Work, Precarity and COVID-19
The anthology presents the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the field of work and gainful employment from a multidisciplinary perspective of social and economic sciences. Specifically, it deals with the analysis of changes in work processes and relations in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Different facets of the discussion are taken up, and the topic of "work, precarity and COVID-19" is discussed along a wide range of diversity categories (age, gender, disability, social origin, ethnicity, religion, etc.) and their intersections (intersectionality). At the same time, the focus is on discussing alternative models and ways of dealing with the current crisis that (re)establish social justice and inclusion through work. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
Care or Control of the Self? Norbert Elias, Michel Foucault, and the Subject in the 21st Century
The beginning of the 21st century is characterized by fundamental societal changes: in addition to changing demographics and the globalization of economic flows, the transformation of an industrial-Fordistic society to a non-industrial service society is significant. For more than twenty years, these large-scale trends and their inherent chances and risks have been the topic of vivid discussions in all the social sciences. Keywords are ‘risk-society’, ‘post-industrial society’, ‘knowledge-society’ and ‘information-society’. The implications of these developments are also reflected in the challenge to the traditional, hegemonic and rational understanding of subjectivity. Again...
Knowledge, Normativity and Power in Academia
Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists, and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
Das Leben Der Armen
Das vorliegende Buch besch ftigt sich mit der Frage, ob Arme eventuell eigenst ndige spezifische Lebensstile aufweisen, die sich von anderen Gesellschaftsgruppen unterscheiden. Im theoretischen Teil geht es um die Darstellung des Forschungsstandes in der Lebensstilsoziologie sowie der Armutsforschung. Zuerst wird die g ngige Klassen- und Schichtforschung dargestellt. Die Konzepte stellen die bekanntesten Modelle der Sozialstrukturanalyse bzw. Ungleichheitsforschung dar. Schichtmodelle konzentrieren sich auf die vertikale Dimension der sozialen Ungleichheit. Kritisch angemerkt wird, dass Berufsprestige, Einkommen und Bildung als ma gebende Indikatoren, die sich st ndig ver ndernden Lebensbedi...
Handbook of International Climate Finance
The concept of international climate finance channelled from developed to developing countries through public interventions for mitigation and adaptation has been developed over the last decade, but its roots date back to the early 1990s. Despite the high relevance of the topic in the international climate negotiations, illustrated by the (missed) target to mobilise USD 100 billion by 2020, there is no book that provides an overview accessible to academics and practitioners alike.
Smart Green World?
In this book, Steffen Lange and Tilman Santarius investigate how digitalization influences environmental and social sustainability. The information revolution is currently changing the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. At the same time, the current economic model and consumerist lifestyle needs to be radically transformed if society is to overcome the challenges humanity is facing on a finite planet. Can the much-discussed disruption potential of digitalization be harnessed for this purpose? Smart Green World? provides guiding principles for a sustainable digital society and develops numerous hands-on proposals for how digitalization can be shaped to become a driving force for soc...
Lebensstile der Armen
Inhaltsangabe:Inhaltsangabe: In den letzten 20 Jahren wurde innerhalb der soziologischen Forschung debattiert, mit welchen Konzepten soziale Ungleichheit am besten zu erfassen sei. Grob gesehen verlaufen die Diskussionsfronten zwischen Anhängern klassen- und schichttheoretischer Modelle sowie Befürwortern von Milieu- und Lebensstilkonzepten. Den theoretischen Überbau für die Milieu- und Lebensstilforschung bildet Ulrich Becks Risikogesellschaft. Beck beschreibt den sozialen Wandel als Fahrstuhl- Effekt , welcher die gesamte Gesellschaft eine Etage höher gefahren hat. Materieller Wohlstand, Bildung, Freizeit, Konsum und sozialstaatliche Absicherung nahmen zu, und dies galt nicht für ein...
Integrative Production Technology
This contributed volume contains the research results of the Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries”, funded by the German Research Society (DFG). The approach to the topic is genuinely interdisciplinary, covering insights from fields such as engineering, material sciences, economics and social sciences. The book contains coherent deterministic models for integrative product creation chains as well as harmonized cybernetic models of production systems. The content is structured into five sections: Integrative Production Technology, Individualized Production, Virtual Production Systems, Integrated Technologies, Self-Optimizing Production Systems and Collaboration Productivity.The target audience primarily comprises research experts and practitioners in the field of production engineering, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
Electron Microscopy of Model Systems
The volume covers the preparation and analysis of model systems for biological electron microscopy. The volume has chapters about prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic systems that are used as so-called model organisms in modern cell biology. These systems include the most popular systems, such as budding and fission yeast, the roundworm C. elegans, the fly Drosophila, zebrafish, mouse, and Arabidopsis, but also organisms that are less frequently used in cell biology, such as Chlamydomonas, Dictyostelium, Trypanosoma, faltworms, Axolotl and others. In addition, tissues and tissue culture systems are also covered. These systems are used for very diverse areas of cell biology, such as cell divisio...
