メディア掲載レビュー
"We think in words. A careful discussion of the words we use helps us to think more clearly about modern western society. All academic libraries catering for the humanities or social sciences should consider requiring a reference copy, as should those public libraries which still feel their mission is to assist their readers in thinking clearly, rather than just to provide them with entertainment." Martin Guha, King's College London

Usless in the age of Wikipedia
2012/1/4
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This book, which was required for an introduction to graduate studies course I recently took, is nothing more than a specialized, and random, encyclopedia. The other reviews hail this volume as a "comprehensive resource" for multiple areas of study. The problem is, the definitions of each term are too broad to be useful to specialists and too random and/or inaccessible for people merely interested in these topics. Most of the terms are all so unrelated that I just don't see the point of owning this book. If you need a definition for "globalism" and "materialism," buying this book would be useless. There are plenty of free resources online which also define such terms, and often more comprehensively than this broad overview.
I can see why such a volume was viable when it was first printed in the 70's, but why it was reprinted in 2005 is beyond me. This seems to be an intellectual artifact with very little use in the 21st century.

Useful Seed for Content Dictionaries
2012/3/10
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This volume is an update of Raymond Williams' Keywords : A Vocabulary of Culture and Society published in 1985. The original volume was designed to provide "one-stop shopping" for definitions of social science terms used to discuss "culture and society." The authors have followed three strategies in their update: expanding definitions of the keywords to include conceptual analysis since 1985; adding new keywords which have become important during this time; and removing key words that have declined in importance. The result is a list of 142 keywords, each with an extended discussion of its history and meaning.
The book's value as a reference is a fair matter for debate. In some ways it may be superseded by the type and quantity of information on the web. But there are also advantages to a standard source, at least as a reference point. One additional advantage is its usefulness in building word lists or "content dictionaries" for automated analysis of text collections (see The Text Mining Handbook). The extensive cross-referencing of relationships between keywords and the common vocabulary used in their definitions have a consistency that reduces the amount of work needed to create content dictionary categories with crisp boundaries.
I recommend the book for researchers conducting content and text analysis of social and cultural themes.

A showcase of academic intellectual shortcomings ..........
2012/3/17
形式:ペーパーバック
There is one giant problem with this book. Quoting from the introduction, "We asked contributors to address the concepts in ways that would reflect their own perspectives ...". That is like asking Count Dracula to write a contribution on Vampirism.
I bought the book at a "$2 per inch" sale. This is a one inch book. The entries I have read have all demonstrated the loathesome bias typical of closed minds. What finished me was reading the Marxist entry on Fundamentalism. There may be worthy contributions in this book but they are rendered useless by the garbage surrounding them.
