Experiences and social constructions of loneliness in later life: Collaborative focus group discussions in Germany
BACKGROUND: Ageing in place (AIP) policies seek to address the growing demand for healthcare needs among ageing populations. Loneliness has been identified as a challenge to AIP, as the number of people living alone at home is growing. OBJECTIVE: To understand older adults' perspectives on loneliness associated with AIP and to use these insights to inform health professional practice and health policy for the development of patient-centered solut…
Parrying Diversity-Hostility and Ethical Dilemmas of Organizing Inclusion
Many countries of the Global North are currently facing a strong rise in anti-diversity movements fueled by conservative, right-wing parties and authoritarian, probably fascist regimes, which also affects the workplace. However, organizations are insufficiently equipped to deal with increasing diversity-hostility since most policy approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) focus on promotion- and/or prevention-oriented measures. What is…
Digital platforms and democratic publics: How social media platforms selectively appropriate and strategically subvert institutional logics
Hört die Signa(le): Rechtspolitische Fragen und Ableitungen aus dem Fall der Signa-Gruppe
Der Fall Signa geht als bislang größte Insolvenz der zweiten Republik in die Geschichte ein. Dieser Beitrag zeichnet Erfolg und Zusammenbruch des Konglomerats nach und offenbart dadurch eine Intransparenzstrategie, die systematischer Bestandteil des Geschäftsmodells war. Ohnehin geringe Transparenzpflichten wurden teilweise gezielt unterlaufen. Um trotz der Intransparenz für Investoren attraktiv zu sein, wurden diesen fallweise Verkaufsoptionen e…
The structural transformation of the scientific public sphere: Constitution and consequences of the path towards open access
We are currently witnessing a fundamental structural transformation of the scientific public sphere, characterized by processes of specialization, metrification, internationalization, platformization and visibilization. In contrast to explanations of this structural transformation that invoke a technological determinism, we demonstrate its historical contingency by drawing on analytic concepts from organization theory and the case of the Open Acc…
Wie offen sind „offene“ Online-Gemeinschaften? Inklusion, Exklusion und die Ambivalenz von Schließungen
Nach anfänglichem Fokus auf die vermeintlich grenzenlose Offenheit des Internets sowie von onlinebasierten Gemeinschaften im Speziellen sind mittlerweile exkludierende Effekte von „offenen“ Online-Plattformen stärker ins Zentrum soziologischer Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. So zeigt sich auch in als dezidiert offen markierten Online-Gemeinschaften, wie im Bereich der Open-Source-Software oder im Kontext der Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia, ein Mangel an D…
Memes as games: The evolution of a digital discourse online
This study proposes a theoretical framework for understanding how and why certain memes prevail as a form of political discourse online. Since memes are constantly changing as they spread, drawing inferences from a population of memes as concrete digital artifacts is a pressing challenge for researchers. This article argues that meme selection and mutation are driven by a cooperative combination of three types of communication logic: wasteful pla…
Politics of Disclosure: Organizational Transparency as Multiactor Negotiation
Transparency is in vogue, yet it is often used as an umbrella concept for a wide array of phenomena. More focused concepts are needed to understand the form and function of different phenomena of visibility. In this article, the authors define organizational transparency as systematic disclosure programs that meet the information needs of other actors. Organizational transparency, they argue, is best studied as an interorganizational negotiation …
Framing standards, mobilizing users: Copyright versus fair use in transnational regulation
Following the agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) intellectual property rights, and more specifically copyright, have become the subject of highly politicized conflicts. In this paper we analyze how these conflicts shifted from the political arena to private standard-setting sites, where two opposing coalitions of actors pursued competing initiatives – an industry coalition which aimed at enforcing copyright…
A Guide to Paradigmatic Self-Marginalization: Lessons for Post-Keynesian Economists
While many heterodox economists hope that the recent financial crisis will lead to paradigmatic change in economics, we argue that path-dependent processes and institutional factors within the economic community hinder such a change. Focusing on the citation behavior of economists in heterodox journals in general and in Post-Keynesian journals in particular, we discuss structural reasons—connected to positive feedback mechanisms within the instit…
