?:abstract
  • In times of profound social upheavals and manifest crises, there is a need for fundamental analyses that take a look at contemporary society as a whole, examine its structural features and dynamics and potentially even reveal ways out of critical developments. In recent years, Andreas Reckwitz and Hartmut Rosa have presented large-scale but very differently accentuated theories of society, which play an important role in shaping the current debates on late modernity. In this joint venture, they now enter into a critical dialogue. Based on the shared concern that the analysis of modernity as a social formation belongs at the centre of a sociology that takes seriously its task of enlightening society about itself, they first unfold their own socio-theoretical perspectives in extensive essays: while Reckwitz chooses "social practices", "contingency" and "singularisation" as guiding concepts, Rosa opts for "acceleration", "increase" and "resonance". In the second part of the book, they consolidate their positions even more, work out commonalities, but also point out fundamental differences - in a frank conversation moderated by Martin Bauer.
