Status and Sacredness
Status and Sacredness provides a new theory of status and sacral relationships and a provocative reinterpretation of the Indian caste system and Hinduism. Milner shows how in India and many other social contexts status is a key resource, and that sacredness can be usefully understood as a special form of status. By analyzing the nature of this resource Milner is able to provide powerful explanations of the key features of the social structure, culture, and religion. He argues against the widely held view that the Indian caste system is best understood as a unique cultural development, demonstrating that many of the seemingly exotic features are variations on themes common to other societies. Milner's analysis is rooted in a new theoretical framework called "resource structuralism" that helps to clarify the nature and significance of power and symbolic capital. The book thus provides a bold new analysis of India, an innovative approach to the analysis of religion, and an important contribution to social theory.

And in the wake of their transitions, what could have been a push toward equality became instead, through a confluence of bureaucracy, war, and sheer happenstance, the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes. In The ...
Soziologie und Politik
Die vorliegende Untersuchung zur Soziologie im Dritten Reich und in der frühen Nachkriegszeit lässt sich von der Beobachtung leiten, dass die Interdependenz zwischen der außeruniversitären Professionalisierung der Soziologie und ihrer akademischen Institutionalisierung ein grundlegendes Prinzip ihrer Entstehung und Weiterentwicklung darstellt. Erweitert wird diese Grundannahme durch das Modell der „rekursiven Kopplung“, das heißt der Wechselwirkung zwischen der Verwissenschaftlichung der Politik und der Politisierung der Wissenschaft. Diese und andere Ansätze werden im Kontext nationalsozialistischer Politikfelder am Beispiel der soziologischen Ost- und Westforschung, der Agrarsozi...
