This handbook on relational sociology covers a rapidly growing
approach in the social sciences―one which is connected to the
interests of a large, diverse pool of researchers across a range
of disciplines. Relational sociology has been one of the key
foundations of the “relational turn” in human sciences since the
1980s, and it offers a unique opportunity to redefine the basic
epistemological and ontological principles of sociology as we
know it. The contributors collected here aim to elucidate the
complexity and the scope of this growing approach by dealing with
three central questions: Where does relational sociology come
from and what are its principal concerns? What are the main
theoretical and methodological currents within relational
sociology? What have we studied in relational sociology and what
are the results?
