Long description: Zivilgesellschaft ist ein viel benutztes Schlagwort, sowohl in Medien und Politik als auch in den Sozialwissenschaften. Der Begriff bezeichnet nichtstaatliche Organisationen wie Verbände, Vereine, soziale Bewegungen, Stiftungen, Initiativen - kurz, alle Aktivitäten von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern, die unsere heutigen Demokratien mitgestalten. Auf der normativen Ebene zählen das öffentliche Gespräch und Werte wie Toleranz und Gewaltfreiheit zur Zivilgesellschaft. Frank Adloff rekonstruiert zunächst die wechselhafte Geschichte des Begriffs, die schon mit Aristoteles begann, über das Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit und die Moderne reicht und Denker wie Locke, Hegel, Tocqueville, Gramsci, Dewey, Arendt, Etzioni, Dahrendorf oder Habermas einschließt. Anschließend beschreibt er historische Entwicklungslinien und Beispiele der deutschen Zivilgesellschaft - als gesellschaftlicher und öffentlicher Raum von freiwilligen und politischen Assoziationen - vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Am Ende stellt Adloff nationenübergreifende Formen von Zivilgesellschaft vor und zeigt, dass diese im Zeitalter der Globalisierung unerlässlich sind. Biographical note: Frank Adloff, Dr. phil., ist wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Institut für Soziologie in Göttingen.

What steps are needed to make life better and more convivial? The Second Convivialist Manifesto (2020) has presented a short diagnosis of the current crises and sketches of a possible and desirable future. It has been a necessary work of theoretical synthesis, but preserving a viable world also requires passion. It is thus urgent to show what people would gain from a shift to a post-neoliberal and post-growth convivialist future. This volume includes a theoretical debate on convivialism which reflects dystopias and shows the multiple and major obstacles that convivialism will have to face. Mainly, however, the contributors to this volume create sketches of a convivial future and collect accounts of another future world which is attractive for as many as possible.

At the heart of capitalism lies the idea of 'homo economicus': an ever-rational human being motivated by self-interest which arguably leads societies to economic prosperity. Drawing on French sociologist Marcel Mauss' influential theory of 'the gift', Frank Adloff shatters this fallacy to show mutual trust is the only glue that holds societies together; people are giving beings and they can cooperate for the benefit of all when the logic of maximizing personal gain in capitalism is broken. Acknowledging the role of women, nature, and workers in the Global South in transforming society, this book proposes a politics of conviviality, (from the Latin con-vivere: living together) for global and environmental justice as an alternative to the pursuit of profit, growth, and consumption.
