Thomas Kemple on Simmel

In this video, Thomas Kemple introduces the TCS special section on 'Simmel's 'Sociological Metaphysics': Money, Sociality,and Precarious Life', which he co-edited with Austin Harrington (TCS 29.7-8, Dec 2012). Read their article introducing the section here: http://tcs.sagepub.com/content/29/7-8... Read the rest of the section here: http://tcs.sagepub.com/content/29/7-8... Abstract The articles brought together in this double-length section of the Annual Review of Theory, Culture & Society focus on two intertwined strands of the thought of Georg Simmel, both of them neglected until recent years. A first bears on what might be called Simmel’s metaphysics of the social, or what he himself once called ‘sociological metaphysics’. A second strand centres on the renewed contemporary relevance of Simmel’s ideas about money economies and their relation to precarious individual life-situations in an age of global economic turbulence. Current sensibilities in the wake of global economic crisis and the demise of some of the more euphoric sociologies of globalization of the last two decades provide a timely setting for a reappraisal of Simmel’s thinking. With the completion in 2012 of the Suhrkamp edition of Simmel’s collected works, Simmel’s themes need to be explored more deeply, including particularly his thinking about lived experience, transcendence, death, fragmentary worlds of value, and allegorical representation. This issue of the journal showcases some of the latest scholarly work and foregrounds several pivotal primary pieces unavailable in English until now. ------------------------- TCS has published many articles by and about Simmel over the years, and you can see our e-special (also edited and introduced by Thomas Kemple) on David Frisby's work on Simmel here: http://tcs.sagepub.com/cgi/collection...
