Excellent- More about Civilisation and Informalisation: Connecting Long-Term Social and Psychic Processes
Over the past century and a half, manners and formalities in the West have become less status-ridden, stiff, and rigid, leading to the concept of informalization. This increasing informality, leniency, and flexibility comes with a growing demand on individuals to self-regulate their emotions. This book will stimulate debate around the changes in the standards of manners and emotion regulation and generate new avenues of enquiry that focus on issues involving informalization.

Over the past century and a half, significant changes have occurred in Western manners and formalities, moving away from their traditional focus on status, stiffness, and rigidity. This shift has been the subject of intense debates, particularly in light of Norbert Elias' theory of civilising processes. The concept of informalisation has emerged to describe these transformations, which have encompassed an increase in informality, leniency, and flexibility in social interactions.
Alongside this trend, there has been a growing demand on individuals to self-regulate their emotions, as the boundaries between formal and informal settings continue to blur. This book aims to stimulate debate around these changes in manners and emotion regulation, and to generate new avenues of enquiry that focus on the implications of informalisation.
The chapters within this book shed light on a wide range of moral and political issues that have emerged over the past 150 years. By offering a broader perspective on the social condition of humanity, it provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of figurational process sociology, as well as those interested in sociology, social psychology, and social history more broadly.
In conclusion, Civilisation and Informalisation offers a timely and insightful exploration of the evolving standards of manners and emotion regulation in the West. It will be an important addition to the literature on these topics, and will contribute to our understanding of the complex dynamics shaping contemporary society.
