The Order of Rituals
In The Order of Rituals, Hans-Georg Soeffner aims to answer the question: Through what efforts of order and orientation are loosely organized societies like ours held together? Soeffner focuses on symbolic forms of self-presentation that bring focus and clarity to our lives, such as emblems, fashions, styles, and symbols.
Hans-Georg Soeffner
er Band porträtiert Hans-Georg Soeffner als einen der führenden Vertreter der Generation von Soziologen, die seit den 1970er-Jahren die deutschsprachige Soziologie prägen, indem sie die kultur- und wissenssoziologische Tradition erneuerten und mit neuen qualitativen Verfahren der empirischen Sozialforschung verbanden. Soeffner gilt als Begründer der Hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie, die er programmatisch ausgearbeitet und in der Sozialwissenschaftlichen Hermeneutik methodisch ausformuliert hat. Daneben hat er auch wesentliche Beiträge zur Gesellschaftstheorie und Zeitdiagnose formuliert sowie zum Verständnis des zentralen Motivs der Moderne: der Individualität. Dariuš Zifonun diskut...

Hermeneutik als Lebenspraxis
Long description: Hans-Georg Soeffner verkörpert, repräsentiert und lehrt zugleich anhaltend das Verstehen des Verstehens als menschenmögliche und mithin kulturwirkliche Lebenspraxis. Sein Vorschlag, die eigene Lebenspraxis stets mit zu bedenken, ist der "Baldachin", der die Beiträge dieses anlässlich seines 75. Geburtstags erscheinenden Bandes überwölbt. Verstehen ist unabdingbarer Teil der Lebenspraxis. Die Lebenspraxis ist aber auch - aktueller ebenso wie geronnener und in gewisser Weise sogar entworfener - Vollzug von Verstehensleistungen. Hermeneutik ist die Auslegung der Lebenspraxis als interpretativem Vollzug. Hermeneutik ist aber auch eine Form des praktischen Lebensvollzugs, in deren Rahmen das Interpretierte ebenso zu bedenken ist wie das Interpretieren. Hans-Georg Soeffner verkörpert, repräsentiert und lehrt zugleich anhaltend diese Form menschenmöglicher und mithin kulturwirklicher Lebenspraxis. Sein Vorschlag, die eigene Lebenspraxis stets mit zu bedenken ist der "Baldachin", der die Beiträge dieses anlässlich seines 75. Geburtstags erscheinenden Bandes überwölbt.
The Designed Myth
Utopian thinking and utopian designs ostensibly represent a belief in human progress. The starting point of utopias is almost always a bad present that is to be overcome. But in the 20th and 21st centuries, doubts are growing about a plannable future designed by enlightened reason, about the project of modernity. Utopias are answered by dystopias. This makes it clear: the basic motif of utopian thinking is the fear of an uncontrollable future, a fear that could perhaps be overcome by the principle of hope (Ernst Bloch), an amiable illusion. The Content The "contradiction" of rationality and irrationality in utopian conceptions ● Fiction and reality ● Model and myth ● Symbol and symbolic action ● Enlightenment to autonomy. The target groups ● Humanities scholars, political scientists and social scientists ● Philosophers ● Theologians The author Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Soeffner is Professor Emeritus of General Sociology at the University of Konstanz, Senior Fellow and Board Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities Essen (KWI) and Permanent Visiting Fellow at the Forum internationale Wissenschaft of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn.
Theresienstadt: Film Fragments and Testimonies
In the ghetto, transit and concentration camp Theresienstadt, film recordings were made with the forced participation of the deportees and became known under the title "Theresienstadt - A Documentary from the Jewish Settlement Area". As a particularly perfidious part of National Socialist propaganda, these recordings continue to have an impact to the present day: Deniers of the National Socialist genocide still refer to this film today. In this anthology, the special position of Theresienstadt is examined on various levels. In addition to the analysis of eyewitness interviews, sociological, philosophical, and historiographical reflections on the circumstances, conditions, and peculiarities of Terezin are included.
Order of Rituals
To those still accustomed to seeing social order depicted in classes, strata, central groups, or institutions, and who measure and classify the social world according to "centers" and "margins," modern society presents itself as ambiguous and unmanageable. This is not unprecedented. Human societies often discover themselves in situations in which the traditional grids of order and stratification lose their value and fail to serve as guideposts for individuals. In The Order of Rituals, Hans-Georg Soeffner aims to answer the question: Through what efforts of order and orientation are loosely organized societies like ours held together? Soeffner focuses on symbolic forms of self-presentation th...
