- Title
Was kann die Soziologie im Schockzustand einer Krise leisten?
- Authors
Kraemer, Klaus
- Abstract
This article uses the example of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to discuss the question of what sociology can actually do in the moment of shock of a crisis. In contrast to Heinz Bude (SOZIOLOGIE, no. 3, 2022), it is argued that the task of sociology should not be to organise public approval for state measures, but to take on a sociological observer role in order to make the blind spots of state actors and expert groups visible, especially under crisis conditions. Instead of falling into the mode of a crisis rhetoric of simple words, it is advocated that one should remember the methodological and methodical core competences of the discipline and not confuse interdisciplinary exchange with undisciplined extradisciplinarity.
