No full textIn this interview, the young Finn sociologist Olli Pyyhtinen, author of an important and recent book on Georg Simmel (Simmel and “the social”), explains what he believes to be central in Simmel’s sociology and thinking, as well as some of its limitations and challenges for contemporary sociology. His perspective highlights Simmel’s radical relationism. He also discusses the problem of the gift, as proposed by Mauss and others, and the dynamics that at the same time establishes and denies it.

Olli Pyyhtinen, The Gift and its Paradoxes. Beyond Mauss
No full textAvant d’entreprendre cette plongée dans l’œuvre de Marcel Mauss, Olli Pyyhtinen s’est fait connaître en 2010 avec un bel ouvrage consacré à Georg Simmel et reposant sur la même démarche. En effet, il entendait déjà aller « beyond Simmel », en faisant du maître de Berlin une lecture scrupuleuse à travers ce qu’il appelle un « portrait conceptuel ». Il ne s’agit de rien moins que d’une lecture philosophique de textes sociologiques fondateurs qu’il passe au crible du déconstructivisme derridien ..

Frames, handles and landscapes: Georg Simmel and the aesthetic ecology of things
No full text[Extract] The debate between so-called formalists, who are interested in the inner mechanics of visual, literary and sonic objects, and so-called historicists, who see art through the lens of ideology, discourse and society, has well and truly run out of steam. As I have argued elsewhere (de la Fuente 2007; 2010a; 2010b; 2015), there has recently been a renewed emphasis on the 'agencies' or 'affordances' of art (Acord and DeNora 2008; Gell 1998), on the materiality of aesthetic practices (Mukerji 1983), the kinds of passions engendered by art forms (Benzecry 2011; Hennion 2005 ), and even grudging recognition that social scientists interested in aesthetic matters may have something to learn from art historians and psychologists of art (Tanner 2004). If I had to nominate one prevalent characteristic within these trends in aesthetic thinking, it would be a desire to 'reanimate' what we mean by 'context'. Context itself has become something that we can't take for granted or assume in some a priori manner. If I can borrow from recent literatures in geography on the dynamic and relational character of place and space, we need a type of thinking that re-awakens or brings back to life 'Dead Context' (Thrift and Dewsbury 2000). Context as a living organism is much more than the 'lived experience' of the subject - that line of inquiry reinforces the assumption of an unbridgeable gap between materiality and sentience. A re-animated concept of context will need to be relational and dynamic, focused on both possibility and constraint, attentive to 'Life' as well as to 'form'
