      abstract = {"The book⁰́b9s original contribution to contemporary  conceptual history ⁰́b3 particularly in the field of  political and sociological intellectual histories ⁰́b3  consists of mapping of the concept of articulation as an  Ariadne⁰́b9s thread that can shed light on  conceptualisations of society and their shifts. As the  author of the book rightly emphasizes, the metaphors that  theorists use to describe society are not only words but  concrete attempts to grasp the social as well as normative  approaches that indicate how to best organize it. That is,  societal metaphors are not neutral. The topic is of  enormous importance for sociological and political analysts  in particular". ⁰́b4 Dr Sara R. Farris, Associate  Professor, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths College,  University of London This open access book is the first  book that attempts to treat the notion of articulation as  an important concept to be added to the lexicon of  communication studies and social science. It constitutes  the first comprehensive and systematic discussion of  ⁰́b8articulation⁰́b9 in English, providing an introduction  of its usages and what has occurred on its ⁰́b8travels⁰́b9  from one theoretical realm to another in political  philosophy, structural linguistics, new economic  anthropology, cultural studies and post-Marxist discourse  theory. The proposed research takes a relational approach  to society and social action in a way that recognises their  relative autonomy. It entails an introduction of the  ⁰́b8discursive turn⁰́b9 in the imagery of society and  social change, thereby proving that the relational concept  of articulation/Gliederung has potential to consider  society as both a structured, complex whole and a product  of human interaction.
