Социология

Die Auseinandersetzung mit „Macht“ ist in der Sozialen Arbeit ein unumgängliches Thema. Denn Soziale Arbeit übt in ihren Interaktionen Macht aus, ihrer Klientel gegenüber und der Gesellschaft gegenüber, sie reflektiert sich als Praxis kritisch in Fragen der Macht und sie sieht sich selbst politisch von Machtverhältnissen umgeben.

Does Europe have an inequality problem? Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many Europeans are certainly struggling. The rise of populist movements is another signal that something is awry. Many Europeans no longer see their economy as fair. But is this a problem of too much inequality, or just a problem of ideology? Is inequality even a bad thing? We need to consider the statistics on economic inequality, but also look beyond towards the lived experience of trying to make ends meet. We need to consider...

Most American college campuses are home to a vibrant drinking scene where students frequently get wasted, train-wrecked, obliterated, hammered, destroyed, and decimated. The terms that university students most commonly use to describe severe alcohol intoxication share a common theme: destruction, and even after repeated embarrassing, physically unpleasant, and even violent drinking episodes, students continue to go out drinking together. In Getting Wasted, Thomas Vander Ven provides a unique...

For over a century, America's nutrition authorities have heralded milk as «nature's perfect food,» as «indispensable» and «the most complete food.» These milk «boosters» have ranged from consumer activists, to government nutritionists, to the American Dairy Council and its ubiquitous milk moustache ads. The image of milk as wholesome and body-building has a long history, but is it accurate? Recently, within the newest social movements around food, milk has lost favor. Vegan anti-milk...

Behind the scenes, however, the community is deeply involved in the formation of different kinds of blackness—and its engagement in racial politics is rooted in the major new cultural movement of...

Was ist Gesellschaft? Sie ist unser Raum und unsere Zeit, ihr gehören wir untrennbar an und stehen doch auch immer außerhalb von ihr. Ihre hierarchische Ordnung und ihr Gedächtnis spiegeln sich in den unvermeidbaren Konflikten, die in Wirtschaft und Politik besonders weitreichend sind.

Zwei Brennpunkte dieser Debatte sind die Fragen nach der Gestaltung der Globalisierung und der...
