schizobabble or not these are major citations, the DNA of these authors is everywhere

[Anonymous No.15092007]

>>15090966
Is this most cited in the field of sociology itself or most cited sociologists?

Because i feel like Foucault is mentioned by English majors and psychologists non stop, but isn’t the monumental figure you expect in the world of political science

[Anonymous No.15092011]

>>15091949
I doubt you can deny that any serious appraisal of schizophrenic continental thought isn't worthwhile, even if it's just to throw the authors out later. There's no point in limiting your knowledge especially when those particular authors hold a large amount of influence over discourse that you're guaranteed to run across eventually

[Anonymous No.15092020]

>>15090536

no, weber is. but why would you want a goy's opinion anyway? jews are naturally more capable of analyzing society because they have an outsider's perspective.

[Anonymous No.15092025]

>>15092007
It's likely citations in the field and not cited sociologists. Sociology is more of a nexus that draws on work from other fields frequently. It's not rare to read sociolgical texts that have as their foundation political scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers etc

[Anonymous No.15092037]

>>15092011
There is no knowledge to be gained from these charlatans. They are best avoided.

[Anonymous No.15092046]

>>15092025
Ah yeah that makes sense

I thought sociology and political science where the same thing for some reason. Woops

[Anonymous No.15092071]

>>15092037
Then your only answer to anybody who cites seriously Deleuze & Guattari, or Lacan, or Derrida, will be the same as this post and if that's how you appoach learning and reading then that's fine

I'm only suggesting that their influence exists whether you like it or not

[Anonymous No.15092100]

>>15091945
this is correct

[Anonymous No.15092380]

>>15092071
The influence of their names perhaps -- not their ideas, since they didn't have any.

Explain one of Derrida's "ideas" without using buzzwords or neologisms.
