Pandemic Citizenship by Design
During the COVID-19 pandemic, states around the world used smartphone apps to break chains of infection. Some functioned as a passport or enabled states to enforce certain rules on their citizens. Others, such as the German contact tracing app, were less intrusive, anonymously informing users about their high-risk encounters with an infected person. This article analyses how the German app configured state-citizen relations using infrastructure-b…
Symbiotic engineering
This article analyses vector control methods that use microbes to fight diseases, such as dengue, Zika, or West-Nile, by infecting mosquitoes with an endosymbiotic bacterium, Wolbachia . These methods affect mosquitoes’ capacity to transmit viruses to humans, either by suppressing the whole mosquito population, or by neutralizing the pathogen in the insect itself. Drawing on fieldwork, we show how these approaches instantiate a biopolitical strat…

Atmosozialität
Die Kontroverse um die aerogene Übertragbarkeit von SARS-CoV-2 hat den Blick auf Atmosphären als Ökologien des Atmens gelenkt. Auf diese Weise ist die elementare Dimension des gesellschaftlichen Lebens hervorgetreten: der Umstand, dass sich das Soziale nicht einfach an der Luft, sondern in und durch Luft vollzieht. Der Artikel bringt diesen Sachverhalt auf den Begriff der Atmosozialität . Drei Aspekte werden herausgearbeitet: Erstens hat das Atmo…
Low-carbon cows
This article focuses on two projects - one at a large chemical company and the other at a small start-up - to intervene in the relations between cows and ruminal microbes to reduce bovine methane emissions. It describes these interventions as 'symbiotic engineering': a biopolitical technique targeting holobionts and becoming effective by working on interlaced sets of living things. Based on the analysis of these cases, the article elucidates a pl…

Einleitung: Symbiose als Theoriefigur– Fünf Thesen
Symbiosozialität – Zwischen Leben und Gesellschaft
Egal, ob es um die gestörte Beziehung des Menschen zu seinem Mikrobiom, die Auflösung von vitalen Banden in Ökosystemen oder die Beeinträchtigung des planetarischen Stoffwechsels geht – die Gegenwart ist heute durch eine Krise symbiotischer Beziehungen gekennzeichnet, die sowohl sozial induziert als auch für die Gesellschaft folgenschwer ist. Der vorliegende Aufsatz hat das Ziel, die Soziologie konzeptuell auf diese Problemlage einzustellen. Entw…

Die Grenzen der Verwaltung in der Krise
Capturing protest in urban environments
Kettling' has emerged in recent decades as an established, if controversial, tactic of public order policing. Departing from a historical emphasis on dispersal, kettling instead acts to contain protesters within a police cordon for sustained periods of time. This article elaborates upon the spatial and temporal logics of kettling by investigating the conditions of its historical emergence. We argue that kettling should be understood as a territor…
Inklusion /Exklusion
Simulating the world
If the twentieth century was the age of the world picture taken as a photograph of the Whole Earth from outer space, today's observations of the planet are produced by means of computer simulation. Pandemic models are of paramount sociological interest in this respect, since modelling contagion is closely intertwined with modelling the material connectivities of social life. By envisioning the global dynamics of disease transmission, pandemic sim…

Regulating epidemic space
Europe as Infrastructure
This article analyzes how infrastructures take part in constituting Europe as a material collectivity. To that end, it modifies Bruno Latour's sociology of associations in two respects: In order to theorize the relation between connectivity and collectivity, we consider the political rationalities that infrastructures embody and the political spatiality that they configure. This theoretical perspective is put to a test in exploring the "infrastru…
Future Emergencies
This article develops a notion of the 'politics of time' in order to analyse the effects that imaginations of future emergencies have in the fields of law and economy. Building on Niklas Luhmann's theory of social time, it focuses on the multiplex temporalities in contemporary society, which are shown to interact differently with the 'emergency imaginary'. We demonstrate that the apprehension of the future in terms of sudden, unpredictable and po…
(Un)Bestimmtheit
Unbestimmtheit ist ein Signum der modernen Gesellschaft. Dieses Buch diskutiert diese These und lotet aus, inwiefern Unbestimmtheit nicht nur eine Herausforderung für die moderne Gesellschaft darstellt, sondern auch eine Ressource gesellschaftlicher Praxis ist. Die moderne Gesellschaft vor dem Hintergrund von Risiko, Unsicherheit oder Kontingenz zu beschreiben, ist ein soziologischer Allgemeinplatz. Der Band knüpft zwar an derartige Diagnosen an,…

Global territories
This article develops a notion of global territoriality for understanding the proliferation of special offshore zones in the context of globalization. It furnishes an account of how political territoriality is used for shaping global dis/connectivity. The argument is developed through the exploration of two distinct cases of offshore zones that are usually not theorized as a common phenomenon: one case is the financial offshore center on the Caym…

Inklusion/Exklusion
Eine Topologie des Außen — Foucault als Theoretiker der Inklusion/Exklusion
Die folgenden Ausführungen besitzen den Charakter einer Erkundung. Angesichts der anhaltenden Konjunktur, die das Thema der Exklusion in den Sozialwissenschaften erlebt 1, soll untersucht werden, auf welche Art und Weise das Denken Michel Foucaults zu einem genaueren Verständnis von Praktiken der Ausschließung beitragen kann. Oder direkt gefragt: Wie können die von Foucault entwickelten theoretischen Figuren so arrangiert werden, dass sich Impuls…
Die Materialität der Exklusion
Der Begriff der Exklusion ist für die Soziologie eine Herausforderung. Indem er auf eine Sozialität jenseits des Sozialen verweist, führt er die Disziplin an die Grenze ihres Gegenstands. Konfrontiert mit dieser Grenze beschreibt die Soziologie den Exklusionsbereich regelmäßig als Raum, der nur noch bloße, auf ihre Materialität zurückgeworfene Körper beherbergt. Der vorliegende Artikel möchte den Körper des Ausgeschlossenen befragen: Warum erfolg…
