KRITIČKO RAZMATRANJE INTERPRETACIJA I UPOTREBE POJMA ALIJENACIJE U SOCIOLOŠKIM ISTRAŽIVANJIMA
A CRITICAL VIEW OF THE INTERPRETATIONS AND USE OF THE CONCEPT OF ALIENATION IN SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: The following conceptions are investigated and criticised; those of M. Seeman, M. Scott, G. Nettler, K. Keniston, etc. The main remarks briefly formulated are: 1) in the works criticised different theoretical conceptions and different notions of alienation are combined and their meanings confused; therefore, radically different contents are arbitrarily subsummed under the term “alienation”; 2) from this reason they are being eclectic, without the authors'clearly determined theoretical position the concept of alineation is incorrectly extracted from its original theoretical frame of reference, and particular dimensions, fitting the intended explanation, are arbitrarily chosen from different theoretical sources; 3) and this (i. e. nondefined theoretical position) has been excused by 'the authors’ “modest” intention for achieving an operationalization of the concept;
