Historical sociology of industrialisation
- contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society)
- theory of tendency
- Three types of social structural change: division of labour, social stratification, social integration process of structural differentiation
![Page 3: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
If industrialisation is a process of differentiation, specialisation, fragmentation etc. how does the new social system hold together?
Durkheim, The Division of Labour in Society (1893)
Focuses precisely on the problem of social integration
![Page 4: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The process of division of labour undermines one kind of integration and replace it with a new, more complex one.
Past and present
How does the division of labour change solidarity?
![Page 5: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Structure of the book:
- Functional analysis- Causal analysis- Ideal type analysis (modelling)
Main theoretical interest: the functioning of collective conscience and collective representations. The dualism of human nature
![Page 6: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Solidarity, a social fact, cannot be observed directly.
D. uses the systems of law:
- Repressive law (penal)
- Restitutive law (civil, administrative…)
![Page 7: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This two systems of law reflect two kinds of solidarity:
- Mechanical, based on likeness. Dominance of “collective conscience”
Property, belief, and sentiments are held in common.
Religion
- Organic, space for personality expands. The rise of individuality, but also of
occupational interdependence.

D. is interested in logical connections rather than careful historical analysis
Book 3: divergence between his models and empirical reality: social conflict and fragmentation. Causes:
- inefficient division of labour
- anomic division of labour
- forced division of labour
![Page 9: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Durkheim’s findings:
- the role of labour anomie and class inequalities in the historical construction of industrialism
- Identification of a key-process in which societies become at once more differentiated and more complexly interdependent
![Page 10: SOC3070 - Lecture 3 Durkheim. Historical sociology of industrialisation - contrast of type (pre-industrial / industrial society) -theory of tendency -Three](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d155503460f949ea7e8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Problems:
- Anthropological and historical evidence
- Organic metaphors
- Evolutionary framework

How about Structure / Action?
D. is primarily interested in the relationship between the individual and society
Interplay between material and ideal (cultural) factors in explaining change in social organizations.
