Ein von Michael Zürn und mir verfasster Nachruf auf Claus Offe. Ein bemerkenswerter Mensch und Wissenschaftler www.faz.net/aktuell/feui...

Sozialwissenschaftler Claus Offe gestorben

Claus Offe prägte die Sozialwissenschaften mit scharfsinnigen Analysen und gesellschaftskritischen Perspektiven. Als Grenzgänger zwischen Soziologie und Politologie bleibt sein Werk wegweisend.

(Re)Imagining Japan: Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Victimhood Nationalism by Giorgio Shani:

(Re)Imagining Japan: Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Victimhood Nationalism

By refusing to name the US as perpetrator yet affirming Japan’s status as victim, post-war LDP governments absolved the US of its responsibility.

New article published in @risjnl.bsky.social critiques the oft-repeated idea that 'we' are living in Age of Anxiety. I ask: who is the 'we'? A planetary we? Or an insecure (but provincial) Western-liberal subject?
