Neuer Sammelband: Diversität der Lebensführung

This book examines the diversity of modern lifestyles from a cultural-sociological perspective. Contributions on urban life, political and academic careers, sport, friendship, eroticism and digital dating reveal how individuals shape their lifestyles in a wide variety of ways. At the same time, the empirical case studies document the pitfalls and the ever-present possibility of failure in shaping one’s way of life in the face of instability, normative conflicts and social inequality. The volume is aimed at researchers, students and anyone interested in ways of life and modern individuality from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.
