Aalborg University, Denmark

The Times they Are a-Changin’

The Significance of Symbolic Interactionism in Contemporary Social Sciences and Humanities

The theme of the conference is how the tradition of symbolic interactionism is applied and elaborated in contemporary research on social processes such as communication, identity, and everyday life. It explores the theoretical and methodological challenges symbolic interactionism faces in the light of the social transformation of modernity, and the following developments within the social sciences and humanities.

The conference invites presentations offering analyses of contemporary mind, self or society from a symbolic interactionist perspective, as well as presentations that consider theoretical and methodological changes within the perspective of symbolic interactionism over time, as well as challenges within contemporary society.

Med afsæt i bogen Gode penge – Et kontant svar på gældskrisen (2013) præsenterer Ole Bjerg en analyse af den nuværende økonomiske krise, der lokaliserer problemet i selve den måde, som nye penge skabes og sættes i cirkulation. Analysen lægger blandt andet op til en diskussion af, hvorvidt sociologien overhovedet er klædt på til at forholde sig til de mest presserende problemer i vor tid.

NORDIC DEMOGRAPHIC SYMPOSIUM. CALL FOR PAPERS

Udgivet den af

THE 19TH NORDIC DEMOGRAPHIC SYMPOSIUM 2014

18th – 20th September 2014
Nordkraft & Utzon Center, Aalborg, Denmark

Regional development with a focus on rural areas

The Planning Committee of the Nordic Demographic Symposium 2014 is pleased to open for paper abstracts. The submission deadline is April 15th, 2014, after which proposals will be evaluated and organized into sessions.

The topic for the symposium is Regional development with a focus on rural areas; however we welcome papers on all topics related to demography. There will be a mix of plenary sessions with keynote speakers and parallel panel sessions.

The symposium will take place at the harbour front in the city centre of Aalborg, Denmark. Here, years of effort to transform the city’s old industrial identity into an image characterising the city as being modern, enterprising and a centre of knowledge has resulted in the transformation of the old coal-powered power plant, Nordkraft, into a centre for culture, learning and sports and the building of the Utzon Center and Musikkens hus, the latter to be opened in Marts 2014. In these surroundings, the 19th Nordic Demographic Symposium will take place.

Theme

In the last 20-25 years, areas far away from the big cities have undergone significant demographic changes. In the public debate, words are that these areas are being depopulated; young women are seeking educational attainment in cities and metropolitan areas, while young men are left behind. Further, unemployment rates in these areas are high. Houses are empty and public institutions are fever just as local administrations struggle to cover the expenses for a growing number of elderly people. At the same time local employers have difficulties in attracting higher educated employees.

The wish for this symposium is to communicate the latest research in this field. The questions to answer could be: Which challenges do small cities and rural areas face in the future with respect to the population size and composition? What characterise areas that experience different developments? How has this development been administered, and does one find municipalities having managed to change a negative development and prosper as a community?

Submission and more information

If you wish to submit an abstract and present a paper related to demography at the symposium, please visit the symposium webpage for more information on the requirements for abstracts and the submission process as well as on other information relevant to the Symposium.

Løsladt og gældsat

 Dansk Sociologforening præsenterer foredrag ved Annette Olesen, Syddansk Universitet.

 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.

 Tid: Onsdag d. 2. april 2014, 17.00-19.00.

 Sted: Center for Sundhed og Samfund, Øster Farimagsgade 5,1014 København K, lokale 2.0.63

Europe’s global challenges: Society, Politics, Markets

Europe finds itself in a time of turmoil and crisis. This conference will provide a platform for discussing the internal crisis of the project of European integration in relation to the global challenges, which European societies are currently facing. We wish to examine the role of political sociology as a discipline that can enhance the understanding of ever more complex relationships between (nation) states, supranational institutions and (trans)national society. We also wish to develop a more thorough understanding of the consequences of crises for state-society relations in a comparative perspective and in relation to the project of European integration.

The first transformations that concern European political sociology are Europe’s own internal crises. Western societies in general and European societies (including Eastern Europe) in particular have seen their growth models stall and, in some cases, fall into decline. Europe as a whole faces a serious social and demographic challenges. The question of how to ‘govern’ these internal challenges poses a series of near-intractable political, social and cultural problems. These include the rise of populist and neo-nationalist political parties, the growing hostility to immigration, the sustainability of our welfare systems, and the politicised struggles over distribution, gender and collective identification within the European political space. The second transformation that concerns European political sociology is the changing premises of globalisation. The moment of crisis is connected to the fact that the west’s leadership across a range of domains – political, legal, cultural, normative – seems to be in serious decline. The premise of ‘globalisation’ has been that the progressive spread of market society and economic liberal policies through the promotion of free trade, capital mobility and the removal of other barriers to transactions across borders would not only deliver absolute positive-sum gains across the world economy, but also facilitate the global spread of human rights and liberal democracy. The shift away from globalisation leads to a return of political and economic nationalism, regionalism and localism and a new cultural particularism. Similarly, in the areas of normative politics – human rights, democracy, equality and diversity – Europe is facing severe problems maintaining its position as a key producer of ‘universals’. While still universalist in aspiration, central notions such as ‘civic rights’ ‘citizenship’ and ‘social equality’ are currently under heavily contested by new political actors and movements that stretch beyond the European political space.

The negotiation of the relationship between (a) the EU’s internal crisis and (b) Europe’s responses to global challenges raises fundamental questions about the direction, dynamics, legitimacy and future viability of the European project. Here the question of how the dynamics of globalisation and Europe’s global challenges are dealt with at the meso- level (‘Europe of the Nations’, ‘Europe of the regions’) and micro-level (‘Europe of the suburbs’) is pivotal.

The Third European Political Sociology Midterm Conference will be organized around three sub-sections:

Subsection 1: The European Socio-cultural Space and the New Global Order

Here we invite contributions dealing with political culture, media and the public sphere in a trans-nationalising context. How can we capture the socio-cultural and identity cleavages in relation to ongoing political struggles and the challenges to the welfare state? How do reactions to crisis heighten media attention and give salience to ethnic, cultural and gender cleavages in Europe? How does the confrontation with the present crisis contribute to the reconfiguration of social and cultural spaces facilitating or inhibiting transcultural encounters and exchange of understandings? How are issues of welfare chauvinism connected to fears of a ‘demographic winter’ among the diverse polities in Europe.

Subsection 2: The European Legal-Politico Space and the New Global Order

Here, we invite contributions dealing with the current contestation and reconfiguration of political order and its legitimacy. How effectively, given the scale of the EU’s own crisis, can EU institutions manage the intra-European effects of this new global configuration? In what ways, to what extent and with what political, legal and social instruments are European and domestic (national, regional and local) policy-makers and citizens contesting political and economic choices in the shifting global configuration? From a classical political sociology perspective, we wish to examine the transformations of European leadership and the elites in the enlarged Europe in a global context. How does the erosion of citizen trust affect the constitution of social and political authority and leadership in Europe? How do the claims of new groups and rules of representation transform the roles of elites in Europe? From the perspective of democracy and rights, we wish to ask what role is played by the forms of active citizenship (resilience strategies, social movements, etc.) in this context? How are law, political rights, citizenship and democracy redefined in this process of contestation of the contours of political order? How are global problems administrated by urban and regional governance and how are they perceived subjectively in processes of political representation? How are these options accounted for from an intersectional perspective considering systems of class, ethnicity/race, gender and sexuality?

Subsection 3: The European Market Space and the New Global Order

Here we look for contributions dealing with a political economy of Europe in times of crisis. What is the scale of the challenges posed to Europe by the shifting global configuration? How do European policy-makers and institutions conceptualise the changing global economic and political order, and how is the place and role of ‘Europe’ understood in the context of that order? How are fundamental dilemmas (‘market versus democracy’ and ‘competitiveness versus cohesion’) conceived and related to policy formulation at the EU level in this context? How are these options

accounted for from an intersectional perspective (the interplay between class, ethnicity/race, gender, and sexuality) in the wider context of the ‘rush to the bottom’ as part of the continuous striving for economic competitiveness, both internally among various European polities, but also externally between European countries and the rest of the world ? How do cities or regions face the crisis and what are the territorial economical dimensions of globalisation?

Submission of Papers and Panel Proposals

Participants are requested to apply directly to one of the three sections. Panel proposals should include at least three abstracts (max. 200 words). Deadline: Paper abstracts and panel proposals should be submitted online no later than Monday 31 March 2014 at the EuroChallenge website: www.eurochallenge.ku.dk.

Submitters of accepted abstracts will be informed in the beginning of April 2014.

FOREDRAG AF NIKOLAS KOMPRIDIS

Udgivet den af

The Department of sociology, University of Copenhagen, has in cooperation with the Research group “Knowledge, uncertainty and trust” and the Danish Sociological Association invited:

Professor Nikolas Kompridis

Research professor and director of the Institute for Social Justice, Australian Catholic University Sydney.

Professor Kompridis gives two talks. He is the third guest in the department’s lecture series about the fourth generation of critical theory

  • Struggling for Recognition or Building Receptivity? Rethinking Politics and Critique in the Age of the Anthropocene.

May 20 (Tuesday): 13-15. CSS 16.2.55. In cooperation with the research group “Knowledge, uncertainty and trust”

Abstract: “In this talk, I argue for a shift of ethico-political paradigm from recognition to receptivity. The proposed shift of paradigm from recognition to receptivity allows us to rethink our obligations to, and the challenges of, diverse others, human and non-human, in ways that overcome the limitations of Hegel’s recognition model and its contemporary iterations. And it refigures 21st century politics as a politics of building receptivity rather than of struggling for recognition.”

  • Rethinking Democracy’s Relation to Crisis: Is the Concept of Crisis itself in Crisis?

May 21 (Wednesday) 17-19 CSS 1.1.18. In cooperation with the Danish sociological association

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.”

Both talks are public. The first one is more seminar-like. You are welcome to contact Mikael Carleheden (mc@soc.ku.dk) to get material for the seminar

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.

His latest book is: The Aesthetic Turn in Political Thought. London; New York: Continuum. See also; Critique and disclosure: critical theory between past and future. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press.

The Decline of the Middle Classes

in the

Developed World?

Madrid, Spain

September 28–30, 2014

Conference Website

In the wake of the 2008/2009 financial crisis have come increasing concerns that we may be witnessing the decline of the middle classes across the developed world. The forces underlying this uneasiness, of course, were at work before the crisis, but it seems to have hastened and aggravated their impact. Is the decades-long period of relative middle-class affluence at an end? Or will current difficulties pass as national economies strengthen?

In order to explore these and related issues, the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), the University of Maryland School of Public Policy (UMD), and the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) will hold a conference in Madrid, Spain, September 29–30, 2014. (An opening reception will take place the evening of September 28.)

The conference is designed to attract a worldwide audience, including academics and professionals from universities, think tanks, government agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector. Paper and panel submissions are welcomed on:

  • the social and economic condition of the middle class in individual or groups of countries (including trends over time),and on the contributing and countering factors, including:
  • macroeconomic policy;
  • labor market conditions;
  • family structure;
  • work/family issues;
  • demographics (such as aging and disability);
  • immigration and migration;
  • government cash transfer programs;
  • social welfare; and
  • workforce development efforts (including remedial education programs, such as basic, secondary, post school and career-related education; and higher education).

Proposals should be submitted through the APPAM website here from January 23, 2014 through March 31, 2014. Proposal reviews will be completed by May 2, 2014 and notifications will be sent directly thereafter. If a proposal is accepted, the presenter will need to register for the conference in order to participate (see “registration” below).

A person may submit no more than two proposals (including both single-authored and co-authored papers). Individuals will be limited to two acceptances (at least one of which must be multi-authored) and only one opportunity to present at the conference.
