Although Bernstein had a particular interest in education, he did not see himself as a sociologist of education alone. By exploring Bernstein's intellectually collaborative character and the evolving system of ideas, drawing upon anthropology and linguistics, the originality of Bernstein's contribution to the social sciences can be truly identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Moore's text offers a provocative and challenging account both of Bernstein, and of British sociology and education, approaching Bernstein's work as a complex model of intertwining ideas rather than a single theory. Continued interest in Bernstein's work has opened up a world-wide network of scholarship, and Moore considers contemporary research alongside classical sources in Durkheim and Marx, to provide a historical analysis of the fields of British Sociology and the sociology of education, pinpointing Bernstein's position within them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is organised into two main parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Field\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBackground and Beginnings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDurkheim, Cosmology and Education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Problematic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Structure of Pedagogic Discourse\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eBernstein and Theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eBernstein and research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Pedagogic Device\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by a leading authority in the field, this text will be valuable reading for post-graduate students of sociology and education, along with active researchers and their research students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415577039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415577038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Rob Moore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064935198975,"sku":"9780415577038","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe69abed-6b78-4197-9b84-36490acc280d.jpg?v=1768672026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/basil-bernstein-rob-moore-9780415577038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
