This book aims to understand the passage from one social class to another and to forge a method of approaching these particular cases. It analyzes the political, economic, social, familial, and singular causes that contribute to non-reproduction and their effects on the constitution of individuals transiting from one class to another. Chantal Jaquet identifies class locations, the interplay of affects and encounters, and the role of sexual and racial differences. She invites us to break out of disciplinary isolation to grasp singularity at the crossroads of philosophy, sociology, psychology, and literature. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 May 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSocial reproduction is not an unbreakable rule, as it allows for exceptions that must be taken into account when measuring its scope. This book seeks to understand the process of transitioning from one social class to another and develop a method for addressing these unique cases that remain a blind spot in social reproduction theory. It analyzes the political, economic, social, familial, and individual factors that contribute to non-reproduction and their impact on individuals moving between classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the intersection of collective history and personal experience, Chantal Jaquet explores class locations, the interplay of affects and encounters, and the role of sexual and racial differences. She encourages us to transcend disciplinary boundaries to comprehend singularity at the crossroads of philosophy, sociology, psychology, and literature. This necessitates a deconstruction of traditional notions of social and personal identity, in favor of concepts such as complexion and the complex determinations that shape our lives. Through the lens of the transclass, this book sheds light on the entirety of human existence in a fresh and illuminating way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 210 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781839768859\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chantal Jaquet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44270933508346,"sku":"9781839768859","price":15.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1685702193398_book.jpg?v=1686154157","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/transclasses-a-theory-of-social-nonreproduction-9781839768859","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
