In den letzten zehn Jahren sind die Mieten und die Kaufpreise für Wohneigentum rasant gestiegen und führen zunehmend zu gesellschaftlicher Unzufriedenheit und politischem Druck. Trotz alledem war die Wohnungspolitik über Jahre hinweg ein eher vernachlässigtes Themenfeld. Die Wohnungsversorgung und die Wohnungspolitik sind hochkomplex, da sie einerseits im föderalen Zusammenspiel über alle drei Ebenen organisiert werden müssen und da andererseits in jeder Stadt eine etwas andere Markt-,...

Denken und Handeln von Individuen und Gesellschaften werden zunehmend von ökonomischen Überlegungen geleitet. Was ist uns die Rettung der Umwelt wert? Wie viel kosten unsere Kinder? Wie viel geben wir für medizinische Behandlungen aus? Die Ökonomisierung treibt seltsame Blüten und stellt die Menschheit schon heute vor enorme Probleme. Gut verständlich beschreiben Expertinnen und Experten unterschiedlicher Disziplinen das Phänomen aus ihrer jeweiligen Fachrichtung. Dabei zeigt sich: Nicht die...

Como una extensión humana de poderosas dimensiones, los medios de difusión fueron y muy probablemente seguirán siendo usados como antesala del abuso y el linchamiento. Tal como ocurre en las calles de las metrópolis, en las plazoletas de algunos pueblos y en las redes sociodigitales, previamente se interviene a la persona deformándola, arrebatando sus vestiduras para colocarle otras y despojándole de toda su complejidad con teclado y cámara en mano. Este trabajo pretende explorar algunos de...

Parafraseando las palabras del inmenso filósofo español, José Ortega y Gasset, en Venezuela, 'el tema de nuestro tiempo' consiste en cerrar definitivamente el ciclo generacional inaugurado en 1928, aupando y apoyando a una nueva generación que esté dispuesta a superar el nefasto 'puntofijismo' y llevar a cabo su tarea histórica de cambio y transformación radical. Y en esa tarea, el socialismo no es una opción. Varias son las amenazas interpuestas en ese camino hacia el...

Una obra capital, una referència ineludible per al moviment feminista Tot va començar amb Problemes de gènere, que ha esdevingut una obra capital per al moviment feminista.

Modern society emerged in the context of European colonialism and empire. So, too, did a distinctively modern social theory, laying the basis for most social theorising ever since. Yet colonialism and empire are absent from the conceptual understandings of modern society, which are organised instead around ideas of nation state and capitalist economy. Gurminder K. Bhambra and John Holmwood address this absence by examining the role of colonialism in the development of modern society and the...

La política escocesa i l'evolució de l'SNP han esdevingut molt familiars als ulls de qualsevol observador avesat al debat polític del catalanisme.

La lluita política de l'SNP és germana de la que han dut a terme organitzacions diverses al nostre país des del segle XIX, centrades en...

George Herbert Mead taught philosophy and social psychology at the University of Chicago for almost 40 years (from 1894 until his death in 1931). During those years he published many articles and book reviews, but not a single book that contains his theories. After his death, some of his former students published his theories in four volumes. The most important volume is called 'Mind, Self & Society' and was edited by Charles W. Morris (1934). This e-book contains the text corpus...

Surrogate motherhood is expanding all over the world. Debates rage over how public policy should consider the signing away of the parental rights of birth mothers in favor of a 'commissioning' couple or an individual. In this book, Daniela Danna describes the situation in English-speaking countries and worldwide, from California to Greece, presenting the legal alternatives regulating (or not) these peculiar exchanges. Should surrogacy remain a private agreement? Should it be...

At the beginning of the new millennium, the social sciences discover an epochal “turn” making it necessary to revolutionize their theory-building: As a response to what they call the globalization of the social, they find the need to globalize their theorizing as well. It is odd to discover after two centuries of colonialism and imperialism, after two world wars and several economic world crises that there is a world beyond the national socials; it is even more strange that the social...

In the past, the European social sciences labelled and discredited knowledge that did not follow the definition for scientific knowledge as applied by the European social sciences as an alternative concept of knowledge, as “indigenous” knowledge. Perception has changed with time: Not only has indigenous knowledge become an entrance ticket to the European social science world, but the indigenization of European theories is seen by some as the contribution of “peripheral” social sciences to join...

Nachdem Max Weber in seinem wirkungsgeschichtlichen Hauptwerk 'Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus' nachgewiesen hatte, dass der moderne Kapitalismus stärker im protestantischen als katholischen Glauben wurzelt, widmete er sich in seinen im Jahre 1916 erschienenen Artikeln der Frage, warum nicht in China zuerst ein moderner Kapitalismus entstanden ist. Das Werk wird bis heute sowohl im Westen als auch in China kontrovers diskutiert. Das vorliegende E-Book enthält...

How far have universities in post-Communist states adopted the practices and habits of their branded and consumer-oriented equivalents in the English-speaking world? While not assuming that university education in those states reflects in any mechanistic way the regulated, business-led system long established in places like the US, and now being dramatically realized in countries like Britain, this edited collection identifies some marked shifts in the direction of what might best be described...

Global, local, glocal – reflecting on the area of world social science seems to be above all a matter of space. In these spatial dichotomies the global has no location and locations seem beyond this world. Discourses about world social science thought not only distinguish social thought along spaces where they are created. Space has become an attribute of thinking when social scientists reflect on the world of social thought: Southern, Western and Northern knowledge, the location in which...

In 'The Principles of Sociology' Spencer rejected the sociology of Auguste Comte's positivism and made some valuable contributions to early sociology, attempting to reformulate social science in terms of evolutionary biology. A 'social organism' evolved from the simpler state to the more complex according to the universal law of evolution. Spencer's theories of laissez-faire, survival-of-the-fittest and minimal human interference in the processes of natural law had...

Antiziganism is a widespread phenomenon in all European societies. Poor or rich, 'postcommunist' or 'traditional', North or South, with 'lean' or 'thick' welfare systems – all European societies demonstrate antiziganist prejudice. All across Europe Romanis are among the poorest, most destitute, and most excluded communities. Widespread prejudice and stereotypical representations of Romani individuals limit their chances for participation in democratic...
