Successful societies – “self, individualism and moral communities under neo-liberalism.”

摘要

Personal Reflections on Successful Societies meeting, London, January 30-31 2015 by Mike Savage.ududThis blog reports on a fascinating seminar held at the end of January in London, part funded by my ESRC Professorial Fellowship. This seminar was an unusual opportunity to allow interchange between eminent European and North American social scientists to address the relationship between “Self, Individualism and Moral Communities under Neo-Liberalism.” The over-arching concern was to consider how profound neo-liberal restructuring has been associated with the remaking of personal identities and how we can thus better understand the links between change at the macro and micro level as they are occurring today.
