Ignorance and Surprise
The relationship between ignorance and surprise and a conceptual framework for dealing with the unexpected, as seen in ecological design projects. Ignorance and surprise belong together: surprises can make people aware of their own ignorance. And yet, perhaps paradoxically, a surprising event in scientific research—one that defies prediction or risk assessment—is often a window to new and unexpected knowledge. In this book, Matthias Gross examines the relationship between ignorance and surprise, proposing a conceptual framework for handling the unexpected and offering case studies of ecological design that demonstrate the advantages of allowing for surprises and including ignorance in th...

Social conflict and the making of a globalized place at Roşia Montană
The book provides a theoretically informed case study on the transformation of the experience of place in the two decades old conflict over the Roșia Montană mine in Romania. First, the case study is set within a political economy approach of mining places before and during globalization. The second theoretical approach used to illuminate the transformations of place is anthropological and draws on Clifford Geertz’s (1979) distinction between experience-nearness and experience-distance. Both these theoretical strands are employed to explain transformations in the experience of place and the subsequent making of a globalized place. In contrast to the majority of social-scientific research...
Wissenschaftsforschung
Die Wissenschaftsforschung macht die Wissenschaft zum Gegenstand von Wissenschaft. Sie untersucht zum einen die Innenwelt der Wissenschaft, also die Produktion wissenschaftlichen Wissens, die Praxis der Forschung und ihre institutionellen Strukturen. Zum anderen interessiert sie sich für die Außenbeziehungen der Wissenschaft, ihre Prägung durch die gesellschaftliche Umwelt und ihre Effekte in verschiedenen Anwendungskontexten. Als interdisziplinäres Feld mit Wurzeln in der Wissenschaftsphilosophie, Wissenschaftsgeschichte und Wissenschaftssoziologie ist die Wissenschaftsforschung nicht leicht einzukreisen. Vor diesem Hintergrund versteht sich das vorliegende Lehrbuch als Wegweiser in ein...
