Madrid, 27 June 2024

  • This book compiles the work and thought of the French sociologist
  • The publication includes analysis by Manuel Castells and José Félix Tezanos, among others.

Alain Touraine is one of the great classical authors of contemporary sociology, whose work revolved around the analysis of societies he termed post-industrial. These are societies in which social movements have been "the driving force behind the changes" that have occurred during this historical period.

This work is the result of assessments by some of his students and collaborators over time, whose purpose has been to provide a historical overview of the intellectual work of this eminent sociologist, focusing on the influence his work has had on sociology. This brief work includes analyses by sociologists such as Manuel Castells, José Félix Tezanos, Marina Subirats, Michel Wieviorka, and Verónica Díaz.
