"This book explores the ways in which social relations are profoundly changing modern society, arguing that, constituting a reality of their own, social relations will ultimately lead to a new form of society: an after-modern or relational society. Drawing on the thought of Simmel, it extends the idea that society consists essentially of social relations, in order to make sense of the operation of dichotomous forces in society and to examine the emergence of a 'third' in the morphogenetic processes. Through a realist and critical relational sociology, which allows for the fact that human beings are both internal and external to social relations, and therefore to society, the author shows how we are moving towards a new, trans-modern society - one that calls into question the guiding ideas of western modernity, such as the notion of linear progression, that science and technology are the decisive factors of human development, and that culture can entirely supplant nature. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, social theorists, economists, political scientists and social philosophers with interests in relational thought, critical realism and social transformation".

This reprint aims to advance the current knowledge in ion irradiation studies and accelerated ageing of materials. The collected papers address various areas in the field, from the fundamentals of ion beam irradiation to innovative experimental characterization of the materials and related theoretical modelling. The present research contributes primarily to the understanding of the applied aspects of ion bombardment as a surrogate for neutron irradiation and a tool for experimental simulation of harsh radiation environments. At the same time, this Special Issue features several exciting studies on the microstructural characterization of the radiation tolerance of materials across a broad spectrum of scientific and industrial areas.

This book is about Erving Goffman’s frame analysis as it, on the one hand, was presented in his 1974 book Frame Analysis and, on the other, was actually conducted in a number of preceding substantial analyses of different aspects of social interaction such as face-work, impression management, fun in games, behavior in public places and stigmatization. There was, in other words, a frame analytic continuity in Goffman’s work. In an article published after his death in 1982, Goffman also maintained that he throughout his career had been studying the same object: the interaction order. In this book, the author states that Goffman also applied an overarching perspective on social interaction: the dynamic relation between ritualization, vulnerability and working consensus. However, there were also cracks in Goffman´s work and one is shown here with reference to the leading question in Frame Analysis – what is it that’s going on here? While framed on a "microsocial" level, that question ties in with "the interaction order" and frame analysis as a method. If, however, it is framed on a societal level, it mirrors metareflective and metasocial manifestations of changes and unrest in the interaction order that, in some ways, herald the emphasis on contingency, uncertainty and risk in later sociology. Through analyses of social media as a possible new interaction order – where frame disputes are frequent – and of interactional power, the applicability of Goffman’s frame analysis is illustrated. As such, this book will appeal to scholars and students of social theory, classical sociology and social interaction.

L'expression « relations communautaires » est couramment utilisée pour désigner les relations sociales entre les catholiques et les protestants d'Irlande du Nord. La désignation peut surprendre : on sait que la ségrégation et les tensions n'ont pas cessé, malgré les avancées politiques réalisées en faveur de la paix, et la signature de l'Accord dit du Vendredi Saint le 10 avril 1998. Cet ouvrage s'interroge sur ce qui se cache derrière ces contradictions apparentes. Il décrit d'abord les espaces dans lesquels s'insèrent les relations sociales entre les catholiques et les protestants d'Irlande du Nord (l'espace résidentiel, les établissements scolaires et universitaires, les structures sportives, etc.). Il analyse ensuite les mécanismes relationnels qui sous-tendent les rapports communautaires (les représentations mentales, le rapport à l'équité et le jeu des pouvoirs). Il étudie enfin les programmes dits de « relations intercommunautaires » destinés à favoriser le rapprochement entre les deux communautés. On assiste ainsi à l'émergence d'une nouvelle dynamique favorable à l'apaisement, en dépit de résistances tenaces.
