Beschreibung: Warum verändern sich Dinge zu bestimmten Zeiten und nicht zu anderen? Die Beiträge in diesem Band betrachten diese Frage aus der Perspektive der Bedrohung. Selbstalarmierungen aus Gesellschaften oder sozialen Gruppen heraus öffnen Möglichkeitsfenster für Wandel – der oft nicht so verläuft, wie die Urheber der Alarmierung wünschen. Einmal bedroht, werden soziale Ordnungen, die zuvor als gegeben hingenommen wurden, sichtbar, verhandelbar und damit auch veränderbar. In fünf Sektionen behandeln die Beiträge ein weites Spektrum an bedrohten Ordnungen: Dürre und Flut in der modernen Welt, Aufstände in mittelalterlichen Städten, antike Glaubenssysteme sowie heutige organisierte Kriminalität und Protest. Alarmierung und Bedrohung, so zeigt sich, ermöglichen Analyse und Vergleich schnellen und überraschenden sozialen Wandels in vielen Gesellschaften.InhaltsübersichtEwald Frie/Mischa Meier: Dynamics of Social Change and Perceptions of Threat.

Why do things change at certain times and not at others? The contributions collected in this volume approach this question from the perspective of threat. Defined as the self-alerting which goes on within societies and social groups, threats open up windows of opportunity for change – though not always the ones hoped for by those who raised the alarm in the first place. But once threatened, social orders previously taken for granted become visible, debateable and therefore changeable. Looking at the relationship between threat and social change with thematic, spatial and temporal foci, the contributions of this five-section volume treat topics ranging from systems of belief in Ancient Europe to droughts in twentieth century Australia, from medieval urban riots to organized crime and peaceful protest nowadays.Survey of contentsEwald Frie/Mischa Meier: Dynamics of Social Change and Perceptions of Threat.
