Ungleichheit und Vorurteil

Abstract

Das Ethos der Wissenschaftlichkeit fußt auf dem Ideal von Rationalität und Objektivität. Nur unter Rekurs auf diesen Anspruch kann es Wissenschaft gelingen, die Produktion von Wahrheit glaubhaft zu machen. Dabei sind Rationalität und Objektivität in deutlichem Gegensatz zu Emotionalität begriffen. Die erfolgreich behauptete Abwesenheit von Emotionen in wissenschaftlicher Argumentation wird damit zu einer Grundbedingung für deren Legitimität und Wirkmächtigkeit. Dieses Postulat scheint wiederum so selbstverständlich, dass es meist implizit gehalten werden kann und keiner weiteren Begründung mehr bedarf.In den Sozialwissenschaften erhielt das Ethos der Wissenschaftlichkeit darüber hinaus ein spezifisches Gepräge durch das Weber'sche Ideal der Wertfreiheit, das auch heute einen weit verbreiteten Grundsatz sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung darstellt.

The Minimal Model of Argumentation: Qualitative data analysis for epistemic speech, text and policy

“…Future research may adopt a ‘both‐and’ approach, that involves an analysis of the explicit and an articulation of the implicit, bridging MMA (a) with more critical social methodologies engaging in a hermeneutic of suspicion or other deconstructive pursuits, or (b) with recent scholarship on the ‘emotional turn’ in research methods (Flam & Kleres, 2015). The latter turn considers the framing of interviews “as either conquest or communion” (Ezzy, 2010, p. 163), and considers notions such as strategic expressive suppression (of “emotionally expressive behavior when the individual is emotionally aroused” (Solak et al., 2021, p. 662)) in the context of collective action.…”

Inequality and Prejudice. German Social Scientist as Producers of Feeling Rules

“…As already mentioned, our thesis and arguments emerged within a comparative EU-research project about discrimination and xenophobia (see Flam & Kleres 2008;Flam et al 2007). As newcomers to this field we felt like Alice in Wonderland-everything seemed to be turned upside down: new Fascists and even their acts of violence are treated with much interpretive understanding [verstehen].…”

Political Emotion

“…That these were all articulated and recorded in observation diaries suggests that these emotions were collective, that they had a social nature, 18 and that they were a result of shared conscious and emotional work. 19 With the movement's development and the growth in awareness that a rapid transformation of the system would not succeed, the protesters began to talk about their "hatred" of government leaders, "sadness," "despair," "apathy," and "unfulfilled hopes." Such emotions were articulated most frequently during the May 6, 2012, rally, which saw the provocation of clashes between police and demonstrators that subsequently led to a series of searches, lengthy litigations, the taking of protest participants into custody, and in some cases convictions of up to 4.5 years.…”
