Öffentliche Soziologie

Kundeninformationen

Abstract The term 'öffentlichen Soziologie', that is, a form of sociology which does not only aim to appeal to those involved in the academic field of sociology but also to the wider general public, has only recently been adopted into current sociological parlance in Germany as a result of the American debate on its English equivalent, 'public sociology'. However, the forms and functions of this concept have already been discussed in Germany for a long time. This book is the first to endeavour to document the German debate and, in addition to a brief introduction and definition of the term, collates a selection of key German source texts which address the subject after 1945. The book thus aims to provide students with a first independent approach to studying this complex topic.
