Symposion: Soziologische Perspektiven zu Osteuropa, Teil 1
Abstract
Das Ende des Postsowjetismus, das der Krieg Russlands gegen die gesamte Ukraine markiert, kann der Beginn eines erneuerten und systematisierten Selbstverständnisses der Krisen- und (Ost-)Europawissenschaft Soziologie sein. Das Symposion stellt in insgesamt sieben Beiträgen Perspektiven für die soziologische Theorieentwicklung und empirische Forschung vor. In diesem ersten Teil schreibt Valeria Korablyova im Anschluss an eine thematische Einführung von Susann Worschech über sozialwissenschaftliche Versäumnisse, die aus dem Erbe des sowjetrussischen Kolonialismus und des Kalten Krieges resultieren, und zeigt, welches soziologische Potenzial in der Beschäftigung mit der Ukraine liegt. Im Anschluss an den Beitrag von Korablyova diskutiert Andreas Langenohl die Rolle der Soziologie in den Debatten über Transformation, Europa beziehungsweise Europäische Union und die (de-)kolonialen Aspekte der Analyse Osteuropas im Verlaufe der letzten drei Dekaden.
The end of post-Sovietism, marked by Russia’s war against the Ukraine, can be the start of a renewed and systematised self-understanding of sociology as a science of crisis and (Eastern) Europe. In a total of seven contributions, the symposium presents perspectives for sociological theory development and empirical research. In the first part here, following a thematic introduction by Susann Worschech, Valeria Korablyova writes about sociological omissions resulting from the legacy of Soviet-Russian colonialism and the Cold War, and shows what sociological potential lies in the study of Ukraine. Following Korablyova’s contribution, Andreas Langenohl discusses the role of sociology in the debates on transformation, Europe and the European Union, and the (de-)colonial aspects of the analysis of Eastern Europe over the last three decades.
