Stillleben kennt man von Glückwunschkarten, wie sie zu Geburt und Hochzeit gern versandt werden: prächtig komponierte Bilder mit Blumen, Obst und Südfrüchten, wunderschön gemalt, fast echter noch als echt – doch auf Leinwand gebannt und damit tot, auch wenn sie ewige Lebendigkeit suggerieren.

Am 26. Oktober hat der politologische Fachverband Deutschlands, die Deutsche Vereinigung für Politische Wissenschaft (DVPW), entschieden, ihren 2003 erstmalig und danach im Drei-Jahres-Abstand vergebenen Preis für ein politikwissenschaftliches Lebenswerk nicht mehr zu verleihen.
Geist und Macht – ein oft und immer wieder kontrovers diskutiertes Thema. Lässt sich schreibend auf Politik und Gesellschaft Einfluss nehmen? Wenn es dabei um die Wirkung von Büchern geht, dann sollten eigentlich Leser darüber befinden.

An seiner Person scheiden sich Geister und Gemüter bis heute. Über den Donnergott Marx hat sich schon Bertolt Brecht gewundert.

Many scholars view the relaxation of restrictions to enter and reside in South Africa after the end of apartheid in 1994 as a catalyst for a number of changes in regional human migration. In this article, I show that human migration dynamics in post-apartheid South Africa pose theoretical and methodological challenges for studies of belonging among migrants. I argue that the majority of studies of belonging among migrants in South Africa rely on nation-state frames of reference and quantitative approaches. Furthermore, they largely seek to establish general patterns of migration processes. While these studies illuminate macro-level factors which seemingly structure migration experiences, they provide only a partial picture of migration dynamics. Often, they fail to sufficiently attend to context-dependent modes of emplacement among migrants in the urban zones due to the conceptual and methodological tools they use. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to suggest theoretical assumptions, concepts and methodological tools which constitute an alternative design for studying social constructions and practices of belonging among migrants in post-apartheid South Africa. The article draws on my doctoral research of Zimbabweans in Johannesburg for illustrations.

With his 1,200+ page study of Robert Musil's novel "The Man Without Qualities," Norbert Christian Wolf has produced a book which many may assume is "unreadable" on account of its enormous size alone. As a work of literary studies, it certainly runs the risk of being largely ignored by the social sciences. From a methodological perspective, however, there are good reasons to engage with this book: Not only does it contain a concise theoretical substantiation and methodological description of the socio-analysis of literary texts according to Pierre Bourdieu, it also demonstrates this method in detail on the corpus of the fictional characters in Musil's novel. In terms of literary studies, Wolf's book can therefore be viewed as a kind of encyclopedia for Musil's work; sociologically, it represents a nuanced socio-analysis of the "history of the calamities of the 20th century." Before looking at the methodological and methodical aspects of Wolf's study, this review essay presents some introductory thoughts on the use of literary works in the social sciences as well as a few cursory references to selected works which introduce or make use of this method themselves.
