English to Italian: Theodor Geiger General field: Law/Patents
Source text - English Social Stratification and Social mobility were included among Geiger's main interests and within these subfields, he made several contributions to sociology. His interest in social stratification began in the 1920s when he initially accepted the Marxist definition of class. However, Geiger quickly developed his own definition of class and several theories on the subject. In his 1930 publication (On the Theory of the Class Concept and the Proletarian Class), he distinguished his view from the Marxist concept that class structure is entirely determined by ownership of the means of production. Geiger argued that the Marxist ideology of class was a decent generalization but that it was also a "type concept" and described only a partial view of reality. Further, he felt that the Marxist Two-class model was an accurate description of the earliest forms of capitalism but that modern developments did not fulfill Marx's predictions of the polarization of classes and intensified class conflict. He believed society to be dynamic, so although he agreed with Marx, he believed that there are other causes and types of stratification other than those of the narrow Marxist definition and concept. Instead, he looked at the classes of society in terms of stages, with estate society preceding the class conflict of Geiger's present, and a new stage to come in which society will form into distinct, specific social groups. He also acknowledged income, level of education, and political power as new factors for stratification. Geiger developed a complex model and typology of social stratification, which was published in Wörterbuch der Soziologie (1955). In many ways, Geiger defended Marxism but he also agreed with arguments that many predictions made by Marxist class theory were not carried out.
Translation - Italian La stratificazione e la mobilità sociale erano tra gli interessi principali di Geiger e, all'interno di questi
sottodomini, egli offrì importanti contributi alla sociologia. Egli cominciò a interessarsi di stratificazione sociale negli anni Venti, quanto per la prima volta adottò la definizione marxista di classe. Tuttavia, Geiger formulò nel giro di poco una propria definizione del concetto di classe e varie teorie su questo argomento. Nel suo libro Zur Theorie des Klassenbegriffs und der proletarischen Klasse (1930; Sulla teoria del concetto di classe e la classe proletaria), si allontanò dalla teoria marxista secondo cui la struttura delle classi è determinata completamente dal possesso dei mezzi di produzione. Geiger sosteneva che l'ideologia marxista delle classi fosse una generalizzazione accettabile, ma anche che si trattava di un concetto tipo, descrivendola come visione solamente parziale della realtà. Inoltre, egli riteneva che il modello marxista a due classi fosse una descrizione accurata delle forme più primitive di capitalismo, ma che gli sviluppi dell'epoca moderna non corrispondessero alle previsioni di Marx sulla polarizzazione delle classi e l'intensificarsi del conflitto di classe. Era convinto che la società fosse dinamica, quindi, pur concordando con Marx, pensava che esistessero altre cause e altri tipi di stratificazione oltre a quelli definiti dai suoi rigidi concetti e definizioni. Vedeva le classi della società piuttosto all'interno di diverse fasi, secondo cui a una società dominata dai grandi proprietari terrieri si sarebbe succeduto il conflitto di classe esistente all'epoca di Geiger e successivamente vi sarebbe stata una nuova fase, durante la quale la società
si sarebbe divisa in gruppi sociali distinti e specifici. Egli inoltre riconosceva come nuovi fattori della stratificazione il reddito, il grado di istruzione e il potere politico. Geiger sviluppò un modello complesso comprendente una tipologia della stratificazione sociale, che fu pubblicato in Wörterbuch der Soziologie (1955). Sotto molti punti di vista, Geiger difendeva il marxismo, ma concordava anche con chi sosteneva che molte delle previsioni elaborate dalla teoria marxista di classe non si erano avverate.
