"This book explores the possibility of drawing upon a punk ethos to inspire sociology and to cultivate a vibrant future for the discipline. Aiming to fire the sociological imaginations of sociologists at any stage of their careers, from new students to established professors, it uses punk to think creatively about what sociology is and how it might be conducted. Following a succinct outline of the disciplinary and social challenges that sociology faces today, the book then applies the punk ethos to sociological knowledge, communication and terrain. The concept of punk sociology is developed through a series of riffs, each of which directly applies key features of the punk ethos to sociology. "Punk Sociology" encourages sociologists to avoid the temptation to play it safe. Instead it calls for us to be bold, open, inventive, and to produce raw, stripped back and fearless work that adheres to a do-it-yourself ethic"--Publisher description.

A significant new way of understanding contemporary capitalism is to understand the intensification and spread of data analytics. This text is about the powerful promises and visions that have led to the expansion of data analytics and data-led forms of social ordering. It is centrally concerned with examining the types of knowledge associated with data analytics and shows that how these analytics are envisioned is central to the emergence and prominence of data at various scales of social life. This text aims to understand the powerful role of the data analytics industry and how this industry facilitates the spread and intensification of data-led processes. As such, The Data Gaze is concerned with understanding how data-led, data-driven and data-reliant forms of capitalism pervade organisational and everyday life. Using a clear theoretical approach derived from Foucault and critical data studies the text develops the concept of the data gaze and shows how powerful and persuasive it is. It's an essential and subversive guide to data analytics and data capitalism.

It addresses six key concepts that are pivotal for understanding the impact of new media on contemporary society and culture: informa

Wie kann ökonomische Bildung dazu befähigen, angesichts der von Menschen verursachten sozialen und ökologischen Krisen eine nachhaltige Transformation unseres Wirtschaftssystems zu gestalten? Der Autor bereitet Modelle aus der Ökologischen Ökonomie und Umweltökonomie für Bildungsprozesse auf, analysiert Präkonzepte von Studierenden der Ökonomischen Bildung und führt fachwissenschaftliche Modelle und Lernendenvorstellungen zu Seminarkonzepten zusammen. Löw Beer argumentiert jedoch hinsichtlich seiner normativen Setzungen durchgehend transparent und selbstreflexiv, sodass die Arbeit zur weiteren Auseinandersetzung und vertieften Beschäftigung mit ökonomischen Bildung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung anregt und für alle in der ökonomischen Bildung Lehrenden eine Bereicherung darstellt.
