Marxism as a Prototype for Grand Theories of Society
A majority of the most influential grand theories in the social sciences was produced in the time from the 1960s to the 1990s. The generational dynamic of the Cold War debate on Marxism accounts for this timing. Academic engagement with Marxism is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Until well into the middle of the twentieth century, accounts of Marxism in academia were dominated by anti-Marxist scholars, who considered historical materialism to …

Introduction to Special Issue
Biodiversity as a Conceptual Tool for Science Communication
Few scientific concepts have the same amount of public resonance as the notion of biodiversity. The article traces the creation of this relatively new concept and its impact on scientific research. I show, based on archival documents, that the neologism was coined in the mid-1980s by conservation biologists connected to the US National Committee of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program to buffer the adverse economic impacts of an announced wit…
Shai M Dromi and Samuel D Stabler, Moral Minefields
Value change and the pragmatist theory of morality
Knowing America
Paper Tools and the Sociological Imagination
Building a global scientific community
The three volumes reviewed in this essay assemble over 40 case studies written by more than 50 contributors that trace the development of the social sciences and humanities in Europe (East and West) and a number of countries in Latin America, North Africa, and East Asia. Two of these volumes grew out of the European research project ‘International Cooperation in the Social Sciences and Humanities’ (INTERCO-SSH); the third volume extends the focus…
Lost Souls
Moral Entanglements
Apocalypse adjourned
Nuclear energy was a defining topic of German environmentalism from the 1970s to 1990s. An analysis of the transformation of Naturschutzbund Deutschland (NABU) shows that anti-nuclear protests, which are frequently depicted as a prototypical example of ‘new’ social movement activism, were only a temporary phenomenon. From the 1970s, NABU gradually transformed from a traditional nature conservation organization into an environmental lobby organiza…
The Sociology of Morality as Ecology of Mind
The article engages in a comparative analysis of efforts to pass international legislation for the conservation of wild birds in turn-of-the-century Europe. Obstacles to this project were not merely incompatible laws already existing in the involved countries, but the different ways of relating economic, moral, and aesthetic evaluations of wildlife to each other. Focusing on the stark differences between German and British approaches to the topic…

Theory for the Working Sociologist
Anthropology at War
The concept of culture used in American anthropology has fundamentally transformed throughout the first half of the twentieth century. The changing resonance of the work of Robert H. Lowie offers revealing insights into this development. Lowie was part of the first generation of students of Franz Boas that highlighted the importance of individual variation for the study of both primitive and civilized societies. Yet, its initial resonance notwith…
The invention of theory
Conserving the future
This chapter investigates the conceptions of nature enacted by the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) program set up by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The initial rationale of the MAB program as providing field laboratories for sustainable development is described. It examines how the reserves were selected in practice and what kind of spaces were most likely to be recognized as biosphere reserves. Finally…
The Fools of the Leisure Class. Honor, Ridicule, and the Emergence of Animal Protection Legislation in England, 1740-1840
The article analyzes the emergence of moral concern for animals in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century England. This concern was fuelled by a developing aristocratic discourse on civility that was accompanied by a drastic increase in the factual visibility of violence inflicted on animals in the growing cities. In opposition to interpretations based on the concepts of discipline and distinction, the article elaborates the way in which th…
