metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on the conceptualization of the sociology of suffering. The foreign experience
  of the development of the sociology of suffering in theoretical and applied aspects is
  considered. Modern researchers in understanding social suffering focus on psychological or
  anthropological interpretations, but the potential of the relevant branch of sociological knowledge
  is increasing over time. Meanwhile, the scientific problem is connected with two circumstances,
  which are reflected in this article. First, we are talking about the need to concretize
  the role of sociology in the study of the phenomenon of social suffering. Often the prevailing
  philosophical and psychological interpretations of suffering do not allow this to be done. In
  them, social suffering appears as an existential state of individuals or a phenomenon of their
  emotional and sensual tension and experience. However, in sociology, suffering needs to be
  objectified and considering it only as an existence cannot be productive for relevant sociological
  research. Secondly, modern studies of social suffering are mainly interdisciplinary in nature
  and do not reflect the special role of sociology in them. The article shows that the foreign
  sociology of suffering draws attention to a fairly wide range of phenomena associated with the
  emergence of social suffering. Here we mean the civilizational aspect, value-normative, sociocultural
  and others. The role of qualitative and quantitative methods in the study of social suffering
  is also assessed. Qualitative methods (for example, event analysis, intentional analysis,
  and others) allow us to present social suffering through the prism of object-subject relations.
  In this regard, some modern studies of social suffering are analyzed, which allow us to talk
  about the active development of the relevant branch of sociological knowledge.
