Die Soziologie geht im Allgemeinen davon aus, dass die von ihr zu untersuchende Sozialwelt aus Menschen besteht – und zwar ausschließlich aus Menschen. Nicht zuletzt durch die Entwicklungen im Bereich künstliche Intelligenz geraten jedoch zunehmend nichtmenschliche Akteure in den Fokus der Aufmerksamkeit. Neben der KI sind dies etwa Tiere und Objekte, aber auch übernatürliche Wesen, die in vielen Kulturen ganz selbstverständlich zum Alltag gehören. So ist es an der Zeit, die Sozialwelt mit ihren unterschiedlichen Akteuren umfassender zu beschreiben, als dies bislang üblich war. Dies ist die Aufgabe des neuen integrativen Forschungsfeldes Intersoziologie.

Der Autor ist Partner bei der international tätigen Prüfungs- und Beratungsgesellschaft Deloitte. Seine Erfahrungen mit der Transformation tradierter Konzepte der Erwerbsarbeit in neue Formen der Beschäftigung (u.a. Gig- und Crowd-Working) kondensieren in dieser Bestandsaufnahme. Schwartz widerspricht ausdrücklich nicht den Befunden von Ökonomen wie K. Schwab oder M. Ford, die den millionenfachen Wegfall klassischer Industrie- und Büroarbeitsplätze weltweit durch den Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz und Robotik prognostizieren. Schwartz hält jedoch dagegen, dass diese Verluste durch neue, gut bezahlte und erfüllende Jobs kompensiert werden könnten, sofern Beschäftige, Führungskräfte und Politik eine offene, lernende und kreative Organisation menschlicher Arbeit ermöglichten. - Ergänzend zu Karriereratgebern wie S. Navidi .Dass die digitale Transformation wesentlich komplexer ist, beschreiben u.a. S. Kühner und I. Hanschke. Die Abgründe einer flexibilisierten Arbeitswelt zeigte zuletzt überaus eindringlich J.

Securitizing Youth offers new insights on young people's engagement in a wide range of contexts related to the peace and security field. It presents empirical findings on the challenges and opportunities faced by young women and men in their efforts to build more peaceful, inclusive, and environmentally secure societies. The chapters included in this edited volume examine the diversity and complexity of young people's engagement for peace and security in different countries across the globe and in different types and phases of conflict and violence, including both conflict-affected and relatively peaceful societies. Chapter contributors, young peacebuilders, and seasoned scholars and practitioners alike propose ways to support youth's agency and facilitate their meaningful participation in decision-making. The chapters are organized around five broad thematic issues that correspond to the 5 Pillars of Action identified by UN Security Council Resolution 2250. Lessons learned are intended to inform the global youth, peace, and security agenda so that it better responds to on-the-ground realities, hence promoting more sustainable and inclusive approaches to long-lasting peace.

"Embodied Archive focuses on perceptions of disability and racial difference in Mexico's early post-revolutionary period, from the 1920s to the 1940s. In this period, Mexican state-sponsored institutions charged with the education and health of the population sought to strengthen and improve the future of the nation, and to forge a more racially homogeneous sense of collective identity and history. Influenced by regional and global movements in eugenics and hygiene, Mexican educators, writers, physicians, and statesmen argued for the widespread physical and cognitive testing and categorization of schoolchildren, so as to produce an accurate and complete picture of "the Mexican child," and to carefully monitor and control forms of unwanted difference, including disability and racialized characteristics. Differences were not generally marked for eradication—as would be the case in eugenics movements in the US, Canada, and parts of Europe—but instead represented possible influences from a historically distant or immediate reproductive past, or served as warnings of potential danger haunting individual or collective futures.
Weaving between the historical context of Mexico's post-revolutionary period and our present-day world, Embodied Archive approaches literary and archival documents that include anti-alcohol and hygiene campaigns; projects in school architecture and psychopedagogy; biotypological studies of urban schoolchildren and indigenous populations; and literary approaches to futuristic utopias or violent pasts. It focuses in particular on the way disability is represented indirectly through factors that may have caused it in the past or may cause it in the future, or through perceptions and measurements that cannot fully capture it. In engaging with these narratives, the book proposes an archival encounter, a witnessing of past injustices and their implications for the disability of our present and future."
