Menstrual Blood
For centuries, theologians have sought to understand the meaning and significance of Christ’s death. However, the current motifs and interpretations of the atonement have constrained Christology by situating Christ within a paradigm of domination and subordination. I propose that the “inferior” porous and excessively moist female body—as presumed by Greco-Roman classicists and early Christian writers—expresses the unboundaried, mutual, self-givin…
Auf der Suche nach Grünwald und Grunewald
Bislang haben sich hiesige Soziolog:innen unzureichend mit Räumen des Reichtums befasst. Auf der Basis einer kritischen Analyse internationaler Literatur lädt dieser Beitrag zu einer soziologischen Erforschung der Wohngebiete am oberen Ende der Sozialstruktur in Deutschland ein. Insbesondere stellt der Beitrag drei vielversprechende Perspektiven heraus: den ethnographischen Blick, den historischen Blick und den relationalen Blick
Der Supermarkt als pandemischer Raum
Der Artikel geht Rekonfigurationen des Supermarkts als zentralem (halb-)öffentlichen Bezugspunkt der Alltagspraxis im Zuge der Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Verbreitung des Corona-Virus im Frühjahr 2020 nach. Das Hereinbrechen der Pandemie hat öffentliche Räume nicht nur aufgrund der permanenten Konfrontation mit dem Ansteckungsrisiko mit dem Virus verändert, sondern auch affektive Ansteckungsdynamiken freigesetzt, die im Raum des Supermarktes bes…
Hierarchy and inequality in research
Research as a social practice enacts social hierarchies in the relation between researcher and the researched. Taking up the critique of the consequences of such hierarchies in the production of knowledge, participatory methods aim to decolonize this power relation. This article contributes to this topic by discussing limits of participation, highlighting the often unexpected reemergence of power and hierarchies in a leveled research field. We ta…
Working Class Experiences of Social Inequalities in (Post-) Industrial Landscapes
Based on qualitative research among industrial workers in a region that has undergone deindustrialisation and transformation to a service-based economy, this book examines the loss of status among former manual labourers. Focus lies on their emotional experiences, nostalgic memories, hauntings from the past and attachments to their former places of work, to transformed neighbourhoods, as well as to public space. Against this background the book e…
Eine soziologische Unschärferelation
Problematisiert wird, dass der Aufsatz von Revers und Traunmüller Erkenntnisinteresse und Positionalität der durchgeführten Forschung verschleiert. Eine Offenlegung wäre notwendig, um die Grundlagen der schwerwiegenden methodischen Probleme, der Fallauswahl und der unbelegten Behauptungen des Aufsatzes verstehen zu können. Im Widerspruch zu der falschen Annahme, dass Meinungsfreiheit grenzenlos sei und auch mit einer Freiheit einhergehe, andere z…
Transformed landscapes and a transnational identity of class
Based on 222 qualitative interviews conducted through a large ethnographic research project on transformed industrial landscapes in six countries, the main argument of the article is threefold. First, landscapes and narratives about past and present landscapes are relevant to the identity of class; second, the transformation of industrial landscapes is most emphatically expressed by nostalgia; third, the narratives are a transnationally constitut…
Central Business District
The central business district (CBD) is the area within a city that functions as the center of business and finance. It is characterized by an above average spatial concentration of tall office buildings with corporate headquarters and financial institutions. CBDs also include important cultural and political institutions in addition to businesses with a more recreational function, such as hotels and restaurants. Most of the employees commute into…

Transformations of Public Space and the Limits of Resistance in Biographic Narratives of Workers
This essay analyses biographic memories of practices of resistance of workers in the industrial transformation region in the south of Nuremberg. These memories are marked by a nostalgic view of public space in former times, which is put in contrast with public space as it is today. While former practices of resistance are remembered with nostalgia, present-day resistance practices are described as threatening practices performed by others. It tur…
The Limits of Resistance in Public Spaces
Resistance in Public Spaces
What are the limits of resistance in public spaces? Academic representations of acts of resistance often exclusively look at the acts themselves, focusing on performers or participants, but neglecting passers-by. How do these passers-by connect (or not) to these acts and their aesthetics? What about after the action is over and the participants have left? What about effects at sites distant from where the practices of resistance took place? This …
Dwelling in mobile times
Mobile people dwell in local environments. The present special issue considers the relation between mobility and dwelling. This introduction to the special issue on ‘(Im)mobilities of dwelling: Places and practices’ provides a general introduction to places and practices of dwelling of highly mobile people and discusses why it is a promising subject for both cultural and mobilities studies that still needs to be addressed in its full theoretical …
Dwelling in different localities
Besides being mobile, migrant professionals dwell at specific localities. It is in this article that identity performances of one social group with equal identity dimensions, white, male German financial manager, are compared in two different local contexts of their dwelling: in the City of London and in the Central Business District of Singapore. This article demonstrates that by comparing similar social groups in different localities, the effec…
The narratives of hardship
This paper examines poverty and hardship in Europe after the 2008 crisis, using household interviews in nine European countries. A number of findings deserve highlighting. First, making a distinction between ‘the old poor’ (those who lived in poverty before as well as after the crisis) and ‘the new poor’ (those who fell into hardship after the crisis), we show that hardship is experienced quite differently by these groups. Second, the household n…
Metalworkers' nostalgic memories and optimistic official representations of a transformed industrial landscape

Encounters with haunted industrial workplaces and emotions of loss
This article is about the relevance of social class within emotional geography. Based on life history interviews with former metalworkers in Bavaria, it analyses their identity-related sense of place and the feelings of loss they experience when encountering their former places of work. By concentrating on the perspective of those who have worked on industrial sites, and their encounters with those sites, now transformed, this article focuses on …
Everyone knew everyone
This article explores the transformation of a community and its diversity as narrated by former industrial workers from a neighbourhood in Nuremberg, in a context in which company-based social housing of workers had been replaced by private rented accommodation accessed by middle class residents of migrant backgrounds. In biographical interviews, narratives emerge in which diversity and social difference are not seen as ethnic difference, but rat…
