Normative Intermittency

Focusing on the decline of welfare state models, this work explores the broader crisis of normative social structures in contemporary societies. It introduces the concept of "normative intermittency," illustrating the ongoing cycle of social structuration and destructuration. The book offers a theoretical framework for understanding these changes, critiques traditional sociological assumptions, and assesses the political implications of this crisis. Additionally, it discusses potential paths for emancipation through transformative social action, engaging with current debates in sociology and political theory.
