...sociologists have been content to leave the succession of events in time to the historians some of whom as their part of the bargain have been prepared to relinquish the structural properties of social systems of the sociologists. But this kind of separation has no natural justification with the recovery of temporality as integral to social theory: history and sociology become methodologically indistinguishable. -Giddens (1979). Central Problems in Social Theory. Quoteed in The Rhythms of Society (Young and Schuller, ed), pg. 5
Besides this notes own merits, I tend to think that this is a shot in what seems to be a greater battle, one in which the various observational social sciences find more value in crossover than in separation. My work pulls in bits of sociology, psychology, organizational behavior, and occasionally anthropology.
