Figurative Politik Zur Performanz der Macht in der modernen Gesellschaft


Free Download Figurative Politik: Zur Performanz der Macht in der modernen Gesellschaft By Hans-Georg Soeffner, Dirk Tänzler (auth.), Hans-Georg Soeffner, Dirk Tänzler (eds.)
2002 | 338 Pages | ISBN: 381002631X | PDF | 11 MB
Die klassische politische Soziologie versteht das Problem politischen Handelns als etwas im Rahmen von rational-choice-, macht- oder systemtheoretischen Ansätzen in relativ klarer Form Rekonstruierbares. Ausgeblendet wird dabei eine bei Max Weber und in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion wieder auftauchende Prämisse, dass Politik, Machtausübung und Legitimation gebunden sind an den Glauben der Beherrschten an die Geltung einer bestimmten Funktion, einer bestimmten Amtsausübung. Die Frage lautet dann, wie dieser Glaube erzeugt wird; u.a. – und das ist das Thema des Buches- dadurch, dass Politik dargestellt wird und die Beherrschten in der Versinnbildlichung von Politik etwas finden müssen, das ihnen die Erzeugung dieser Geltung ermöglicht. Der Band versammelt empirische Studien aus Geschichte und Gegenwart sowie Konzepte zu einer Theorie figurativer Politik.
