Discute-se aqui a natureza interdisciplinar do campo das ciências da sustentabilidade. Por meio de uma análise histórica crítica da assim chamada racionalização da vida e da ciência, reconhece-se que o modelo de crescimento econômico que prevaleceu nos últimos séculos levou a uma separação nociva de nossos sistemas sociais dos sistemas naturais, que hoje é uma das causas da insustentabilidade. A mesma racionalização teria provocado a fragmentação do conhecimento em disciplinas cada vez mais especializadas, como parte de uma estrutura científica que não pode ser diretamente aplicada para tratar das urgentes questões socioambientais atuais. Argumenta-se que a interdisciplinaridade é a única resposta acadêmica capaz de alcançar a reintegração do conhecimento requerida para lidar com o paradigma da sustentabilidade, à medida que se busca a justa medida entre o que é essencial, desejável e possível, tanto dentro quanto fora da academia.

Skandale gehören zur medialen Tagesordnung: Korruptionsaffären, Doping im Sport oder Lebensmittelskandale. Der Skandal als soziales Phänomen ist nicht nur Medienthema, sondern stellt auch einen wichtigen Forschungsgegenstand in der Wissenschaft dar. Der Band vereint Beiträge internationaler Forscherinnen und Forscher zum Themenfeld "Skandal". Er präsentiert sowohl empirische Studien als auch theoretische Erkenntnisse, die 2016 bei der 1st International Conference in Scandalogy an der Universität Bamberg präsentiert wurden. Die Bandbreite reicht dabei von kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Studien bis hin zu literaturwissenschaftlichen Analysen. Die Vielzahl der Fächer, die sich mit dem sozialen Phänomen des Skandals beschäftigen, zeigt, dass "Skandalogie" ein eigenständiger Forschungsbereich ist.

As part of a special journal forum entitled "Swiss Political Sciences Review." In this article the author discusses about the Tilly's influence in social science research. Tilly's influence is also based on the interdisciplinary network that he build, particularly around a legendary workshop that he organized at the University of Michigan, at the New School for Social Research and at Columbia University, in the last phase called Workshop on Contentious Politics. Not least, Tilly's influence is indicated by the staggering amount of dissertation supervisions and dissertation committee memberships, reaching as far back to the dissertation committee of the prominent sociologist Richard Sennett at Harvard in the late 1960s. In recognition of his field transforming work and its enormous breadth, Tilly was awarded the Albert O. Hirschman Prize of the Social Science Research Council in 2008, several weeks before his death. This prize represented a capstone of his extraordinary career and a celebration of his service to social science. Kenneth Ngo
