»... daß die offizielle Soziologie versagt hat«: Zur Soziologie im Nationalsozialismus, der Geschichte ihrer Aufarbeitung und der Rolle der DGS (Jahrbuch für Soziologiegeschichte)
by Silke van Dyk Alexandra SchauerObwohl nach drei Jahrzehnten des kollektiven Beschweigens seit den 1980er Jahren einige verdienstvolle Arbeiten zur soziologischen Fachgeschichte im Dritten Reich erschienen sind, haben diese nur vereinzelt und in Ausnahmesituationen Eingang ins Herz der Disziplin gefunden. Lange Zeit hat sich so der Mythos von der weißen Weste der Soziologie und der strukturellen Unvereinbarkeit von Soziologie und Nationalsozialismus gehalten. Diesen Mythos zu brechen ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Publikation, die die umfassenden vorhandenen Erkenntnisse zur Geschichte des Faches im Nationalsozialismus einer größeren LeserInnenschaft zugänglich machen möchte. Darüber hinaus wird in bislang nicht geschehener Weise die Bedeutung des Jenaer Soziologentreffens von 1934 für die Entwicklung der Soziologie im Nationalsozialismus und die Stilllegung der DGS herausgearbeitet und abschließend eine ebenso komprimierte wie umfassende Chronologie der Aufarbeitung von 1946 bis heute präsentiert.
1-800-Worlds: The Making of the Indian Call Centre Economy
by Mathangi KrishnamurthyIndian call centre employees work through the night, sleep during the day, and listen to foreign voices in accented tongues over transnational telephone connections. Through a description of the nightly and daily lives of call centre workers in the university town of Pune, India, 1–800–Worlds engages with the complex negotiations that underlie the ostensible success of new service economies. As the author shows, the call centre industry is neither insular nor singular but offers a set of symptoms that can help read changing forms of urban Indian middle-classness.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Bewegung (10 Minuten Soziologie #3)
by Ute Samland Anna HenkelDer bewegte Körper, das mobile Kapital, die innovative Idee, die wandelbare Zukunft - Bewegung ist allgegenwärtig. In der modernen Gesellschaft bildet Bewegung nicht nur einen Gegenpol zu Stillstand oder Immobilität, sondern entfaltet eine ganz eigene Dynamik, sozial, kulturell und materiell Gesellschaft zu formen. Die Beiträge des Bandes beobachten »Bewegung« aus verschiedenen soziologischen Perspektiven und anhand unterschiedlicher Fallbeispiele - von der Automobilität über die physische Bewegung von Kindern bis hin zu sozialen Innovationen. Die Vielfalt des soziologisch aufgespannten Horizonts regt an zur Beweglichkeit - im Nachdenken über »Bewegung«.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Fakten (10 Minuten Soziologie #2)
by Gianna Behrendt Anna HenkelAusgerechnet als alternative facts gerieten »Fakten« in eine breitere Diskussion. Doch statt Fakten als alternativ - oder alternativlos - zu postulieren, lohnt sich der soziologische Blick: Wie kommen Fakten überhaupt zustande, welche soziale und politische Rolle spielen sie und welche Schlüsse können aus der Betrachtung von Fakten gezogen werden? Gerade zum Thema »Fakten« entfaltet die Soziologie ihr Erklärungspotenzial, indem sie aus der Vielfalt der Gegenstände und theoretischen Perspektiven heraus eine differenziertere Sicht gewährt auf das, was wie zum Faktum wird. Der Band behandelt so nicht nur das »Postfaktische« als Zeitgeistphänomen, sondern grundsätzlicher die Frage nach der Sozialität des Faktischen.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Land (10 Minuten Soziologie #9)
by Holli Gruber Laura Scheler Anna HenkelLändliche Räume sind im Umbruch: Digitalisierung, Agrarwandel und Energiewende verändern Landschaften, Alltagspraktiken und Zukunftsvorstellungen auch jenseits der Städte. Trotzdem erfährt das Land im Vergleich zur Stadt von der Soziologie noch immer zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen sich diesem Desiderat an und liefern kompakt und verständlich wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zur ländlichen Transformation. Aus verschiedenen soziologischen Perspektiven betrachten sie u.a. Aspekte wie Digital Farming, Migrationsethik, Mobilität in peripheren Regionen oder die Ästhetik von Landschaften - und geben so Impulse für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung ländlicher Regionen.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Materialität (10 Minuten Soziologie #1)
by Anna HenkelMaterialität gewinnt in der Soziologie seit den 1980er Jahren neue Aufmerksamkeit - thematisch wie theoretisch. Dinge, Artefakte, Stoffe und Texturen werden auf ihr Verwobensein mit dem Sozialen hin untersucht. Bestehende soziologische Theorien entwickeln Möglichkeiten der konzeptionellen Integration von Materialität; zugleich entstehen neuartige, mehr oder weniger sich als soziologisch verstehende Theorieansätze von der Praxistheorie bis hin zur Actor-Network Theory und dem Critical Realism. Der Band leistet eine Einführung in soziologisches Denken von Materialität. Die einzelnen Beiträge thematisieren unterschiedliche empirische Themen - vom Naturjoghurt bis zum Weltraum, von der Plastiktüte bis zum wissenschaftlichen Vortrag - und sie beziehen sich dabei auf ebenso unterschiedliche soziologische Theorie-Perspektiven.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Nachhaltigkeit (10 Minuten Soziologie #4)
by Thomas Barth Anna HenkelDas Leitbild »Nachhaltigkeit« wirkt in nahezu alle gesellschaftlichen Felder hinein. Es prägt politische, ökonomische und wissenschaftliche Debatten ebenso wie Praktiken der Einzelnen und die Prozesse strukturellen Wandels. Der Begriff ist allgemein positiv besetzt - wird allerdings sehr verschieden verstanden, teils auch instrumentalisiert. Die Beiträge des Bandes versuchen Klarheit zu schaffen und befragen das Thema Nachhaltigkeit aus einer Vielzahl soziologischer Perspektiven: Welche sozialen Dynamiken sind mit Nachhaltigkeit verbunden und welche Diskurse? Sie thematisieren u.a. Mobilität, Arbeit, Religion und Zukunft und nehmen dabei unterschiedliche soziologische Theorien zum Ausgangspunkt. Mit Beiträgen von Frank Adloff, Thomas Barth, Katharina Block, Stefan Böschen, Nikolaus Buschmann, Sascha Dickel, Benjamin Görgen, Anna Henkel, Fabian Huber, Marc C. Hübscher, Jens Köhrsen, Sighard Neckel, Angela Pohlmann, Jedrzej Sulmowski und Björn Wendt.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Verantwortung (10 Minuten Soziologie #5)
by Anna HenkelDer Begriff der Verantwortung ist in aller Munde: Verantwortung des Konsumierenden für Nachhaltigkeit, Verantwortung von Unternehmen im internationalen Kontext, gesellschaftliche Verantwortung angesichts neuer Technologien. Jedoch ist sie alles andere als selbstverständlich - so erreicht der Begriff erst im 20. Jahrhundert den alltäglichen Sprachgebrauch. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes nehmen daher beispielhaft die Verantwortung von Wissenschaft, Politik und Konsumierenden in den Blick und zeigen aus soziologischer und interdisziplinärer Perspektive auf, wie sie mit Macht, Kultur und Moral zusammenhängt. Dabei wird auch der Verantwortungsbegriff selbst verhandelt.

The 10-Second Commute: New Realities of Virtual Work
by Terri R. Kurtzberg Mason AmeriVirtual work, which was steadily on the rise even before the pandemic, is explored in this timely book that describes the impact of technology on our work experiences, ranging from the individual psychological level to the broad societal implications.Widespread remote work is now possible, but it comes with its share of frustrations. Virtual work has changed our lives in ways big and small, from trying to balance our time to what we wear and where we sit and from how we communicate to where we should look during a videoconference. It's also fundamentally changed what kinds of jobs we can now do.Grounded in research and including lively personal anecdotes, The 10-Second Commute provides a thoughtful and comprehensive scan of the nature of virtual work. The authors, both researchers in management and technology, explore the current questions of our virtual lives, such as: Why Zoom instead of Skype? Why are emojis so useful?

Virtual work is more than just work-it permeates our whole lives, and it will continue to do so as hybrid work arrangements become the new normal. Helping readers better understand the virtual work experience, this book will engage and inform everyone who is still trying to make it work.

100 Effective Techniques of Social Influence: When and Why People Comply
by Dariusz Dolinski Tomasz Grzyb100 Effective Techniques of Social Influence provides a revolutionary look into the effectiveness of many techniques of social influence, providing an overview of the ways in which people use techniques to persuade others to meet various requests, suggestions, and commands. For each technique, the authors explore the idea behind it, what empirical research says about it, and what the psychological mechanism behind its effectiveness is, aka, why it works. The techniques included span across multiple areas in people’s everyday lives, ranging from business negotiations, managements, marketing, and close relationships, to people’s behavior in public as well as in their private sphere. Covering research from the 1970s to the present day, the book describes techniques of social influence with the purpose of provoking certain behaviors, such as convincing an individual to donate to a charity or purchase a certain product. By exclusively focusing on techniques influencing human behaviors, rather than beliefs, biases, or emotions, the authors show how humans can be reliably convinced to behave in a certain way in a huge range of situations and contexts. Rather than being based on anecdotal evidence or legends of famous people, the authors have only included techniques that have been proven to be effective through scientific research. With each technique described in an engaging manner, this is ideal reading for students and academics in fields such as social psychology, leadership, marketing, sociology, management, and communication. It will also appeal to professionals who need to influence others, and any readers who desire a better and more contemporary understanding of how people interact and influence others on a daily basis.
