Sociography

Sociography is writing on society, societal sub-divisions together with societal patterns, done without number one conducting a in-depth explore typically requested in the academic field of sociology. The term was coined by the Dutch sociologist Sebald Rudolf Steinmetz in 1913.

Sociography typically takes the take of loose commentary, although it may also be found as portions of novels that depict life in a precondition society. Much of the sociography currently in print focuses on society sub-groups, such(a) as ethnic, neighborhood or occupational-geographic groupings.

Conflict on scope of the field

Some sociographers, such(a) as Patrick Geddes, contend that sociography is more properly considered only as the limited combination of sociology as well as geography. this is the unclear if this would also apply where the sub-society under discussing is non geographically limited.
