Reflektierte Grenzgänger: Mediatisierte Arbeit im Spannungsfeld von Dauervernetzung und Medienabstinenz
by Fabio WurzerWie gestaltet sich für Pfarrpriester unter dem Einfluss der Nutzung von Technologien zur digitalen Vernetzung die Wahrnehmung von und der Umgang mit Raum, Zeit und sozialen Beziehungen? Diese Frage versucht der Autor in dieser empirischen Arbeit zu beantworten, indem er das Zusammenspiel zwischen der Nutzung digitaler Medien und der Anwendung sozialer Praktiken im Pfarralltag untersucht. Auf Grundlage der Daten konnte für die gegenständliche Studie der Idealtypus des Reflektierten Grenzgängers entwickelt werden. Dieser Idealtypus beschreibt einen Menschen, der nach einer reflektierten Gestaltung seiner Lebensbereiche Arbeit und Freizeit strebt, um nicht wie der Idealtypus des Effizienten Menschen ein Maximum an Aufgaben, sondern die jeweiligen Aufgaben bestmöglich zu bewältigen. Eine effiziente Mediennutzung und das Grenzmanagement sind folglich nur die Voraussetzungen, um in einer von digitalen Medien durchsetzten Welt bestmögliche Arbeit leisten zu können.
Reflexion des Rechts – Beiträge zur responsiven Rechtssoziologie: Soziologische Theorie des Rechts 2
by Alfons BoraDieses Buch versammelt Überlegungen zur Rechtssoziologie und zur soziologischen Rechtstheorie. Einzelstudien auf verschiedenen rechtssoziologischen Forschungsgebieten verdeutlichen die Möglichkeiten einer responsiven soziologischen Theorie des Rechts. Diese greift rechtstheoretische Fragen auf und macht sie soziologisch relevant. Die soziologische Theorie des Rechts verkörpert so die interdisziplinäre Integration von Autonomie und Praxis.
Reflexion und Subversion: Selbstbeobachtung der Gesellschaft in Twitter und den Massenmedien (ars digitalis)
by Samuel BreidenbachDie ehemals den Massenmedien vorbehaltene Funktion, die Gesellschaft zu reflektieren und diese gesellschaftlichen Selbstbeschreibungen auch gesellschaftsweit bekannt zu machen, kann heute auch von Social-Media-Plattformen erfüllt werden, wenn die Nutzer*innen dort die Gesellschaft beschreiben und diese Beiträge massenhaft verbreitet werden. Gleichzeitig unterscheiden sich die in den Social Media verbreiteten Gesellschaftsbeschreibungen enorm von jenen herkömmlicher Massenmedien – nicht zuletzt aufgrund der technischen Infrastrukturen der Plattformen. Aus Perspektive der sozialen Systemtheorie werden am Beispiel von Twitter Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen zwischen diesen beiden Formen gesellschaftlicher Selbstreflexion herausgearbeitet. Vor allem aber soll die Analyse die grundsätzlich divergenten Wirkungen aufzeigen, welche die (Selbst-)Reflexion der Gesellschaft nach sich ziehen kann, wenn diese einerseits gesellschaftliche Komplexität als einheitliche Realität greifbar macht und damit der Selbstvergewisserung dient, andererseits genauso die Kritik und das Hinterfragen des Bestehenden erlaubt.
Reflexiones sobre la guillotina
by Albert CamusEl breve pero gran ensayo del Nobel de Literatura, Albert Camus, contra la pena de muerte en Francia: uno de los textos más poderosos y persuasivos jamás escrito contra este castigo. A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos. Este poderoso texto, uno de los más hermosos y persuasivos que escribió Albert Camus, sitúa el respeto a la vida humana por encima de la necesidad de cumplimiento de la ley. Sus argumentos contra la violencia de Estado y las penas ejemplares tienen plena vigencia hoy, y conforman una obra clave para entender el pensamiento ético del premio Nobel.
Reflexive Ethnographic Practice: Three Generations of Social Researchers in One Place
by John Bradley Amanda KearneyPutting the anthropological imagination under the spotlight, this book represents the experience of three generations of researchers, each of whom have long collaborated with the same Indigenous community over the course of their careers. In the context of a remote Indigenous Australian community in northern Australia, these researchers—anthropologists, an archeologist, a literary scholar, and an artist—encounter reflexivity and ethnographic practice through deeply personal and professionally revealing accounts of anthropological consciousness, relational encounters, and knowledge sharing. In six discrete chapters, the authors reveal the complexities that run through these relationships, considering how any one of us builds knowledge, shares knowledge, how we encounter different and new knowledge, and how well we are positioned to understand the lived experiences of others, whilst making ourselves fully available to personal change. At its core, this anthology is a meditation on learning and friendship across cultures.
Reflexive Ethnography: A Guide to Researching Selves and Others (The\asa Research Methods Ser.)
by Charlotte Aull DaviesReflexive Ethnography is a unique guide to ethnographic research for students of anthropology and related disciplines. It provides practical and comprehensive guidance to ethnographic research methods, but also encourages students to develop a critical understanding of the philosophical basis of ethnographic authority. Davies examines why reflexivity, at both personal and broader cultural levels, should be integrated into ethnographic research and discusses how this can be accomplished for a variety of research methods. This revised and updated second edition includes: a new chapter on internet-based research and ‘interethnography’ chapters on selection of topics and methods, data collection and analysis, and ethics and politics of research practical advice on writing up ethnographic study new and updated research examples. Postmodernist relativism can lead to an over-emphasis on reflexivity that denies the possibility of social research. Reflexive Ethnography utilises postmodernist insights – incorporation of different standpoints, exposure of the intellectual tyranny of meta-narratives – but proposes that reflexive ethnographic research be undertaken from a realist perspective. Reflexive Ethnography will help students to use and understand ethnographic research practices that fully incorporate reflexivity without abandoning claims to develop valid knowledge of social reality.
Reflexive Historical Sociology (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought #Vol. 22)
by Arpad SzakolczaiThis book reconstructs and brings together the work of a number of social and political theorists in order to gain new insight on the emergence and character of modern Western society. It examines the intersection point of social theory and historical sociology in a new theoretical approach called "reflexive historical sociology". There is analysis of the works of Max Weber, Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias, Eric Voegelin and a number of others. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the works of Eric Voegelin, Norbert Elias, Lewis Mumford and Franz Borkenau. Part 2 is concerned with the major conceptual tools such as experience, liminality, process, symbolisation, figuration, order, dramatisation and reflexivity, and themes such as the history of forms of thought, subjectivity, knowledge and closed space and regulated time. Finally, the book examines the most important insights of the thinkers discussed, concerning the historical processes that led to modernity.
The Reflexive Initiative: On the Grounds and Prospects of Analytic Theorizing (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
by Barry Sandywell Stanley RaffelThe Reflexive Initiative is an authoritative intervention in the practice and tradition of reflexive social theory. It demonstrates the importance of the reflexive imperative, not only in the investigation of everyday life but across a wide range of human sciences and philosophical perspectives. Forty years after the publication of On the Beginning of Social Inquiry, the chapters in this collection range from re-appraisals of earlier essays on topics such as ‘reunions’, ‘rethinking art’ and ‘expats’ to contributions emphasising the opening of radical dialogues with other reflexive traditions and perspectives. These include psychoanalysis, Lacan, Hegel, Rene Girard, Daseinanalysis, dialectical method, critical feminism, and the dialogical tradition. In this dialogical spirit, the book contributes to the continuing project of analytic theorizing associated with the work of Alan Blum and Peter McHugh, and the recent turn to more ‘existential’ topics and politically engaged forms of reflexive research. It will be of particular use to students working in interpretive traditions of sociology, Critical theory, Postmodern thought and debates associated with reflexivity and dialectics in other disciplines and research programmes.
Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education: Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity
by Joan G. DeJaeghereResponding to both the increase of mixed methods research (MMR) and the lack of dialogue about its philosophical and methodological practices in comparative and international education (CIE) Reflexive Mixed Methods Research in Comparative and International Education: Context, Complexity, and Transdisciplinarity offers readers an overview of different philosophical approaches to mixed methods, as well as the practical processes to engage in MMR with reflexivity.Comparing reflexivity to a kaleidoscope, the author describes how it can be used throughout the research process to engage with different paradigms and methods, as well as to integrate findings and consider emerging interconnections. The book discusses various ways to reflexively adapt designs, methods, and analyses, and integrate findings in MMR to better contextualize knowledge in the field of CIE. It illustrates different approaches to MMR through various case summaries, and each chapter poses reflexive questions for researchers to consider during their research projects. It emphasizes a critical realist approach, particularly for how it involves epistemological pluralism while also offering contingent explanations to educational questions. Through a reflexive approach, the book offers possibilities for conducting better and more epistemically just MMR.This is fascinating reading for both new and more experienced researchers to expand the craft of researching with MM. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams, as well as sole researchers, will find concrete research practices in the book for employing reflexive MMR to understand complex educational issues.
Reflexive Narrative: Self-Inquiry Toward Self-Realization and Its Performance (Qualitative Research Methods #57)
by Christopher JohnsReflexive Narrative: Self-Inquiry Toward Self-Realization and Its Performance is latest addition to the Qualitative Research Methods series. Author Christopher Johns describes this unique method and its developmental approach to research to enable researchers&’ self-realization however that might be expressed. This method focuses on systematizing the reflective process and providing structure while still remaining flexible to the needs of individual researchers and projects. Researchers collect data through reflections on everyday experiences and then selectively use the evidence of researcher&’s insights. The text starts out with a brief introduction to narrative research and reflexivity, situating the method within the larger context of organizational practices. The next chapters introduce the steps for reflexive narrative research and walk readers through the movements of the reflexive narrative process, writing, reflection, dialogue, guidance, weaving, and audiencing. Additional coverage of ethics and research examples provide a foundation for application of the method to individual research. A chapter on structuring the method for a doctoral thesis furthers the applied nature of this method. Three extracts from studies provide research examples across several social science disciplines, including nursing and education. For students and researchers alike looking for new approaches to reflexive methods and looking to expand their ideas about self-research in a qualitative context, Reflexive Narrative provides a starting place for their own examination of self in the context of research.

Reflexive Sozialpsychologie: Ambivalenzen Und Potenziale Eines Neuen Altersbildes In Der Flexiblen Arbeitswelt (essentials #8)
by Heiner KeuppDie neue Arbeitswelt ist von zunehmender Unsicherheit geprägt. Diskontinuierliche Beschäftigungsverhältnisse sind weiter auf dem Vormarsch. Für die Beschäftigten in der Wissensökonomie sind damit höhere Freiheitsgrade verbunden, aber auch neue Belastungen - bis hin zum Burnout. Zudem sind Jobnomaden, Freelancer und Zeitarbeitende oft von betrieblicher Gesundheitsförderung ausgeschlossen. Wie und von wem können diese Gruppen bei der Gesundheitsprävention unterstützt werden? Der Band beleuchtet diese Fragen aus verschiedenen sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven und unterfüttert die Argumentation mit empirischen Erkenntnissen.
Reflexivity: Theory, Method, and Practice (Routledge Advances in Research Methods)
by Karen LumsdenReflexivity is valuable in social research because it draws attention to the researcher as part of the world being studied and reminds us that the individuals involved in our research are subjects, not objects. By being reflexive we acknowledge that we cannot be separated from our biographies. This volume reviews key debates concerning reflexivity in theory, methods, and practice. It mounts a defence of reflexivity against new materialist and post-qualitative critiques and the pressures exerted on scholars from the neoliberal marketized university system which privileges fast academia at the expense of slow, reflective scholarship. While defending reflexivity, this book also those identifies issues which plague mainstream sociological operationalizations of a positivistic form of reflexivity. It argues for the extension of reflexivity into domains otherwise neglected in public accounts, and a shift from reflexivity as an individualized quality of the researcher (used to judge peers and navel-gaze) to a feminist, collaborative, reflexive sensibility which is mindful of the wider contexts shaping the construction of knowledge(s), experience(s), and of the role of research communities. Providing examples of reflexivity in action from academics at different stages of their careers, Reflexivity will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Sociology, Qualitative Research Methods, Criminology, Ethnography, and Ethics of Research.

Reflexivity in Criminological Research
by Karen Lumsden Aaron WinterDoing research with criminals or deviants has inspired much academic reflection, particularly in respect of the risks and dangers which researchers may face in these contexts, as well as the ethical, legal and moral dilemmas they provoke. This collection contributes to, advances and consolidates discussions of the range of methods and approaches in criminology through the presentation of diverse international case studies in which the authors reflect upon their experiences with both powerless and/or powerful individuals/groups. Reflexivity, and the need to be reflexive, permeates all criminological research and the chapters in this collection cover various aspects of this, including gaining access to the field, building relationships with the researched, the impact of the researcher's identity on the research (including gender, class and race), ethics, risk, bias and partisanship, policy implications, and how to disseminate findings and 'give voice' to the researched. A range of research settings are drawn from including those typically involving the powerful, such as state institutions, courts and prisons, to those typically conceived of as powerless, such as deviant and dangerous individuals as well as subcultures including boy racers and hooligans. Research participants defined as vulnerable, for example victims of crime, are also considered. This comprehensive collection explores a variety of methods including interviews, participant observation, virtual ethnography and feminist research. Acknowledging the fluid nature of power relations and dynamics, this volume will be a valuable resource to scholars of criminology and sociology.
Reflexivity in Social Research
by Emilie Morwenna Whitaker Paul AtkinsonThis book provides students and researchers with clear guidance through this tricky, but fundamental aspect of qualitative, ethnographic research. The chapters provide a concise overview that clarifies, illustrates and develops a highly popular methodological principle. To some extent, the book is critical of some contemporary approaches, particularly those that portray reflexivity as an optional, virtuous extra. Drawing on a broad range of anthropological, sociological and other sources, it illuminates through example as well as by precept.
Reform and Productivity Growth in India: Issues and Trends in the Labour Markets (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)
by Dibyendu MaitiDuring the last two decades, India has experienced a high growth rate, but the contribution from productivity growth and technological progress has been very low. This has resulted in a poor performance in the employment generation in the formal sector, and this book examines this phenomenon and the Indian growth pattern. Using primary and secondary data, the book looks at the impact of economic reform on technological change and total productivity growth, and in turn its impact on the labour market. It examines the effect of trade reform on the form and functioning of labour markets, and goes on to look at the impact of the global financial crisis on the Indian labour market. Offering interesting modelling exercises and empirical verifications that bring fresh ideas and new content, this book is of interest to academics in the fields of development economics, international economics and South Asian studies.
Reform and Punishment (Cambridge Criminal Justice Series)
by Sue Rex Michael TonryIn this book a group of leading authorities in the field address the key issues surrounding the future of sentencing in Britain, in the light particularly of the highly influential Halliday Report. These proposals for reform amount to the single most ambitious and comprehensive set of proposals for reconstituting the sentencing system of a common-law country, and include proposals to replace existing sentencing statutes, the establishment of a sentencing commission and sentencing guidelines, and the creation of a sentence review function in the judiciary. As well as addressing the major issues of the Halliday Report the chapters in this book go beyond this to explore the broader set of policy problems and implications which are raised, drawing upon experiences of reform in other jurisdictions and contexts, particularly that of the USA. This book will be essential reading for anybody with an interest in the future of sentencing or the future direction of the criminal justice system as a whole.
Reform and Reaction in Post-Mao China: The Road to Tiananmen (Routledge Library Editions: China Under Mao #12)
by Richard BaumThe decade of the 1980s began in China with great expectations of the societal benefits of modernisation, and ended with gunfire in Tiananmen Square. This book, first published in 1991, presents essays that explore the political and economic reform policies that emerged in post-Mao China under Deng Xiaoping. In general, they conclude that the advent of partial marketization and structural reform tended to magnify structural contradictions rather than solve them.

The Reform Decade in China: From Hope to Dismay (Routledge Library Editions: China Under Mao #13)
by Marta Dassù Tony SaichThis book, first published in 1992, provides a detailed analysis of the reform programme in post-Mao China. In it, a distinguished group of specialists show how the dramatic events that came to a head in Tiananmen Square in 1989 were the result of a profound crisis in the reform programme launched in 1978. Individual chapters examine the roots of this crisis: the inability to deal sufficiently with the Maoist legacy; insufficient political reform; the clash between Deng’s revolution from above and society’s revolution from below; the imbalances created by the new economic programme; and the relationship between these domestic changes and China’s foreign policy.
Reform Jews of Minneapolis (Images of America)
by Rhoda LewinThe German Jews who began coming to Minneapolis in the 1850s quickly entered society as doctors, lawyers, professors, merchants, and leaders in clothing and cigar manufacturing. In 1878 they founded Shaarai Tov, now Temple Israel--one of the ten largest Reform congregations in the U.S. today. They also enjoyed a busy social and cultural life, and both husbands and wives involved themselves in social service and welfare organizations. Including historic and present-day photographs and tales of the community--schools, synagogues, organizations, and outdoor activities--this collection uncovers the challenges and triumphs of Reform Jews in Minneapolis.
Reform Nation: The First Step Act and the Movement to End Mass Incarceration
by Colleen P. ErenHow one law tells the story of America's modern criminal justice movement In late 2018, the First Step Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump just hours before a government shutdown. It was one of few major pieces of federal criminal justice reform since the 1970s to move toward reversing the incarceration frenzy that had characterized United States policy. While it did not amount to revolutionary reform, in Reform Nation, Colleen P. Eren investigates it as a symbol for the larger movement's trajectory. Its unlikely passage during a period of political polarization was testament to the power of a new constellation of advocates, stakeholders, and strange bedfellow alliances. These intriguing and complex dynamics are indicative of a longer, twenty-year shift in which the movement became nationalized and mainstreamed. Using in-depth interviews with major players in the national movement, formerly incarcerated activists, celebrities, and donors, this is the first book to turn the mirror back on the criminal justice reform movement itself—the frames used, the voices heard, the capital activated among elite participants, and the bitter controversies. This snapshot in time raises much larger questions about how our democratic processes inform criminal justice policy, and where we are going in the decades to come.
