Imagining the political / The politics of imagination - The Sociological Review 100th Anniversary Conference 1st 3rd June 2009 Call for Papers The political and its relation to sociology is a source of profound debate, with ideas about politics setting up both possibilities and limits for sociological knowledge. If class has long counted, along with resistance and activism, writings on religion, the body and gender are already imagining the political in novel ways. And in opening up everyday life to issues of power and technology, the political comes centre stage.
