Presenting a profound and far-reaching analysis of economic, ecological, social, cultural and political developments of contemporary capitalism, this book draws on the work of Karl Polanyi, and re-reads it for our times. The renowned authors offer key insights to current changes in the relations between the economy, politics and society, and their ecological and social effects. They explore the commodification of land, labour, money, care and knowledge, and analyse labour and social movements, right-wing populism and religious fundamentalism. Bringing together insights from different parts of the world and from historical, theoretical and empirical research, the book sheds light on important facets of the crisis-driven transformation of contemporary capitalism. Social and political science scholars will greatly benefit from this timely analysis of contemporary capitalism. Those researching economic history and the impact of Polanyi's work on the analysis of the modern society will also find this a useful read. Contributors include: R. Atzmuller, B. Aulenbacher, R. Barnthaler, K. Becker, D. Bohle, U. Brand, M. Brie, A. Bugra, M. Cangiani, F. Decieux, C. Deutschmann, K. Doerre, K. Fischer, C. Goerg, B. Greskovits, B. Jessop, E. Langthaler, M. Leiblfinger, M.

Editors' Foreword The fundamental changes currently taking place in the national and international science landscapes can no longer be overlooked. Within those changes, reforms do not go 'as planned' but, as is always the case with processes of rationali- tion, have a series of unintended effects. At the same time it becomes incre- ingly clear who in this process are the winners and who are the losers, although this is still subject to fluctuation and change. This can be illustrated by two - amples from current events: Where the range of taught courses is concerned, as part of the Bologna Process the new structuring of student study paths and their organisation is aimed at unifying the European area of science to ensure a study that is equally permissive and efficient. However, it is to be deplored that the mobility of s- dents has become more restricted because of an increasing specialisation in the available study paths. Also, bachelor degrees do not meet with the anticipated high response from the labour market in all countries, so that the master's degree is becoming more or less a 'must', while at the same time the number of study places on master's courses is limited. Instead of the intended reduction in the duration of study time in comparison to the previous German 'Magister' and 'Diplom', rather a prolongation in the duration of studies has been recorded.
Gesellschaftliche Umbruche lassen auch wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, Kategorien, Zugange, Methoden und Verfahren fraglich werden. In solchen Zeiten ist die Wissenschaft besonders gefordert, sich kritisch und selbstkritisch des erreichten Stands der Dinge zu vergewissern. Auch gilt es, nach neuen Wegen der Erkenntnis zu suchen. Renommierte GeschlechterforscherInnen stellen sich hier dieser Herausforderung. Es schreiben Nina Baur, Regina Becker-Schmidt, Raewyn Connell, Mechthild Bereswill, Bettina Dausien, Melanie Gross und Gabriele Winker, Carol Hagemann-White, Jeff Hearn, Karin Jurczyk und Maria S. Rerrich, Gudrun-Axeli Knapp, Ellen Kuhlmann und Christa Larsen, Edelgard Kutzner, Sigrid Metz-Gockel, Michael Meuser, Sylvia M. Wilz und Ilka Peppmeier."
Die soziologische Frauen-, Mannlichkeits- und Geschlechterforschung
kann auf eine beachtliche Tradition zuruckblicken. In ebenso
heftigen wie konstruktiven Debatten entstanden wegweisende
feministische und geschlechtersoziologische Beitrage zur
Gesellschaftsanalyse. Ob es spezifische Methodologien und Methoden
der Geschlechterforschung gibt, wurde und wird entlang empirischer
Forschungsfelder debattiert. Und schliesslich stand und steht die
Kategorie Geschlecht selbst auf dem Prufstand.
Was haben Rationalisierung und Geschlecht miteinander zu tun? Wie
nehmen soziologische Gegenwartsanalysen beides in den Blick? Was
ubersehen sie dort, wo sie die Kategorie Geschlecht nicht
systematisch berucksichtigen? Diesen Fragen spurt die Autorin in
einer Diskussion von Ansatzen der Geschlechterforschung, der
Modernisierungstheorie, der Organisations- und Technikforschung und
der Industriesoziologie nach.
