Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- Idioms of Stability and Destabilization -- The Function and Functioning of Idioms of Stability and Destabilization -- Stability through Probability – and the Destabilizing Threat of Society’s ›Other‹ -- Bad Habits and the Origins of Sociology -- Between Engaged Science and Theorized Practice -- Questioning Orders -- The Flexibility of Internet Time -- Order of the Orderless -- Political Order of the Multitude -- Rethinking Order -- ›I Am Inclined Not To‹ -- Stability through Indeterminacy? -- The English Ruin(ed) -- False Enemies of Stability in the Political Philosophy of the Heterogeneous -- Authors
Summary: Stability is at the core of every discussion of order, organization or institutionalization. From an »inside« perspective, the stability of each order-constituting element is assumed. In contrast, in critical discourses instability (e.g. through ambiguity or non-control) is located at the outside of the social order as its negative. By treating this argumentative symmetrical structure as »idioms of stability and destabilization«, the articles try to rethink order: How can we describe structures from a perspective in which instability, non-control and irrationality are not contrary to ordering systems, but contribute to their stability? How might the notions of identity, knowledge and institutions in social and cultural studies be contested by this change of perspective?
