• Welty, Gordon [1984]
  Theodor Adorno and the Culture Industry
  Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Popular Culture Association, Toronto (March 30, 1984)
  A review of Adorno's conception of the 'culture industry' as it is found in three writings: 'On Popular Music' (1941), 'Dialectic of Enlightenment' (1944), and 'Culture Industry Reconsidered' (1963). In these writings, Adorno has provided a theory of the nature of the culture product and its valuation. The standardization and interchangeability of culture products under late capitalism leads to the interchangeability of persons in the audience. Stylization has its counterpart, the pseudo-individualization of the culture product and members of the audience. Both stylization and pseudo-individualization contribute to the possibilities of mass marketing. The consequences for the audience in late capitalism are distraction on the one hand, and on the other hand, a means of ensuring the audience's 'adjustment' to its dependency. The significance of Adorno's thought on the culture industry is becoming increasingly apparent in the present era.

Berger, Peter L. and Luckmann, Thomas

• [1963] Invitation to Sociology. A Humanistic Perspective
  New York, Anchor Books, Doubley & Company, Inc.
  An invitation to understand society in a disciplined way for people who are naturally interested in the events that engage people's ultimate beliefs, their moments of tragedy and grandeur and ecstasy, but who are also fascinated by the commonplace, the everyday. Social reality has many layers of meaning. The discovery of each new layer changes the perceptions of the whole The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives.
  • Chapter 1: Sociology as an individual pastime
    In the first chapter [pp. 1-24] of his Invitation to Sociology Berger presents his humanistic answers to the question "why study sociology?" In Why Study Sociology? his main arguments are -gender modified- summarized.

  From: Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. [1966] The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge. Garden City, New York: Anchor Books, pp. 51-55, 59-61.
  In these fragments the autors explain what it means that man produces himself, i.e. the homo socius. They also argue that the causes of the emergence, maintenance and transmission of a social order can only be understood when you analyse the orgins, functions and processes of institutionalization. The origin of institutionalization is explained by the argument that all human activity is subject to habitualization. This processes of baibualization precede any institutionalization. Institutionalization itself is defined as a reciprocal typication of habitualized actions by types of actors.

  In: The Christian Century, October 29, 1997, pp. 972-8.
  Berger explains why the modern challenges is how to live with uncertainty. "The basic fault lines today are not between people with different beliefs but between people who hold these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs with a pretense of certitude. There is a middle ground between fanatism and relativism." That's what is ment by "epistemomogical modesty", you can belief certain things, but you are modest about these claims.

• [1998] Protestantism and the Quest for Certainty
  In: The Christian Century, August 26-September 2, 1998, pp. 782-796.
  Berger explains a big mistake he made in his career as a sociologist. He once believed that modernity necessarily leads to a decline in religion. But he also explains one big insight: pluralism undermines the taken-for-granted of beliefs and values. In the article the mistake and the insight are related.

• Schnellenbach, Jan [2003]
  The Dahrendorf hypothesis and its implications for (the theory of) economic policy-making [pdf]
  According to Dahrendorf, a principal commitment to the market order and to an open society protecting individual liberties is largely undisputed today, at least in the western hemisphere. This, however, does not result in a convergence of economic policies towards some common ideal model. This hypothesis is difficult to reconcile with orthodox economic approaches to economic policy-making. Schellenbach argues that if the scope of analysis is extended to epistemological problems, then a decentralised experimentation with policies can be reasonable. Given the fact that selection mechanisms are imperfect and that diversity can be sustained, a dilemma may occur for neoclassical economics: if individuals internalise preferences for inefficient policy measures, a decision between the sovereignty of individual preferences and efficiency may have to be made.

  Michel Foucault: problématique pour une histoire de l'homosexualité
  In: Revue sexuologique / Sexological Review 2(1).
  The history of homosexuality has primarily focused on two aspects: the process of repression/liberation and the problematic of the historical development of homosexuality. By emphasizing the oppression experienced by the gay community and by studying homosexuality as part of a larger history of sexuality, both approaches have neglected significant elements of the specific history of homosexuality. Foucault’s work on homosexuality enables us to rethink the way this history has been presented by demonstrating that repression has not been the mechanism through which "perverse" sexuality has been controlled in western societies. Foucault also suggests that the concept of friendship emerging in the West during the 17th and 18th centuries may prove to be an auspicious avenue to explore when seeking a fuller history of homosexuality. Lastly, Foucault opens new perspectives on political practices. In contrast with the politics of liberation, he suggests putting liberty at the center of one’s sexuality (homosexuality), an alternative that seeks to create new social relationships, a new culture.

  In: Michael Harrington and Paul Jacobs (eds.) [1959] Labor in a Free Society, pp. 1-16.
  Fromm explains why the only alternative to the danger of robotism is humanistic communitarianism. "Changes in ownership must be made to the extent necessary to create a community of work, and to prevent the profit motive from directing production into socially harmful directions. Income must be equalized to the extent of giving everybody the material basis for a dignified life and thus preventing economic differences from creating a fundamentally different experience of life among various social classes. Man must be reinstituted in his supreme place in society - never a means, never a thing to be used by others or by himself."

• [1962] Erich Fromm's Humanist Credo [German version]
  In: Erich Fromm [1962] Beyond the Chains of Illusions New York: Simon and Schuster, pp. 174-82.
  Fromm explains what he believes in. "I believe in freedom, in men's right to be himself, to assert himself and to fight all those who try to prevent him from being himself. But freedom is more thant the absense of violent oppression. It is more than 'freedom from'. It is 'freedom to' - the freedom to become independent; the freedom to be much, rather than to have much, or to use things and people."
