Book Synopsis Ecological Communication by : Niklas Luhmann
Download or read book Ecological Communication written by Niklas Luhmann and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1989-08-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niklas Luhmann is widely recognized as one of the most original thinkers in the social sciences today. This major new work further develops the theories of the author by offering a challenging analysis of the relationship between society and the environment. Luhmann extends the concept of "ecology" to refer to any analysis that looks at connections between social systems and the surrounding environment. He traces the development of the notion of "environment" from the medieval idea—which encompasses both human and natural systems—to our modern definition, which separates social systems from the external environment. In Luhmann's thought, human beings form part of the environment, while social systems consist only of communications. Utilizing this distinctive theoretical perspective, Luhmann presents a comprehensive catalog of society's reactions to environmental problems. He investigates the spheres of the economy, law, science, politics, religion, and education to show how these areas relate to environmental issues. Ecological Communication is an important work that critically examines claims central to our society—claims to modernity and rationality. It will be of great importance to scholars and students in sociology, political science, philosophy, anthropology, and law.
Book Synopsis Ökologische Aufklärung by : Christian Büscher
Download or read book Ökologische Aufklärung written by Christian Büscher and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Sammelband ist der Beobachtung geschuldet, dass in den ak- ellen öffentlichen Debatten über Problemlösungen hinsichtlich einer „ökolo- schen Krise“ soziologische Argumente keinerlei Rolle spielen. Die Rettung der Welt wird sozusagen ohne Vorstellungen von „Gesellschaft“ betrieben. All- falls hinsichtlich der Verursachung der Krise wird die Verselbständigung eines wissenschaftlich-technisch-kapitalistischen Komplexes angenommen, der die dringend gebotene Verhinderung weiterer Schäden durch menschliche Eingriffe in die Natur systematisch unterminiert. Ansonsten finden sich zumeist Appelle an die Einsicht in eine Art notwendiger ökologischer Demut, gerichtet an Per- nen, sowohl in ihren jeweiligen Lebensstilen als auch in ihrer Eigenschaft als Träger gesellschaftlicher Rollen (Politiker, Manager, Wissenschaftler etc. ), oder Appelle an die Verantwortung von Unternehmen, die sozialen und ökologischen Folgen ihres Tuns zu berücksichtigen und sich politisch, ökologisch sowie sozial „korrekt“ zu verhalten. Vor 25 Jahren hat Niklas Luhmann die Studie „Ökologische Kommunikati- 1 on“ vorgelegt. Es war der systematische Versuch, die Möglichkeiten der mod- nen Gesellschaft, sich auf eine ökologische Gefährdung einzustellen, mit Hilfe einer „Theorie der Gesellschaft“ durchzuspielen. Aus der Prämisse, dass die Gesellschaft einem Primat funktionaler Differenzierung unterliegt, folgt seine Beobachtung: Funktionssysteme können nur auf der Ebene ihrer Programme unter Einbeziehung ihres je spezifischen Codes Resonanz auf ökologische P- bleme erzeugen. Damit ist ein anderes Niveau der Erwartungsgeneralisierung anvisiert, als es allgemein üblich ist.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and Storytelling by : Annika Arnold
Download or read book Climate Change and Storytelling written by Annika Arnold and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is as much a cultural phenomenon as it is a natural one. This book is about those cultural patterns that surround our perception of the environmental crisis and which are embodied in the narratives told by climate change advocates. It investigates the themes and motifs in those narratives through the use of narrative theory and cultural sociology. Developing a framework for cultural narrative analysis, Climate Change and Storytelling draws on qualitative interviews with stakeholders, activists and politicians in the USA and Germany to identify motifs and the relationships between heroes, villains and victims, as told by the messengers of the narrative. This book will provide academics and practitioners with insights into the structure of climate change communication among climate advocates and the cultural fabric that informs it.
Download or read book Niklas Luhmann written by Claudio Baraldi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insight into the ideas of one of the world’s greatest sociologists: Niklas Luhmann. It explains, in clear and concise language, the basic concepts of Social Systems Theory and their application to the specific case of the Education System, which was considered by Luhmann as a primary subsystem of modern society. It illustrates the complex and sophisticated thinking that characterises Luhmann’s work and explains that Luhmann’s theory has given an important and original contribution to the study of education from a sociological point of view. His contribution has some resonance in recent social constructionist and relational approaches to education, as well as in studies of educational interaction. In addition, research methodologies, in particular mixed methods strategies, draw heavily on epistemological issues. The book finally argues that educationists can appreciate the extent of Luhmann’s contribution to the field of education, although their perspective cannot be fully harmonised with, nor reduced to, the sociological one. This divergence of perspectives can stimulate pedagogy to call into question its conceptual framework as well its approach to social situations in the classroom.
Book Synopsis Environmental Sociology by : Matthias Groß
Download or read book Environmental Sociology written by Matthias Groß and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being a relatively young sub-discipline, European environmental sociology has changed considerably in the last decades towards more interdisciplinary collaborations and problem solving. Current trends such as global environmental modernization and processes of economic, political and socio-cultural globalization, fuelled by developments of transport, environmental flows, scientific uncertainty, and information technologies, have fostered new conceptual approaches that move beyond classical sociological mind-sets toward broader attempts to connect to other disciplines.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Production Consumption Systems by : Louis Lebel
Download or read book Sustainable Production Consumption Systems written by Louis Lebel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Production Consumption Systems brings together a set of designed case studies intended to provide a more in-depth understanding of challenges and opportunities in bringing knowledge and actions closer together for the sustainable management of specific production and consumption systems. The case study approach enabled researchers to engage directly with some of the actors involved in the production, consumption or regulation of specific goods or services and other stakeholders affected by those processes. Such engagement was particularly worthwhile when it helped mobilize actors to pursue linking knowledge with action in ways that improve the prospects for sustainability.
Book Synopsis Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change by : Stewart Lockie
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change written by Stewart Lockie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the risks associated with global environmental change and the dangers of extreme climatic and geological events remind us of humanity’s dependence on favourable environmental conditions. Our relationships with the landscapes and ecologies that we are a part of, the plants and animals that we share them with, and the natural resources that we extract, lie at the heart of contemporary social and political debates. It is no longer possible to understand key social scientific concerns without at the same time also understanding contemporary patterns of ecosystem change. The Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change reviews the major ways in which social scientists are conceptualizing more integrated perspectives on society and nature, from the global to local levels. The chapters in this volume, by international experts from a variety of disciplines, explore the challenges, contradictions and consequences of social–ecological change, along with the uncertainties and governance dilemmas they create. The contributions are based around the themes of: Climate change, energy, and adaptation Urban environmental change and governance Risk, uncertainty and social learning (Re)assembling social-ecological systems With case studies from sectors across both developed and developing worlds, the Handbook illustrates the inter-connectedness of ecosystem health, natural resource condition, livelihood security, social justice and development. It will be of interest for students and scholars across the social sciences and natural sciences, as well as to those interested and engaged in environmental policy at all levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from experts in the field of sociology of law, this book provides an overview of current perspectives on socio-legal studies. It focuses particularly on the relationship between law and society described in recent social systems theory as ’structural coupling’. The first part of the book presents a reconstruction of theoretical tendencies in the field of socio-legal studies, characterised by the emergence of a transnational model of legal systems no longer connected to territorial borders and culturally specific aspects of single legal orders. In the following parts of the book, the contributions analyse some concrete cases of interrelation between law and society from an empirical and theoretical perspective.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Utopias by : Jennifer L. Allen
Download or read book Sustainable Utopias written by Jennifer L. Allen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To reclaim a sense of hope for the future, German activists in the late twentieth century engaged ordinary citizens in innovative projects that resisted alienation and disenfranchisement. By most accounts, the twentieth century was not kind to utopian thought. The violence of two world wars, Cold War anxieties, and a widespread sense of crisis after the 1973 global oil shock appeared to doom dreams of a better world. The eventual victory of capitalism and, seemingly, liberal democracy relieved some fears but exchanged them for complacency and cynicism. Not, however, in West Germany. Jennifer Allen showcases grassroots activism of the 1980s and 1990s that envisioned a radically different society based on community-centered politics—a society in which the democratization of culture and power ameliorated alienation and resisted the impotence of end-of-history narratives. Berlin’s History Workshop liberated research from university confines by providing opportunities for ordinary people to write and debate the story of the nation. The Green Party made the politics of direct democracy central to its program. Artists changed the way people viewed and acted in public spaces by installing objects in unexpected environments, including the Stolpersteine: paving stones, embedded in residential sidewalks, bearing the names of Nazi victims. These activists went beyond just trafficking in ideas. They forged new infrastructures, spaces, and behaviors that gave everyday people real agency in their communities. Undergirding this activism was the environmentalist concept of sustainability, which demanded that any alternative to existing society be both enduring and adaptable. A rigorous but inspiring tale of hope in action, Sustainable Utopias makes the case that it is still worth believing in human creativity and the labor of citizenship.
