  • Like magazines – but different! Fanzines as bricolaged media

    Open AccessSabina Fazli, Christian SchmidtARTICLEDIY Alternative Cultures & Society2026

    This article is an English translation of a chapter originally published in 2017 by zine scholar Christian Schmidt (†), written as part of an edited volume examining the outcomes of a research project on youth cultures and bricolage. In this contribution, Schmidt offers a critical introduction to the fanzine as a distinct medium. He challenges definitions that position fanzines primarily as oppositional and utopian, arguing instead that such char…

  • Literarisches Hexenwesen zur Zeit der Verfolgungen und Prozesse

    Open AccessChristian SchmidtARTICLEDeutsche Vierteljahrsschrift für…2026

    Der Beitrag hinterfragt die Einschätzung, dass das Hexenwesen in der deutschen Literatur zur Zeit der Verfolgungen und Prozesse im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert nur vereinzelt begegnet. Der kumulative Hexereibegriff, der die Auffassung des crimen magiae seit dem 15. Jahrhundert bestimmt, übt vielmehr eine Zentrierungswirkung auf das literarische Feld aus: Verschiedenartige mit Zauberei verbundene Stoffe und Figuren biblischer, pagan-antiker oder mittel…

  • Barriers to plastic monitoring in freshwaters in the Global South

    Open AccessSabrina Kirschke, Tim van Emmerik et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2023References: 4

    Plastics in freshwaters are a major problem for socio-ecological systems, calling upon smart policies for its solution. At the same time, there is a lack of relevant monitoring data on plastics in freshwaters to design such policies, specifically in the so-called Global South. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the complex barriers to mo-nitoring plastics in freshwaters in example cases of the Global South, as a starting point for more tailor…

  • Valuation of sector‐switching and politicization in the governance of corporatized public services

    Open AccessUlf Papenfuß, Christian Schmidt et al.ARTICLEGovernance2023Cited by: 3References: 69

    Corporatization has great potential for public service provision, but governments face severe challenges in recruiting executive directors (EDs) with relevant human capital. Debates arise about the roles of sector‐switching and politicization in public corporation governance, but a critical research gap exists. ED pay (EDP) is a crucial governance factor and signifies the valuation of ED human capital. This study links debates on sector‐switching…

  • Introduction: Axel Honneth's 'The Working Sovereign

    Open AccessChristian Schmidt, R Jaeggi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Classical Sociology2023

    In his 2021 Walter Benjamin Lectures, Axel Honneth questioned the displacement of work from the center of contemporary political theories. This special issue collects an interview with Axel Honneth on central theses of his lectures and a number of commentaries that discuss issues like Honneth's extended definition of work, his inclusion of long neglected care activities in the definition of work, the requirements for non-detrimental, meaningful w…

  • What we may expect from work

    Open AccessChristian SchmidtARTICLEJournal of Classical Sociology2023References: 3

    In his critique of contemporary working conditions, Axel Honneth rejects Marx's concept of alienation for three main reasons: (1) The concept is allegedly tied to industrial labor as the standard model of work. (2) The ideal of unalienated labor seems to be too demanding in its aspiration to the full development of all human potential. (3) The level of analysis is so fundamental that the critique loses the 'ends in view,' that is, the feasible al…

  • Japanese neologisms in Chinese

    Christian Schmidt, Chien-shou ChenARTICLELexicography2022

    Japanese loanwords in Chinese are currently not accepted as legitimate loanwords in the general loanword framework (Haspelmath and Tadmor, 2009a), mainly because they are considered to be graphic loans (Masini, 1997; Tranter, 2009) and not sound-meaning borrowings. This paper formulates a counterargument, developed mainly from the perspective of the Chinese scholarship: it focuses on how graphemic borrowing impacts the judgment of loanwordness an…

  • Perceived Access to Health Care Services and Relevance of Telemedicine during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Germany

    Open AccessLukas Reitzle, Christian Schmidt et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    During the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, non-pharmaceutical interventions were imposed to contain the spread of the virus. Based on cross-sectional waves in March, July and December 2020 of the COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO), the present study investigated the impact of the introduced measures on the perceived access to health care. Additionally, for the wave in December, treatment occasion as well as utilization and satisfaction regarding …

  • Personnel governance of corporatized public services: Effects of executive resources and corporation forms on turnover

    Open AccessUlf Papenfuß, Christian Schmidt et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2021Cited by: 3References: 16

    Corporatization has potentials for public service provision but also induces far‐reaching governance challenges. Appointing executives for public corporations is a powerful personnel governance mechanism for public authorities to manage public service provision and resource dependencies. However, the theoretical understanding of executive turnover is limited. Drawing on resource dependence theory and embedding publicness fit perspectives, Cox reg…

  • Understanding self‐regulation for political control and policymaking: Effects of governance mechanisms on accountability

    Open AccessUlf Papenfuß, Christian Schmidt et al.ARTICLEGovernance2021Cited by: 8References: 57

    Self‐regulation has become a crucial governance mechanism for policymaking and political control. Although governments have increasingly implemented self‐regulation, its effects are under‐researched. International policymakers highlight the role of self‐regulation in extending accountability and political control of state‐owned enterprises (SOEs). A key accountability area—attracting widespread public interest—is the level of executive directors'…

  • Institutionen und die paradoxen Ansprüche der Moderne

    Open AccessJean-François Kervégan, Jean‐François Kervégan et al.ARTICLETrivium2021References: 9

    Institutionen sind die Form, die Macht in modernen, ausdifferenzierten Gesellschaften annimmt. Auch wenn den heutigen Sozialwissenschaften der allgegenwärtige Begriff »Institution« nicht ganz geheuer ist, weil er als allzu vage und vieldeutig gilt, besteht in ihnen doch Einigkeit darüber, dass Institutionen – sei es durch Rollenvorgaben, sei es durch Organisationsstrukturen oder sei es ganz banal durch Sanktionsdrohungen – menschliches Handeln un…

Mme si les sciences sociales d'aujourd'hui ne sont pas trs l'aise avec ce concept omniprsent, trop vague et trop polysmique leur got, elles sont pourtant unanimes considrer que les institutions -que ce soit par l'attribution de rles, par la structuration organisationnelle ou trs banalement par des menaces de sanctiondirigent l'agir et le jugement humain dans…

  • Lexicography for loanwords and words with special orthography: Loanwords in Modern Standard Chinese

    Open AccessChristian Schmidt, Chen Jien-shouARTICLELexicography2020

    Loanwords in Modern Standard Chinese have attracted increasing attention in recent years. We try to unravel the complexity that stems from the properties of the Chinese writing system itself, its variant systems (Japanese Kanji), the rich history of the Chinese lexicon, and its interactions with neighboring languages. We argue that the status of a loanword is not binary, but rather dynamic on a developmental continuum, due to the various intentio…

  • Die fragwürdig gewordene Revolution: Philosophische Analysen einer einstmaligen Selbstverständlichkeit

    Christian SchmidtARTICLEPhilosophische Rundschau2019

    Im Rückblick auf die zwar siegreiche, letztlich aber doch gescheiterte Revolution in Russland 1917 ist für die heutigen Philosophien radikalen Neuanfangs die Revolution zum Problem geworden. Untersucht werden die Modelle und grundsätzlichen Möglichkeiten des Übergangs vom vor- zum nachrevolutionären Gesellschaftszustand. Dabei wird Revolution als ein Prozess der Veränderung von Urteilen, Beziehungsweisen oder Praktiken analysiert, der nicht länge…

  • Export of Plastic Debris by Rivers into the Sea

    Christian Schmidt, Tobias Krauth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Technology2017

    A substantial fraction of marine plastic debris originates from land-based sources and rivers potentially act as a major transport pathway for all sizes of plastic debris. We analyzed a global compilation of data on plastic debris in the water column across a wide range of river sizes. Plastic debris loads, both microplastic (particles 5 mm) are positively related to the mismanaged plastic waste (MMPW) generated in the river catchments. This rela…

  • Optimal Commuting and Migration Decisions under Commuting Cost Uncertainty

    Open AccessChristian SchmidtARTICLEUrban Studies2014Cited by: 3References: 24

    The aim of this paper is to assess the implications of economic uncertainty on individual mobility behaviour at the local and regional levels. Focusing especially on uncertainty with respect to the evolution of commuting costs, a model is developed that describes the interrelated decisions of residential choice and the appropriate type of mobility connecting workplace and residence. Results indicate that higher uncertainty about commuting costs i…

  • First Records of the Arctic Moth Gynaephora groenlandica (Wocke) South of the Arctic Circle: A New Alpine Subspecies

    Open AccessIsabel C Barrio, Christian Schmidt et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2013

    Two adjacent populations of the Arctic moth Gynaephora groenlandica, a High Arctic endemic species, were found in southwest Yukon, ca. 900 km south of the species’ described distribution. Species identification was based on larval morphology for one population and on larvae rearing and DNA barcoding for the other. All three approaches clearly separated G. groenlandica from the closely related and frequently sympatric G. rossii. These records repr…

  • Basking in projected glory: The role of subjective temporal distance in future self‐appraisal

    Open AccessAnne Wilson, Anne E Wilson et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2012Cited by: 5References: 42

    We examined the role of subjective temporal distance in people's future self‐predictions. Consistent with temporal self‐appraisal theory, we hypothesized that people would be motivated to evaluate future selves more favorably when they felt closer in time, because subjectively close future selves have more direct implications for current identity than do subjectively distant future selves. Subjective temporal distance of a future self was manipul…

    Open AccessChristian SchmidtARTICLEBehemoth2009

    The modern understanding of autonomy (at least in its strong version) often includes the idea of selflegislation. As was paradigmatically the case for the French Revolution, self-legislation was considered as ideally neither bound by tradition nor by existing institutions. But some contemporary political theorists of the bourgeois revolutions (including Hobbes and Burke) felt uneasy about the loss of order and therefore tried to dispense with the…
