Die Steuerungswende. Zur Möglichkeit einer nachhaltigen und demokratischen Wirtschaftsplanung im digitalen Zeitalter
No full textKritik des Kapitalismus. Schriften zu Philosophie, Ökonomie, Politik und Soziologie
No full textDie Ideen und Thesen von Karl Marx haben in den letzten Jahren sowohl in der öffentlichen Debatte als auch in der Wissenschaft eine Renaissance erfahren – weil der Kapitalismus sich global entfaltet hat, sein Versprechen sozialer Stabilität jedoch kaum noch einzulösen vermag. Einflussreich, kontrovers und wortmächtig wie vor und nach ihm nur wenige, schrieb Marx zugleich über Philosophie, Ökonomie, Politik und Soziologie. Die vorliegende Anthologie führt seine wichtigsten Texte zusammen, kommentiert sie einleitend und zeigt so, wie wichtig Marx für die Analyse auch des gegenwärtigen Kapitalismus ist
Designing work for agility and affect's measure
No full textToday, sensory and tracking technologies are being introduced into workplaces for self-managed wellness as well as productivity tracking, in ways Fredrick W. Taylor could only have dreamed of. This process merges wellness with productivity to measure and modulate the affective labour of resilience that is necessary to survive the turbulence of the widespread incorporation of the work design model called ‘agile’, in which workers are expected to take symbolic direction from machines.
In this chapter, the agile work design method is assessed critically from a Marxist feminist perspective, adapting a labour process theoretical commitment to studies of workplace control through..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Sozialökologischer Umbau der Weltwirtschaft oder Handelskrieg mit anderen Mitteln? Covid-19 und die Transformation globaler Produktionsnetzwerke
No full textDie Engpässe bei Atemschutzmasken und medizinischer Ausrüstung im Laufe der Covid-19-Krise haben eine grundlegende Diskussion über die Krisenanfälligkeit globaler Wertschöpfungsketten angestoßen. Hierbei stehen Forderungen nach einer Rückverlagerung der Fertigung (Reshoring), einer Diversifizierung der Lieferketten und dem Aufbau von Lagerbeständen bzw. Sicherheitspuffern im Mittelpunkt. Der Beitrag hinterfragt die Grundannahmen dieser Debatten und zeigt, dass die wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten in Folge der Covid-19-Krise nicht primär Resultat exzessiver Auslandsabhängigkeit, sondern der von Kostenoptimierungszielen getriebenen engen Taktung und komplexen Verzweigung von Wertschöpfungsketten ist. Antworten auf die Probleme mit der gegenwärtigen Struktur globaler Wertschöpfungsketten sollten dieses Thema in den Kontext der unumgänglichen sozial-ökologischen Transformation der Wirtschaftsweise stellen. Dies beinhaltet vor allem eine erhöhte gesellschaftliche Resilienz durch die Stärkung fundamentaler Güter und Dienstleistungen in Bereichen wie Wohnen, Energie, Wasser, Gesundheit, Bildung und Pflege.Shortages of medical equipment and supply parts for industrial production during the Covid-19 crisis have triggered a discussion on the vulnerability of global production networks. The responses mostly focus on increasing the resilience of manufacturing through a “reshoring” of production, a diversification of supply chains, and the build-up of inventory. This article reveals that many interventions depart from erroneous assumptions on the structure of global manufacturing as the reasons for economic problems in the wake of Covid-19 are not mainly rooted in excessive dependence on foreign suppliers, but in the market-driven accumulation of risks through just-in-time production and overly complex supply chains. A response to such difficulties should be put in the context of a socio-ecological transformation of the economy that is necessary not only in order to make global production networks more resilient, but to enhance “societal resilience” against the challenges of climate change and increasing social inequality. An important component of a response to Covid-19 thus should consist of strengthening the “foundational economy”, i. e. goods and services related to housing, energy, water, health, education and care
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
