Así, los angeles corrosión del carácter estudia las consecuencias antropológicas de l. a. nueva organización del trabajo en el capitalismo de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX, El respeto es una reflexión sociológica sobre las instituciones de asistencia social, El artesano aborda el valor formativo y ethical del trabajo own y Juntos trata de los angeles participación y los angeles colaboración social. Este volumen, breve pero interesantísimo, incluye dos textos: El gueto judío de Venecia, nueva versión de un capítulo de su importante Carne y piedra, obra de 1994 en l. a. que el autor daba muestra de los angeles amplitud de sus conocimientos y de l. a. sutileza de su análisis sociológico, y El extranjero, una versión ampliada y revisada de un ensayo anterior sobre el exilio.

El estudio del gueto de Venecia a comienzos del siglo XVI muestra el lugar que en esa sociedad ocupaban y el trato de que eran objeto no sólo los extranjeros, sino determinados sectores sociales estigmatizados, como las prostitutas, pero especialmente los judíos. Y, a propósito de éstos, el texto analiza las consecuencias de l. a. segregación como rechazo y a los angeles vez estímulo para los angeles toma de conciencia colectiva de pertenencia a una comunidad cultural. El segundo ensayo se ocupa de las tribulaciones del intelectual ruso Aleksandr Herzen, emigrado de su país en 1924, en su ruta por distintos países de Europa, y de sus dificultades para encontrar una identidad nacional. Aquí es interesante los angeles referencia de Sennett al nuevo concepto de nación en los angeles Europa de mediados del siglo XIX y el cambio en l. a. naturaleza política de l. a. suggestion de nación, que aludía de manera primordial a l. a. ciudadanía, por una naturaleza de tipo antropológico, que alude más a los angeles fusión del individuo con el conjunto de creencias, tradiciones y hábitos lingüísticos y culturales de un pueblo.
