le Play Society |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A society founded in England in 1930 to promote fieldwork and regional survey in sociology and geography. It was named after a nineteenth-century engineer, Frédéric le Play, who published accounts of the places he visited (e.g. Les ouvriers européen, 1855) and developed a schema (with strong environmental determinism overtones) of place-work-family to encapsulate the major features of local societies. The Society was disbanded in 1960, having organized 71 major field surveys and published eight monographs during its existence. (RJJ)
