概要 Distinctions between occupations underlie all sociological attempts to explain the stratification of society and assess the process of social mobility. Coxon and Davies set out to determine how people...perceive and evaluate occupations and to discover whether the much vaunted consensus over existing schemes of occupational prestige stood up to empirical test. None of the assumptions and findings of the conventional accounts emerges from this investigation unscathed. The authors present a new approach to the description of social stratification and social mobility; one which is based on the actual judgements about occupations made by ordinary people. They contend that basic divisions in society can be discovered from people's accounts and that an analysis of the belief systems which underlie occupational judgements is both possible and illuminating. The consequences of this approach -- a synthesis between the insights of the positivist and ethnographic perspectives -- are considerable. Coxon and Davies outline the implications for sociological debates about stratification, status and class and for areas as diverse as job evaluation, personnel management and careers guidance. The book is based on the Edinburgh project on Occupational Cognition. The basic aims and findings of this project stimulated considerable controversy when they were published, in highly-technical form, in 1978-9. Images of Social Stratification will widen this debate by presenting the full results in a very readable and non-technical manner.
In Images of Social Stratification, Coxon and Davies investigate how people perceive and evaluate occupations. They challenge the validity of existing occupational hierarchies and propose a fundamentally new approach to the problem. This highly readable and non-technical book makes an important contribution to sociological debates about stratification, status and class and for areas as diverse as job evaluation, personnel management and careers guidance.
