What is it Like to Evolve? Cultural Evolution as a Lived Experience
The evolution of human culture continues to divide social and biological science. Key issues for both sides are the complexity and variability of culture, the frequency of cultural traits that have no adaptive or functional value, and the apparent exceptionality of human creativity and rationality. This article argues that an examination of how evolution affects the lifetime experience of evolution can reconcile these features of human culture wi…

Kapital, Ideologie und Gesellschaftsstruktur
Origins of Inequality in Human Societies
Since the beginning of social life human societies have faced the problem how to distribute the results of collaborative activities among the participants. The solutions they found ranged from egalitarian to unequal but caused more dissension and conflict than just about any other social structure in human history. Social inequality also dominated the agenda of the new field of sociology in the 19th century. The theories developed during that tim…
Contingency, novelty and choice. Cultural evolution as internal selection
Sociological, economic and evolutionary paradigms of human agency have often seen social agents either as the rational controllers of their fate or as marionettes on the strings of historical, functional or adaptive necessity. They found it therefore difficult to account for the variability, intentionality and creativity of human behaviour and for its frequently redundant or harmful results. This paper argues that human agency is a product of evo…

To race and gender, everyone? Some thoughts on the future of research on social inequality
to race and gender, everyone? Some thoughts on the future of research on social inequality Bernd Baldus It is good to see a discussion of economic inequality return to the pages of the CJS (John Myles: "Where have all the sociologists gone?" Touraine (2003) and Hamel (2004) raise related issues). Myles is right. The diminished sociological interest in the subject stands in stark contrast to growing national and international disparities in the di…

The Culture Cult. Designer Tribalism and Other Essays
The Culture Cultis an acerbic critique of that longing widespread in society today to retreat from civilization. From Rousseau and the Noble Savage to modern defenders of ethnicity such as Isaiah Berlin and Karl Polanyi, a prominent intellectual tradition has over-romanticized the virtues of tribal life. In contrast, another tradition, represented by Karl Popper, Michael Polanyi, and Ernest Gellner, defends modern values and civil society. The Cu…
Darwin und die Soziologie / Darwin and Sociology
Obwohl kulturelle und biologische Evolution sich in vieler Hinsicht ähneln, steht die Soziologie evolutionären Erklärungen sozialen Verhaltens noch immer weitgehend ablehnend gegenüber. Ein Grund dafür ist, daß Darwins ursprüngliche Ideen in der Folge durch ein verengtes genetisches Modell der Evolution ersetzt wurden, das kulturelle Merkmale an ihren Reproduktionserfolg band und dem einzelnen Organismus nur eine passive Rolle im Evolutionsprozeß…
Critical Social Theories. An Introduction
Praised for its clarity and accessibility, this fully updated edition of Critical Social Theories presents a comprehensive analysis of leading social and cultural theories today. Diverse perspectives are addressed from feminism and cultural studies to postmodernism and critical theory. Written accessibly for students and faculty, the second edition includes new chapters on the need for a new public sociology in the post 9/11 era--one that moves b…

The Simulation of Surveillance
From the Publisher: An exploration of the imaginary of perceptual control technologies and how the revolution in simulation technology reconfigures and intensifies the role of surveillance in war, work, sexuality, and private life
Make Me Truthful, Good, and Mild
This paper examines values in textbooks used in Upper Canada/Ontario primary schools between 1846 and 1910. Value-oriented content was prominent in these books. Their focus on social class, work motivations, and general personal morality reflected closely political apprehensions of province's upper class. At same time, these fears were often based on erroneous assessments of Ontario society and led to values in schoolbooks which veered away from …
