Hearts in their hands-Physicians' gestures embodying shared professional knowledge around the world
The biomedical approach to medical knowledge is widely accepted around the world. This article considers whether the incorporated aspects of physician-patient interaction have become similarly common across the globe by comparing the gestures that physicians use in their interactions with patients. Up to this point, there has been little research on physicians' use of gestures in health-care settings. We explore how-in four university hospitals i…
Migration und Polizei
This anthology presents the results of a research project that used qualitative empirical methods to analyse processes of institutional change with which the police respond to migration-related challenges. The contributions the book contains deal with diversity management concerning police personnel. They study how the police’s organisational culture responds to migration-related challenges. The book’s findings show that decades of migration have…
Grenzsoziologie
Soziologie - Sociology in the German-Speaking World
This book provides the first systematic overview of German sociology today. Thirty-four chapters review current trends, relate them to international discussions and discuss perspectives for future research. The contributions span the whole range of sociological research topics, from social inequality to the sociology of body and space, addressing pressing questions in sociological theory and innovative research methods. TOC: Introduction Culture …
Theorizing societalization across borders
The editorial summarizes the main conceptual and epistemological challenges of theorizing on society across borders. Its particular aim is to initiate the dialogue between theories of society and cross-border studies that address global, transnational and postcolonial relations. In essence, this special issue addresses four interrelated concerns of studying societal processes across borders. The first of these concerns is prompted by a decades-ol…
Re-thinking society
Globalization and cross-border studies have changed the ways in which sociological theorists think about space. Rather than viewing society as integrated, placing individual and collective actors in clearly bounded spaces nested within each other, this article combines several differentiation theories of society as a first step towards achieving an abstract language that can account for a plurality of comprehensive social contexts, thus relating …
Soziale Aufstiege durch Migration
Eine Analyse globaler Ungleichheiten kann nicht im Rahmen des Nationalstaats erfolgen. Zentral ist vielmehr das Verhältnis zwischen den Ressourcen von Personen und den vielfältigen – auch transnationalen – Kontexten, in denen die Ressourcen Wert gewinnen. Der Artikel zeigt an Fallvergleichen zwischen Süd-Nord-Migrant_innen, die ihre soziale Lage im Zuge der Migration deutlich verbessern konnten, wie diese an eine Vielzahl von Kontexten anschließe…
Becoming a refugee. A life-course approach to migration under duress
This article offers a sociological approach to the ongoing debate about the distinction between refugees and migrants. It adopts a life-course perspective on seeking refuge. Seeking refuge is embedded not only in the legal regimes of refugee protection, but also in other institutional frameworks governing the life-course. Exploring continuities between migrants and refugees allows for a better understanding of whether and under what preconditions…
Sociological Theories of Global Inequalities
Understanding physicians’ professional knowledge and practice in research on skilled migration
Research on the integration of migrant professionals into high-skilled labor markets either focuses on differences between nation states which may be exacerbated by national closure or it celebrates the global versatility of professional knowledge, especially in the natural and health sciences. Building on a pragmatist approach to professional knowledge, the article argues that professional knowledge should not be seen as either universal or loca…
Work in Transition
Despite the fact that many countries target highly skilled migrants for recruitment in the global labour market, few of those migrants are able to take full advantage of their educational and professional qualifications in their new homes. Work in Transition examines this paradox, using extended narrative interviews that focus on the role that cultural capital plays in the labour market.Comparing the migrant experience in Germany, Canada, and Tur…

Transnationalisierung Sozialer Ungleichheit
Hoch qualifizierte MigrantInnen. Der Kern einer transnationalen Mittelklasse
"Bestimmte Formen des kulturellen Kapitals sind weltweit so gefragt, dass sich die soziale Lage entsprechend qualifizierter MigrantInnen über Ländergrenzen hinweg angeglichen hat. Dieser Tendenz zur Transnationalisierung stehen nationalstaatliche Migrationsregime gegenüber, die auch höchstqualifizierte Migrant/innen ungleichstellen, je nachdem, ob sie einem statushohen oder –niedrigen Land zugerechnet werden. Die soziale Lage hochqualifizierter M…
The Transnationalization of Social Inequality
The sociology of inequality has focused on the nation-state frame. The article argues that methodological nationalism is increasingly inadequate in a globalizing world. Migrant populations cannot be located in only one nation-state. Labour markets, cultural capital and reciprocal relations have become partly transnational. Both issues can be integrated into a theory of social inequality, if spatial relations are given adequate consideration. The …
Kultur und Differenz in der Soziologie
Das Thema des diesjahrigen DGS-Kongresses war in mehrfacher Hinsicht gut gewahlt. »Soziale Ungleichheit« war bisher nicht explizit im Titel eines Soziologie-Kongresses erschienen, obwohl es sich um einen zentralen Gegenstand der Soziologie handelt. Dass sich ausgerechnet der erste Soziologiekongress, der in Munchen stattfindet, mit der Sozialen Ungleichheit beschaftigte, war passend, denn Munchen ist nicht nur eine der High-Tech-Zentralen Deutsch…
