Making Sense - Markets from Stories in New Breast Cancer Therapeutics (Hardcover): Sophie Mutzel Making Sense - Markets from Stories in New Breast Cancer Therapeutics (Hardcover)
Sophie Mutzel
R2,132 Discovery Miles 21 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of death for women worldwide. With advances in molecular engineering in the 1980s, hopes began to rise that a non-toxic and non-invasive treatment for breast cancer could be developed. These hopes were stoked by the researchers, biotech companies, and analysts who worked to make sense of the uncertainties during product development. In Making Sense Sophie Mutzel traces this emergence of "innovative breast cancer therapeutics" from the late 1980s up to 2010, through the lens of the narratives of the involved actors. Combining theories of economic and cultural sociology, Mutzel shows how stories are integral for the emergence of new markets; stories of the future create a market of expectations prior to any existing products; stories also help to create categories on what such a new market and its products are about. Making Sense uses thousands of press statements, media reports, scientific reports, and financial and industry analyses, and combines qualitative and large-scale computational text analyses, to illustrate these mechanisms, presenting a fresh view of how life-prolonging innovations can be turned into market products.

Relationale Soziologie - Zur kulturellen Wende der Netzwerkforschung (German, English, Paperback): Jan Fuhse, Sophie Mutzel Relationale Soziologie - Zur kulturellen Wende der Netzwerkforschung (German, English, Paperback)
Jan Fuhse, Sophie Mutzel
R1,453 Discovery Miles 14 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Der Band stellt die relationale Soziologie als einen innovativen Theorie- und Forschungsansatz fur aktuelle soziologische Diskussionen vor. Allgemein geht es der relationalen Soziologie um die theoretische Modellierung und empirische Analyse von sozialen Netzwerken als sozio-kulturelle Formationen - Netzwerkstruktur wird als verwoben mit kulturellen Mustern gedacht. Die internationalen Beitrage des Bandes zeigen theoretische und empirische Richtungen auf, mit denen der reine Strukturalismus der Netzwerkforschung uberwunden werden kann. Dabei wird die Netzwerkforschung u.a. mit der Systemtheorie, der Soziologie der Konventionen und der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie in fruchtbare Verbindung gebracht. Mit Beitragen von Harrison White, Roger Haussling, Ronald L. Breiger, Stephan Fuchs, Dirk Baecker, Sophie Mutzel, Jan A. Fuhse, Athanasios Karafillidis, Boris Holzer, Christian Stegbauer, Patrick Aspers, Rainer Diaz-Bone, John Levi Martin und Monica Lee.
