Nonetheless, in public debates, surveillance technologies are still confronted with issues of privacy, and privacy therefore endures as an empirical subject of research on surveillance. Drawing from our analysis of public discourse of so-called smart closed-circuit television (CCTV) in Germany, we propose to use a sociology of knowledge perspective to analyze privacy in order to understand how it is socially constructed and negotiated. Our data comprise 117 documents, covering all publicly available documents between 2006 and 2010 that we were able to obtain. We found privacy to be the only form of critique in the struggle for the legitimate definition of smart CCTV. In this paper, we discuss the implications our preliminary findings have for the relationship between privacy issues and surveillance technology and conclude with suggestions of how this relationship might be further investigated as paradoxical, yet constitutive.}, language = {en} } @misc{Hartmann2013, author = {Hartmann, Eddie}, title = {Social order and violence. - commenting on recent literature on research of violence}, series = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, volume = {23}, journal = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {0863-1808}, doi = {10.1007/s11609-013-0211-x}, pages = {115 -- 131}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{Mackert2013, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Towards a sociological explanation of violence in conflicts of social orders}, series = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, volume = {23}, journal = {Berliner Journal f{\"u}r Soziologie = Journal de sociologie de Berlin}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {0863-1808}, doi = {10.1007/s11609-013-0210-y}, pages = {91 -- 113}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The article argues that the uprisings during the Arab Spring as well as the riots in either the banlieues of French cities or in London have to be considered as violent conflicts that pose a serious threat to the social orders in which they emerge. These different kinds of social resistance have in common that they communicate more or less developed alternative conceptions of social orders that challenge what has been considered legitimate so far. Until now, sociology has neither successfully explained such kinds of conflicts nor the way they are triggered. Therefore, the article discusses crucial problems of a sociology of violence, i.e. violence as term and concept, theoretical and methodological deficits and, finally, assumptions about the role of violence in conflict-ridden processes of modernization and civilization in general. The article argues that a sociology of violence should concentrate on the nexus of social order and violence in order to explain how and why violent conflicts emerge in specific social contexts. Thus, a sociology of violence should take an effort to reconstruct the crucial social mechanisms that underlie the dynamics of emerging violence in processes of production and reproduction of social order.}, language = {de} } @article{KlenkPieper2013, author = {Klenk, Tanja and Pieper, Jonas}, title = {Accountability in a privatized welfare state the case of the german hospital market}, series = {Administration \& society}, volume = {45}, journal = {Administration \& society}, number = {3}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {0095-3997}, doi = {10.1177/0095399712451890}, pages = {326 -- 356}, year = {2013}, abstract = {One of the most striking features of recent public sector reform in Europe is privatization.

One solution could be a legislative procedure that selects one member from the eligible set of inconclusively justified proposals. Yet if liberal principles are too vague to select sufficiently specific legislative proposals, can they, nevertheless, select specific legislative procedures? Based on the work of Gerald Gaus, this article argues that the only candidate for a conclusively justified decision procedure is a majoritarian or otherwise 'neutral' democracy. If the justification of democracy requires an equality baseline in the design of political regimes and if justifications for departure from this baseline are subject to reasonable disagreement, a majoritarian design is justified by default. Gaus's own preference for super-majoritarian procedures is based on disputable specifications of justified liberal principles. These procedures can only be defended as a sectarian preference if the equality baseline is rejected, but then it is not clear how the set of justifiable political regimes can be restricted to full democracies.}, language = {en} } @article{Doelling2013, author = {D{\"o}lling, Irene}, title = {30 Years of feminist studies how do we deal with the feminist Heritage?}, series = {Feministische Studien : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r interdisziplin{\"a}re Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung}, volume = {31}, journal = {Feministische Studien : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r interdisziplin{\"a}re Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung}, number = {1}, publisher = {Lucius \& Lucius}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0723-5186}, pages = {29 -- 34}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{Ganghof2013, author = {Ganghof, Steffen}, title = {Equality-based comparison how to justify democratic institutions in the Real World}, series = {Politics}, volume = {33}, journal = {Politics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0263-3957}, doi = {10.1111/1467-9256.12002}, pages = {101 -- 111}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Political scientists regularly justify particular democratic institutions.

Owing to the non-stationarity of job search behavior, we find heterogeneous effects of extended benefit duration on the re-employment hazard and on job match quality. Our results suggest that the unemployed who find a job close to and after benefit exhaustion experience less stable employment patterns and receive lower re-employment wages compared to their counterparts who receive extended benefits and exit unemployment in the same period.

The exchanges of information, debate and their consequences between an actor and a forum are crucial to understanding how political-administrative action is carried out in critical situations.
