Urban Tribes. Maffesoli. Part 1

This post will focus in a first approximation to the sociologist Michael Maffesoli (Intoku inspired me to write on this subject) and one of his most célecres (in my opinion the most important) "time tribes ", in which first coined the term" urban tribe. " The post for the most part, is a bit of practice I did at the University of Maffesoli and urban tribes. The practice is divided into three parts: The first and more theoretical approach to the author, a second part of a more theoretical and conceptual (centered on the concept urban tribe) and a third of an applied nature (the otaku tribe).

Respecting the initial division that I made at the time, I will divide this post into three parts (the second and the third one will hang in future post). Here you have the first part, I hope it disfuteis.

"The Time of the Tribes: The decline of individualism in mass societies" is one of the key works of the author Michel Maffesoli. This author was born on November 14, 1944 in Graissessac (France) since 1981 is professor of social sciences and humanities at the University of La Sorbonne (Paris) and currently holds the chair of Durkheim in this university.
"The Time of the Tribes" was published in 1990 and acquires special significance because in this work appear for the first terms, such as urban tribal or neo-tribalism that will have a vital importance, since then and to contemporary sociology. In this book the author makes a purely descriptive analysis (and all prospective) of postmodern society and today's mass society, focusing on the analysis of the processes of tribalism and describing the main features of urban tribes and to a lesser extent the main features members who compose it.
believe it is appropriate, before going deeper into the issue of tribalism (which is what I have chosen to carry out this work to be a key issue in this volume) provide a small overview of "The Time of the Tribes." Maffesoli
believes that modern societies are subject to a series of rapid change and "effervescent" that are transformed in an irremediable. In this work the author makes an analysis of these changes and their consequences, the "social body", different ideologies, different institutions ... slowly crumble and new values \u200b\u200bare generated and "transform" the old one very quickly. Keeping
a line of thought that analyzes the post-modern society, consider the feelings, passions, ideals ... have replaced the "reason" and rationality (typical of Enlightenment thinking) today. In addition the group now takes precedence over the individual aspects of the statistical imagination and calculation and finally the local over the global. Interestingly, to some extent as the group identification and the processes of "tribalism" liman and erode some concepts such as universality. In summary states that we are living the "era of the tribes' characterized by gregarious groups, factions ... where all relationships become totally unstable, ephemeral and constantly changing ... within mass society. He claims that tribalism is deeply rooted in the processes of postmodernity.
is important to note that the author believes that the logic of identity (whether sexual, professional, political etc.).'s Happened a process of identification with a particular group. For this reason there is a constant emergence of groups, networks, ephemeral confluence ...

A greeting and thanks to all readers.
