Making things available: Ownership as an incarnation of our relationship with the world (C06 [C01])

Subject Area Sociological Theory
Term since 2021
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 424638267
 
The project is based on the insight that ownership plays an important role in the establishment and reproduction of our understanding of things, society and ourselves. It applies qualitative and empirical methods to various prac¬tices of the sharing economy to examine whether new forms of ownership and alternative concepts alter that un¬derstanding. Assuming a hybrid field with 'old' and 'new' practices and following a sociology of our relationship to the world, the researchers aim to determine the transformational and reproductive potential inherent to forms of and alternatives to ownership.
