Foredrag ved Rasmus Willig, RUC, 20. maj 2014.
Flere nulevende sociologer og filosoffer mener at ”dampen er gået af samfundskritikken”, eller den er blevet ”tandløs” eller ligefrem er ”reduceret til nostalgi”. ”Det ikke længere samfundets skyld, men min egen skyld”. Sådan er der flere som tænker og det betyder at den traditionelle samfundskritik er blevet til selvkritik. Nu er det ikke længere de herskende klasser som anklages for samfundets uretfærdigheder, men de enkelte individer, som ikke er selvansvarlige og som ikke kan forvalte deres talenter, færdigheder eller evner. Foredraget sætter ord på, hvordan der er sket en u-vending af kritikken og hvilke konsekvenser det får for både samfund og individ.
Rasmus Willig, Ph.d. er tidl. formand for Dansk Sociologforening og lektor ved Institut for Samfund og Globalisering, Roskilde Universitet. Han har blandt andet skrevet bøgerne (2007) Til forsvar for kritikken, (2009) Umyndiggørelse. Et essays om kritikkens infrastruktur og (2013) Kritikkens U-vending.

LØSLADT OG GÆLDSAT
Foredrag ved Annette Olesen, Syddansk Universitet, 2. april 2014.
I Danmark hæfter domfældte i straffesager for de nødvendige omkostninger, der er medgået til behandlingen af deres sag. Disse udgifter består bl.a. af forsvarssalær, udgifter til tekniske undersøgelser, DNA-analyser og lægeerklæringer. Idømmes domfældte en fængselsstraf, løslades pågældende til en offentlig gæld, der ofte virker som en uoverskuelig og ubetalelig ekstra straf. Gældssituationen påvirker de løsladte forskelligt. De løsladte, der forsøger at leve kriminalitetsfrit, oplever i højere grad de negative følger af gælden, hvorimod de løsladte der genoptager en kriminel løbebane gerne udvikler alternative handlingsstrategier, der kompenserer for de negative følger af gælden.
Annette Olesen (1982), cand. scient. soc. og ph.d. (jura), adjunkt på Juridisk Institut, Syddansk Universitet. Hendes ph.d.-afhandling “Løsladt og gældsat” danner baggrunden for oplægget.

Rethinking Democracy’s Relation to Crisis: Is the Concept of Crisis itself in Crisis?
Foredrag af Nikolas Kompridis, Research professor and director of the Institute for Social Justice, Australian Catholic University Sydney, 21 maj 2014.
Abstract: ”In this talk I will make two seemingly dissonant but interrelated claims: 1) that “crisis” in a strictly defined sense is internal to democracy, both inescapable and necessary, from which circumstance distinctive normative, conceptual and institutional implications follow, and 2) that the concept of “crisis” is itself in crisis, making it an increasingly suspect if not meaningless category of diagnosis and critique.”
Kompridis research areas are Critical theory; democratic theory; theories of agency and action; theories of rationality; theories of identity, recognition, and culture; secularism and modernity; the role of social criticism in social change; the renewal of romanticism; and issues in philosophy of art, literature, music and film. Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Adorno, Arendt, Habermas, Foucault, Taylor, Cavell.

Nyhedsbrev fra Dansk Sociologforening, maj 2014
I næste uge kan Dansk Sociologforening byde på hele tre foredrag. Udover foredrag med Rasmus Willig og australske Nikolas Kompridis, er det lykkedes Sociologforeningen at få selveste Laurent Thévenot – en af grundlæggerne af fransk pragmatisk sociologi, kendt for bl.a. værket “On Justification. The Economies of Worth” skrevet sammen med Luc Boltanski – til at kigge forbi CSS torsdag den 22. maj.
Se tider, steder og emner for foredragene herunder.

Torsdag den 22. maj kl. 15:30-18:30: LAURENT THEVENOT: THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES: the new power vested in individuals on the grounds of a certified world
Location: CSS 1.1.18.
Professor Laurent Thévenot is Directeur d’études at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris and Senior researcher at the Centre d’Etudes de l’Emploi.
As a leading figure in the foundation of the pragmatic sociology of engagement and the “Convention Theory”, Thévenot has been very influential in the new French social sciences. He co-authored, with Luc Boltanski, the book “On Justification. The Economies of Worth” (2006) which is considered one of the most important works in pragmatic sociology. He also co-edited two books concerning new approaches of action, the practical engagement of objects and social cognition: Les objets dans l’action, and Cognition et information en société.
Abstract: Along the historical metamorphoses of authorities and powers claiming legitimacy, the most recent step led to a significant move. It shifted from a kind of government concentrated in sovereigns, rulers and representatives, to a different kind of “empire” of individuals. This power distributed on the “investiture” of individuals is actually based on a new kind of global – and largely non-state – mode of governing through certification standards.

This power distributed on the “investiture” of individuals is actually based on a new kind of global – and largely non-state – mode of governing through certification standards.
Questions
What kind of sociology is needed to grasp this change which affects both political communities and personalities? Which new oppressions result from this government? How can an embarrassed critique find new expressions?
