Sociology under scrutiny. Challenges of post-colonial, global and development sociology
Today, the post-colonial reasoning has reached mainstream sociology. The main point of criticism is sociology’s focus on the modern “West” and its ignorance of non-Western societies as well as the universalistic claim of sociological theories developed in the North Atlantic. This produces hierarchies and power in knowledge production and ignorance of epistemologies and research on and in the Global South. It is sometimes overlooked that this deba…
Must Fall’ movements globally
This article demonstrates an important case of transnational activist influence from the Global South to both Global North and other Global South contexts. While protests, slogans, strategies and demands are expressions of a specific context-bound protest culture, they have the potential to resonate globally. In this way, specific protests become a model for other social movements, although not without tension or reconfigurations of activism. In …
Die Utopie lebt! Plädoyer für eine Blickerweiterung der soziologischen Zeitdiagnose und Gesellschaftstheorie
Häufig wird die Gegenwart in gesellschaftstheoretischen und zeitdiagnostischen Debatten als utopielos beschrieben. Furchtbilder, Niedergangserwartungen sowie apokalyptische und rückwärtsgewandte Erzählungen dominierten die Imaginationen von Zukunft. Wir nehmen diese zeitdiagnostische Beschreibung zum Ausgangspunkt, um zu zeigen, dass es trotz dieser Tendenzen falsch ist, die Gegenwart als ein utopieloses Zeitalter zu bestimmen. Diese, aber auch a…
Reconsidering Afrotopia
“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness [. . .] it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.”1 Those were the words of the popular socialist president and thinker Thomas Sankara, whose creative policies and anticolonial vision for Burkina Faso were a utopian dream of a socially just future that seemed to come true for many citizens across Afr…
African Utopias
When Felwine Sarr’s book Afrotopia was published in 2019, it revived a debate on African utopias. With his book Sarr highlights the need to think about utopias in Africa, which has seldom been considered in an academic field dominated by Euro-American utopias. This article introduces the neglected academic field of Africa-related utopias. First, the way Africa is referred to in classical Euro-American utopias is analyzed before the broad field of…
Die Corona-Proteste in Österreich. Reflexionen zu den Nachwehen einer autoritären Revolte
Die Massenproteste gegen die Corona-Maßnahmen sind spätestens seit dem deklarierten Ende der Pandemie kaum mehr öffentlich sichtbar – und doch hallen sie nach. Durch das breitflächige Aufbegehren gegen die Schutzmaßnahmen und gegen staatliche Institutionen als solche sowie die allgegenwärtigen Verschwörungstheorien wurde schnell die Frage nach dem antidemokratischen Charakter der Proteste aufgeworfen. Wir charakterisieren in diesem Beitrag die Pr…
Development as Utopia? Road to a Better Future Between Fiction and Lived Utopian Practice
Development as presented in the MDGs/SDGs is a well-planned step-by-step enterprise.If we dig deeper into the development debate, it is clear that the dilemma of eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable development is still unsolved, despite all efforts.Thus, development seems to be fictional in the sense of an unreachable utopia.Against this background, it is helpful to connect the development debate with utopian studies.We learn from utopi…
Introduction to the Special Issue
The future -as a theme, research orientation, and mode of framing societal challenges -is becoming important in the social sciences.Yet the absence of collective action in many such accounts makes clear the potential contribution of social movement studies.In social movement studies, meanwhile, the future has been discussed directly and indirectly.Assumptions about timing, activist orientations towards the future, and causation are embedded in un…
Imagination, decolonization, and intersectionality
South African students have since 2015 returned to the forefront of the country’s social movement struggles. Central to this wave of contention was the #RhodesMustFall (#RMF) movement at the University of Cape Town (UCT), which coalesced with uprisings at universities across the country under the banner of #FeesMustFall, focusing demands on abolishing tuition fees, decolonizing education and society, and ending campus worker exploitation. In the …
Multi-layered encounters between Reclaim the City and the Cape Town municipality
Processes of gentrification challenge the right to adequate housing in Cape Town. Citizens cannot afford the rising cost of living, and once again the most vulnerable groups in society are affected by evictions. The social movement Reclaim the City (RTC) emerged in 2017 to demand social and affordable housing in the inner circle of Cape Town. RTC is supported by the non-governmental organization Ndifuna Ukwazi. Using an actor-centred approach, th…
Housing as a Battlefield Between Self‐Organization and Resistance
Cities are a place of transformation, since cities are being challenged through various processes, among them gentrification. Likewise, cities are a space for innovation and new solutions, as many changes start locally. Reclaim the City is one such local movement: It is a response to weak statehood which results in a limited ability to solve the housing crisis and the continuation of spatial segregation in Cape Town. Gentrification deepens the ho…
Local Self‐Governance and Weak Statehood
This thematic issue addresses the relationship between local self-governance and the state. Self-governance is understood as the rules that emerge in the local social and spatial context. Local self-governance of individual local groups, actors, communities, and their social and institutional arrangements are considered. From this situated collective entanglement, the interactions and relations with state authorities are analysed in the various c…
African middle classness, politics and protest
Middle classes in the Global South have become topical. They were considered mainly by economists in development-oriented institutions and praised as a factor contributing to economic development and democratic forces. We recapitulate some of the trends and remind the reader of earlier debates. We take stock of the variety of contributions and point to the efforts to have a more nuanced look at the composition and orientations of ‘middle classes’…
Does Gender Play a Role
After the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, a heterogeneous protest movement emerged in Austria that managed to mobilize more than 20,000 people to protest against the prevention measures imposed by the government in February 2021. The preliminary results from the survey we conducted in January showed that an unusually large proportion of women participated in these protests. In this article, we aim at exploring the gendered aspects of the prote…
Imaginação, Descolonização E Interseccionalidade
Estudantes sul-africanos retornaram, desde 2015, à vanguarda das lutas dos movimentos sociais do país. Foi central para essa onda de disputas o movimento #RhodesMustFall (#RMF) na University of Cape Town (UCT), que se uniu a insurreições em universidades de todo o país, sob a bandeira #FeesMustFall, concentrando as demandas na abolição das mensalidades, na descolonização da educação e da sociedade, e no fim da exploração dos trabalhadores do camp…
A simple post-growth life
Utopias in Africa is an emerging academic field. While we are witnessing an increasing number of fictional and ideological utopias, little attention is paid to lived utopias. The Green Camp Gallery Project is such a lived utopia, which predominantly strives for realizing desired future imaginations in daily practices. Localized in the urban context of Durban (South Africa), in a derelict house in the industrial area, the Green Camp strives for a …
Contesting and reshaping learning spaces
Universities in South Africa are a microcosm of society and thus offer grounds for criticism. In 2015, the Rhodes Must Fall student movement emerged, which demanded decolonization. This movement became one of the most important social movements in post-apartheid South Africa. While the student movement was formed to protest against the university, students created a space for transformative learning within the frame of the university. This articl…
Spannungsfeld Umwelt – Aktivismus weltweit
Kartographie gelebter Ökotopien
Die Forschung zu Utopien erfährt neuerdings einen Aufschwung. Sie behandelt jedoch überwiegend fiktionale Sozialutopien. Konkrete utopische Praktiken im Sinne gelebter Utopien wurden dagegen noch kaum untersucht. Viele gelebte Utopien fokussieren auf das Mensch-Natur-Verhältnis. Der vorliegende Artikel fasst diese Praktiken als gelebte Ökotopien und schlägt eine Systematisierung entlang der Dimensionen von Grenzziehung, Temporalität und strategis…

Brüchige Allianzen. LSBTIQ Aktivismen im Kontext der intersektionalen und dekolonialen Praxis der südafrikanischen Studierendenbewegung
Am 9.3.2015 bewarf Chumani Maxwele die Statue von Cecil Rhodes am Universitätsgelände der University of Cape Town mit Fäkalien. Aus dem Unmut gegen die Präsenz des Kolonialisten Rhodes an der Universität und damit aus der Kritik an dieser diskriminierenden Erinnerungskultur entwickelte sich eine der größten sozialen Bewegungen Südafrikas seit der Überwindung der Apartheid. Die Studierenden forderten mit dem Rhodes Must Fall und später mit Fees Mu…
Civil society and social movements
The debate on different forms of political mobilization and self-organization in Africa refers to the established concepts of civil society and social movements. Knowing that the majority of studies on civil society and social movements focus on the Global North, we ask whether these concepts may be applied to Africa. We need to consider different forms of self-organization and the potential limits of the concepts. At the same time, 'unusual case…

Introduction
Discussions of globalization, world society and modernity are part and parcel of current social science. Why should we present yet another publication on these topics? A simple reason is that these debates are still going on, and new contributions sometimes emerge under new headings. More important is the observation that the debates tend to separate the two elements of the structure-agency nexus and often do not link empirical research to concep…
