This book explores the current forms of social science theorization starting from some federative themes: Agency, Anthropocene, Coloniality, Intersectionality, Othering, Singularization, Technoscience and Uncertainty. The book proposes a reconstruction of contemporary social theory starting from some thematic issues rather than starting from authors or schools of thought. It emphasizes the usefulness of a rhizomatic way of thinking that recognizes the importance of interconnections, heterogeneity and multiplicity in understanding the complexity of global societies. Focusing on federative themes, it highlights some heuristic and conceptual tools that intersect and intertwine in different themes, returning a complex toolbox for the social sciences, adaptable to different contexts and situations, enriched by voices and theoretical perspectives deriving from reflections on the social that the modern and Eurocentric perspective has tended to marginalize. The book is intended for an academic audience interested in social theory. It is also intended for students from a wide range of disciplines undertaking social science studies.

Die verschiedenen Soziologien des Lebens fassen das Leben nicht nur als Objekt, das gesellschaftlich erkannt, normiert und gesteigert wird. Sie verstehen es immer auch als Subjekt seines Wissens, seiner Normen und seines Wandels. Das Leben wird nicht vereinseitigt, sondern seine Verschränkungen werden analysiert: die Immanenz von Natur und Kultur, die Gleichzeitigkeit von Aktivität und Passivität, die Ko-Konstitution von Affekt und Kognition, die Identität von Normativität und Normierung. Im Anschluss an Autorinnen und Autoren wie Bataille, Bergson, Canguilhem, Deleuze, Driesch, Haraway, Plessner, die Pragmatisten oder Simmel entfalten die Beiträge dieses Bandes differente lebenssoziologische Perspektiven und revitalisieren damit einen für die soziologische Theorie in vielerlei Hinsicht instruktiven Diskurs.

In recent years, under the impression and the burden of globalization and neoliberalism, debates about the relationship between the theory and practice of progress - including the theory and practice of social critique - have gone through an unexpected and momentous revival, renewal and rejuvenation. This is due in large part to the proliferation of manifest crises in the early years of the twenty-first century. The terrorist attacks in September of 2001, the financial crisis of 2008 that spawned the Great Recession, the Euro crisis that began in fall 2010 - these events provided glimpses of the existing system of political economy, and opportunities to begin to grasp and reveal the ongoing reconstruction of business-labor-government relations in the early 21st century. Yet, in a variety of ways, the notions that theories and practices of rigorous social critique in and of modern societies could become outdated, or that they were based on a categorical misunderstanding of the nature of social, economic, political and cultural life in the modern world, were symptomatic of an ongoing reconfiguration of the system of political economy itself.
