John Urry Lecture 2019:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Hartmut Rosa, Professor of Sociology at Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Affiliated Professor at the New School for Social Research in New York\u00a0and Director of the Max Weber Center, University of Erfurt<\/i><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n 31 October 2019, Lancaster University Management School Lecture Theatre LT4<\/p>\n Lecture 4:15 \u2013 5:30 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Tea\/Coffee from 3:45 \u00a0 From\u00a05:30 Wine Reception.\u00a0 Please register here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction by\u00a0Stephen Wilkinson, Professor of Bioethics and The Lecture will\u00a0put forward a somewhat overly schematic account of the core features of the present capitalist social formation (section 1), of the crises and pathologies it necessarily creates (section 2), and of a possible way to transform or revolutionize this formation in the sense of a cardinal change of paradigm (section 3). As an underlying assumption it takes for granted that we can only understand society\u2019s fabric and its dynamics if we simultaneously look at its structural (\u2018objective\u2019) features and its cultural (or \u2018subjective\u2019) underpinnings which provide the (motivational) energy for social life to process and evolve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, in order to put forward the approach in the most straightforward and bold way possible, the line of argumentation developed in dialogue with John Urry\u2019s theoretical, methodological and empirical insights, is this: 1)\u00a0Structurally<\/i>, capitalist modernity can be defined as a social formation which can only reproduce itself in the mode of\u00a0dynamic stabilization<\/i>, i.e. through growth, acceleration and innovation. 2)\u00a0Culturally<\/i>, this social formation is driven by the \u2018Triple A Aspiration\u2019<\/i>, i.e. by the desire to make the world\u00a0accessible<\/i>,\u00a0available<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0attainable<\/i>\u00a0to an ever larger degree.\u00a0<\/span>3<\/span>)\u00a0Structurally<\/i>, this leads to pathologies of\u00a0desynchronization<\/i>, while\u00a0culturally,\u00a0<\/i>the triple-A-approach to the world leads to\u00a0alienation.\u00a0<\/i><\/span>4<\/span>) Therefore, what is needed is a fundamental change of paradigm which\u00a0structurally\u00a0<\/i>replaces dynamic stabilization with a mode of\u00a0adaptive stabilization<\/i>\u00a0and which\u00a0culturally\u00a0<\/i>replaces the triple A approach with a\u00a0resonance<\/i>conception of the good life.<\/span><\/p>\n Hartmut Rosa<\/strong> is a Full Professor of Sociology at Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, and an Affiliated Professor at the New School for Social Research in New York\u00a0and Director of the Max Weber Center, University of Erfurt.
