      Soziologiegeschichte

      Wege und Ziele

      by Stephan Moebius, Christian Dayé

      Warum beschäftigen sich Soziologinnen und Soziologen mit der Geschichte ihres eigenen Faches? Ist eine Disziplingeschichte bloß akademischer Tand oder benötigt die Gesellschaft tatsächlich eine Geschichte ihrer professionellen Selbstreflexion und Selbstbeobachtung? Und: Wie kann Soziologiegeschichte in einer Weise betrieben werden, die die Existenz des Fachs in einem über die akademische curiositas hinausgehenden Rahmen rechtfertigt? Diesen Fragen gehen namhafte Soziologiehistorikerinnen und -historiker wie Andrew Abbott, Randall Collins, Dirk Kaesler, Donald N. Levine, Jennifer Platt, Karl-Siegbert Rehberg u. a. in diesem Band nach, der in seiner Verbindung von klassischen und neueren Texten als Einführung in die Soziologiegeschichte dienen kann.

      Poststrukturalistische Sozialwissenschaften

      by Stephan Moebius, Andreas Reckwitz

      Wie verändern sich die tradierten Konzepte und Forschungsperspektiven der Sozialwissenschaften durch eine Verarbeitung des Poststrukturalismus, der von Theoretikern wie Foucault und Derrida vorangetrieben wurde? Ausgehend von dieser Frage, skizziert der Band in einer Kombination von programmatischem Überblick und einem Lexikon zentraler Begriffe eine poststrukturalistische Neukonfiguration des Panoramas der für die Sozialwissenschaften grundlegenden Forschungsfelder. ›Handeln‹ und ›Moderne‹, ›Ökonomie‹ und ›Wissenschaft‹ sind dabei nur einige der Stichworte, an denen gezeigt wird, daß der Poststrukturalismus nicht auf eine spezialisierte Nische beschränkt ist, sondern eine breite, eigenständige sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Analytik liefert.

      Hubo fiestas

      by Álvaro Luquín

      Salir a buscar la fiesta es salir a buscar ciertos olores, ciertos tipos de cicatrices. Las fiestas son el terreno de lo impredecible, ese lugar al que vas con la esperanza de que pase algo: un trago, un beso, un toque, una línea, una pelea. Entrar es un acto de fe, un salto al vacío, hacer fila para electrocutarse. Una fiesta encierra la posibilidad de mitificar al mundo, de crear nuevos códigos, inestables y volátiles, sí, pero válidos durante el periodo histórico en que la fiesta ocurre. Cuando todo termina, lo que se queda contigo es el sonido vacío de los envases de cerveza, el olor a vómito, el dolor de cabeza, la aplastante sensación de que el espectáculo debe continuar.
