Między obiektywnymi mitami a subiektywnymi odczuciami – refleksja nad przeżyciem kinowym w perspektywie socjologii przeżywania Simmla
This article sheds light on the experience which we share in the one and a half hours which we spend in the cinema. It discusses the experiences that are framed between the opening and the closing of the curtain that covers the screen. Thereby it reflects on the reasons for the success and importance of the cinema in modern and especially late modern society, on its meaning for us as individuals and for the webbing of our social bonds. By discuss…
Between temporalities, imaginaries and imagination: A framework for analysing futures
This article introduces a relational approach to studying imaginaries of the future, emphasising their significance in comprehending present realities and the ongoing processes that interweave our social fabric. It posits 'imaginaries of the future' as a pivotal sociological concept for understanding the reciprocal social influences and uneven structural dynamics shaping the present. This work engages in a theoretical discourse, spotlighting the …
Emotion memories and emotional expressions in autobiographical interviews
This article focuses on the fundamental role that emotion memories play in constructing autobiographical narrations. It suggests that the analysis of emotion memories can provide a deep insight into a variety of processes and fields of individual and social life (Cavarero, 2000). Based on the analysis of emotion memories in life-story interviews, this article will show the deep-rooted interrelatedness between the self and its social environment w…
Researching imaginaries of the future as a tool for engendering grounded utopias for individual and social transformation and empowerment in educational environments
This article is the result of a shared collaborative research project between the Oberstufen-Kolleg Bielefeld, the faculty of pedagogy of the University of Bielefeld and a research group based at the Open University of Catalonia (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya). It presents and discusses a human, sociological and pedagogical project in participatory action research, in which we sought to follow Appadurai’s call for research as a human right and …
Towards a sociology of emergency. Epidemics, biorisks, and the society of the Coronavirus
Over the last decade, the social agenda has been shaped by a continuous chain of potentially forthcoming future emergencies. Imagined, projected, and expected emergencies and crises have affected political and scientific agendas and redefined the pre-planning for risks at a local, national, and global level. Whilst most of these emergencies took place largely on an imaginary stage and never materialised – at least not with significant effects on …
Introduction. Simmel In/On Love
Simmel belongs without doubt among the classics of sociology. He dedicated his academic efforts to the foundation of sociology as a discipline and to the exploration and understanding of society at the beginning of the 20th century. With his unique approach he established both what we know as formal and as relational sociology. Formal sociology because he approached the analysis of society via social forms, relational sociology because he underst…

Imaginarios de no-futuro de los jóvenes: Mapeando futuros no deseados
Este artículo, fruto de una investigación sobre los “Imaginarios de futuro de los jóvenes”, se centra en los futuros que los jóvenes no desean tener que vivir. El objetivo del presente texto es, por tanto, un análisis de los futuros (explícitamente) no deseados. Para realizar esta investigación y elaborar un mapa relacional de los futuros no deseados de los jóvenes entre 15 y 18 años, hemos trabajado colaborativamente con tres centros de enseñanz…
Drones y epidemologia: La tecnologización de la vigilancia
This article wants to study drones as a new dispositive of bio-surveillance. The extension and speed of the expansion of infective diseases in a globalised society in which local outbreaks can quickly affect society all over the world makes new forms of bio-surveillance necessary. We have discovered in drones a new bio-dispositive that despite providing new forms and techniques of control reshapes the lines between sick and healthy and between su…
Love and Society: Special Social Forms and the Master Emotion
Why does love matter? Love and Society discusses the meaning and importance of love for contemporary society. Love is not only an emotion that occurs in our intimate relationships; it is a special emotion that allows us to relate to each other in a lasting fashion, to create out of our individual pasts a shared past, which enables us to project a shared future. Bringing together the idea of Simmel’s second order forms with theories of love, this …
Love and Society: Special Social Forms and the Master Emotion
Is Romantic Love a Linking Emotion
This article aims to provide a contribution to the debate about concepts that describe the empirically rich phenomenon 'romantic love'. The great variety of different facets of romantic love that exist and that we encountered in over 100 qualitative interviews and 4 focus group discussions carried out in Spain (Barcelona) and Germany (Leipzig) have inspired us to rethink existing definitions of romantic love. Rather than emotion or bond, the conc…
How elders evaluate apps: A contribution to the study of smartphones and to the analysis of the usefulness and accessibility of ICTS for older adults
Elders are an important part of this society and a group for which ICTs might provide useful answers to existing problems and needs. However, elders and their interests with regard to ICTs have been largely ignored due to a presupposed missing ability to use, a general disinterest in, and a lack of will to learn about ICT developments. This article wants to contribute to the debate about elders and their abilities to use and interests in ICTs. We…
Between reality and imagination, between you and me: Emotions and daydreaming in times of electronic communication
This article focuses on the analysis of daydreams and fantasies people have regarding their partnerships in ‘non-moments’, moments in which we have time to take a break or to daydream. This article makes a strong case for the relevance of the shift from the isolation experienced within these ‘non-moments’ towards an altered experience of this isolation, which has been moulded and partially broken by the possibility to share our dreams in real tim…
Desired images, regulating figures, constructed imaginaries: The future as an apriority for society to be possible
This article deals with the future as a crucial element for the webbing of our individual and social life. In accordance with Simmel's reflections on the apriorities for the very possibility of society, the authors maintain that the webbing of society as we know it would not be possible without its members imagining at least some kind of future. To illustrate the importance of the future for webbing any kind of social relationship, and in order t…
Ana's Friends. Friendship in Online Pro-Ana Communities
The objective of this article is to analyse the social relationships within online communities of anorectics, their bonds, their emotions and friendships, and their subsequent relation to anorexia nervosa. The research has focused on their blogs and their forums, which create a space in which they share their experiences, and sometimes encourage each other not to give up on their eating disorder - which they view as an illness, but an illness tha…
