Studies in History, Social Theory, and Progressive Politics

This volume examines the roots of pragmatist imagination and traces the influence of American pragmatism in diverse areas of politics, law, sociology, political science, and transitional studies. The work explores the interfaces between the Progressive movement in politics and American pragmatism. Shalin shows how early 20th century progressivism influenced pragmatism's philosophical agenda and how pragmatists helped articulate a theory of progressive reform. The work addresses pragmatism and interactionist sociology and illuminates the cross-fertilization between these two fields of studies. Special emphasis is placed on the interactionists' search for a logic of inquiry sensitive to the objective indeterminacy of the situation. The challenge that contemporary interactionist studies face is to illuminate the issues of power and inequality central to the political commitments of pragmatist philosophers. Shalin explores the vital link between democracy, civility, and affect. His central thesis is that democracy is an embodied process that binds affectively as well as rhetorically and that flourishes in places where civic discourse is an end in itself, a source of vitality and social creativity sustaining a democratic community. The author shows why civic discourse is hobbled by the civic body that has been misshapen by past abuses. Drawing on the studies of the civilizing process, Shalin speculates about the emotion, demeanor, and body language of democracy and explores from this angle the prospects for democratic transformation in countries struggling to shake their totalitarian past.

Ein Sammelwerk Leopold von Wiese zum 75. Geburtstag

Dieser Band, der Leopold von Wiese zu seinem 75. Geburtstage auf den Gabentisch gelegt wird, möchte an eine alte Tradition anknüpfen, nämlich eine "Festschrift" zu einem Sammelwerke zu gestalten, dem eine bestimmte Thematik zugrunde liegt; er möchte nicht den heute oft beschrittenen Weg gehen, einzelne Beiträge zu einem Werk zu vereinigen, deren innerer Zusammenhang meistens nur ein sehr lockerer ist. Gewiß: ein solches Vorgehen wäre in unserem Falle mehr als gerechtfertigt gewesen; denn die Forschungsarbeit wie auch die Lehrtätigkeit Leopold von Wieses erstrecken sich über eine Vielzahl von Wissenschaftsbereichen und -disziplinen. Wenn nun hier eine Beschränkung auf die soziologische Wissenschaft geübt wurde, so waren dafür zwei Gründe maßgebend: einmal nimmt die Soziologie im Schaffen des zu Ehrenden wohl den breitesten Platz ein; zum anderen reizte es, gerade auf diesem Gebiete eine Art Bestandsaufnahme zu veran stalten, d. h. aufzuzeigen, wo wir heute stehen, was erforscht wird und mit welchen Methoden man arbeitet: in der allgemeinen Soziologie und auch in ihren Unter- und Nachbardisziplinen. Bei den letztgenannten kommt nun ein wenig von der Vielseitigkeit der Arbeit Leopold von Wieses zum Vorschein: neben der Soziologie kommen in dieser Schrift auch - freilich nur in einem Beitrage jeweils - die Kulturphilosophie, die Anthro pologie, die Nationalökonomie, die Wissenschaft von der Politik und die Sozialpolitik zu Worte. Den Stand der soziologischen Forschung in der heutigen Zeit umreißen zu wollen, muß in der auch im Bereich der Wissenschaft so schnellebigen Zeit vermessen erscheinen.

"AIDS has made a huge impact on our society medically, socially, politically, legally, and psychologically. Sarah Watstein encapsulates this interdisciplinary issue into approximately 4,000 terms and explains them objectively, clearly, and readably for high school students, adults, and medical professionals. The terms include related diseases such as Kaposi's Sarcoma, treatments such as interleukin, jargon-"no code"- and slang-"bareback sex." The appendixes list statistics, toll-free telephone numbers, Web sites, nonprofit and government organizations, clinical trials, databases, and payment assistance programs. Highly recommended for all libraries."--"Outstanding Reference Sources: the 1999 Selection of New Titles," American Libraries, May 1999. Comp. by the Reference Sources Committee, RUSA, ALA.

Der Klassiker über den qualitativen Forschungsansatz der "Grounded Theory", geschrieben von den Entwicklern dieser Methode "Obwohl unser Buch sich in erster Linie an Soziologen richtet, glauben wir, dass es jedem nutzen kann, der daran interessiert ist, soziale Phänomene zu untersuchen politischer, pädagogischer, wirtschaftlicher, industrieller oder welcher Art auch immer." In der Tat ist "Grounded Theory" quer durch die wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen zum Standardbegriff der qualitativen Sozialforschung ge - worden. Die inzwischen zum Klassiker avancierte Arbeit von Glaser und Strauss eröffnet eine lehrbare und auch lernbare Forschungsstrategie. Das Konzept bietet eine Antwort auf das Problem, die oft schmerzlich empfundene Lücke zwischen empirischer Forschung und Theorie zu schliessen.
