Futures of Individualization in Local, Regional and Global Contexts

Sunday, 10 July 2016: 09:00-10:30
Location: Hörsaal III (Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG))
RC09 Social Transformations and Sociology of Development (host committee)

Language: English

Instead of discussing “individualization in general” the discussions in this session will be focused on commonalities and differences of the manifestations of individualization in particular action spheres and under different local circumstances.
Instead of regarding individualization as characteristic of post-modern societies alone the participants in the session will be expected to elaborate on individualization as a global trend with deep historical roots in the division of labour. Instead of limiting the debates on phenomena of individualization in Western Europe and North America the discussions will take challenges of individualization in other parts of the world into account as well. Instead of the predominant theoretical approach to individualization the participants in the session will be encouraged to present development and application of indicators for measuring advancements and decline of individualization. Instead of the typical cognitive orientation of the discussions on individualization the session will be guided by the need to draw recommendations for efficient steering of processes in European and in non-European societies.
Papers from different regions of the world representing a variety of theoretical and empirical research are welcome.
