Based on theoretical developments in research on world-systems
analysis, transnational migration, postcolonial and decolonial
perspectives, whilst considering continuities of inequality
patterns in the context of colonial and postcolonial realities,
Global Inequalities Beyond Occidentalism proposes an original
framework for the study of the long-term reproduction of
inequalities under global capitalism. With attention to the
critical assessment of both Marxist and Weberian perspectives, this
book examines the wider implications of transferring classical
approaches to inequality to a twenty-first-century context, calling
for a reconceptualisation of inequality that is both theoretically
informed and methodologically consistent, and able to cater for the
implications of shifts from national and Western structures to
global structures. Engaging with approaches to the study of class,
gender, racial and ethnic inequalities at the global level, this
innovative work adopts a relational perspective in the study of
social inequalities that is able to reveal how historical
interdependencies between world regions have translated as
processes of inequality production and reproduction. As such, it
will be of interest to scholars of sociology, political and social
theory and anthropology concerned with questions of globalisation
and inequality.
During its 500-year history, the modern world-system has seen
several shifts in hegemony. Yet, since the decline of the U.S. in
the 1970s, no single core power has attained a hegemonic position
in an increasingly polarized world. As income inequalities have
become more pronounced in core countries, especially in the U.S.
and the U.K., global inequalities emerged as a "new" topic of
social scientific scholarship, ignoring the constant move toward
polarization that has been characteristic of the entire modern
world-system. At the same time, the rise of new states (most
notably, the BRICS) and the relative economic growth of particular
regions (especially East Asia) have prompted speculations about the
next hegemon that largely disregard both the longue duree of
hegemonic shifts and the constraints that regional differentiations
place on the concentration of capital and geopolitical power in one
location. Authors in this book place the issue of rising
inequalities at the center of their analyses. They explore the
concept and reality of semiperipheries in the 21st century
world-system, the role of the state and of transnational migration
in current patterns of global stratification, types of catching-up
development and new spatial configurations of inequality in
Europe's Eastern periphery as well as the prospects for the Global
Left in the new systemic order. The book links novel theoretical
debates on the rise of global inequalities to methodologically
innovative approaches to the urgent task of addressing them.

Das Handbuch führt in den aktuellen Diskussionsstand der
sozialwissenschaftlichen Entwicklungsforschung ein und liefert
einen systematischen Überblick über die Vielfalt der vertretenen
Paradigmen und Forschungsfelder. In die 2. Auflage wurden

Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the
androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in
mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the
processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided
into sections organized around themes like modernity, border
epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the
self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an
assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as
postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be
described as the decolonization of the discipline. With
contributions from a truly international team of leading social
scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused
exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of
the discipline of sociology.

How are modernity, coloniality, and interimperiality entangled?
Bridging the humanities and social sciences, Anca Parvulescu and
Manuela Boatcă provide innovative decolonial perspectives that aim
to creolize modernity and the modern world-system. Historical
Transylvania, at the intersection of the Habsburg Empire, the
Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary, and Russia, offers the platform
for their multi-level reading of the main themes in Liviu
Rebreanu's 1920 novel Ion. Topics range from the question of the
region's capitalist integration to antisemitism and the enslavement
of Roma to multilingualism, gender relations, and religion.
Creolizing the Modern develops a comparative method for engaging
with areas of the world that have inherited multiple, conflicting
imperial and anti-imperial histories.

Gewaltakzeptanz, Gewaltbereitschaft und Gewalttatigkeit in unseren
Gegen wartsgesellschaften sind Gegenstand publizistischer,
politischer, wissen schaftlicher und nicht zuletzt alltaglicher
Diskussionen, die in Teilen kontro vers, in Teilen aber
ausgesprochen harmonisch-konsensuell verlaufen. Zu letzteren gehort
die beeindruckende Eintracht daruber, dass Gewalt ein ty pisch
mannliches Phanomen und permanent im Steigen begriffen ware. Sol
che - insbesondere massenmedial verbreitete - Stereotype, denen
eine Inter essen gebundene (um nicht zu sagen: ideologische
Komponente) eigen ist, werden in konsequenter Fortentwicklung der
Stereotype zu Vorurteilen und als solche handlungsrelevant und
bestimmen die zukunftige Gestaltung unse rer Gesellschaft. Die
damit einsetzende Spirale von "immer mehr" und "im mer schlimmer"
kann nur durchbrachen werden, wenn wissenschaftliche Arbeit
theoretisch und/oder empirisch in ergebnisoffener,
disziplinubergrei fender Weise die Phanomene analysiert und die
daraus resultierenden Er kenntnisse offentlichkeitswirksam
verbreitet. Dies tun zu konnen, setzt Ressourcen voraus, die die
Unabhangigkeit wis senschaftlicher Arbeit und ihren Erfolg eroffnen
und garantieren. Die Ge schichts-und Gesellschaftswissenschaftliche
Fakultat der Katholischen Uni versitat Eichstatt-Ingolstadt ist in
der glucklichen Lage, die Otto von Freising Zustiftung zu haben,
die es ermoglicht, z. B. Symposien zu organisieren und zu
realisieren. Da der Lehrstuhl fiir Soziologie 11 sich mit den oben
apostrophierten Fra gestellungen seit Jahren beschaftigt und im
Sommersemester 2003 die Otto von Freising-Mittel ihm zur Verfugung
standen, wurde vom 3. bis 5. Juli 2003 eine interdisziplinare
Fachtagung zum Thema "Geschlecht - Gewalt - Gesellschaft"
veranstaltet."
