The College of Sociology (1937–39)

The College of Sociology (1937–39)

Pierre Mabille
4.3/5 ( ratings)
On the eve of World War II, a group of men met regularly in the back room of the Paris bookstore to discuss contemporary society. However diverse their views and interests, they shared a primary intent: to counter anarchistic individualism of the Surrealists by seeking to understand how close knit communities formed. To this end, they propose the notion of a "sacred sociology" which would explore these phenomenons that draw individuals together in voluntary communion: brotherhood, secret societies, churches and armies. Now translated into English for the first time, The College of Sociology brings together all the relevant texts produced by members – lectures, articles, letters and notes – that set each text within its cultural and political context.
