Chair of Comparative Cultural Studies and Qualitative Research (Sociology)

In research and teaching, the Chair addresses the methodological challenges of mediatisation and globalisation processes for qualitative social research. In addition, it is dedicated to empirical, theoretical and methodological questions of comparative cultural analysis. In doing so, we assume that the concept of culture represents two values, which in the analysis of cultural phenomena create a productive tension. In the sense of the sociology of knowledge, culture describes a repertoire of socially divided practical and cognitive knowledge that offers orientation and confidence in interactions and thus stabilises social order.
