Conference: Norbert Elias in Practice: From Human Sciences to Application – 20 to 21 September 2024, Hochschule Esslingen, Germany

Norbert Elias’s goal was the theoretical and conceptual development of the human sciences – towards a consistent interdisciplinary process and interconnectedness thinking. In doing so, he opened up groundbreaking perspectives, including in application-oriented research and concrete practical application. These draw on his concepts and key terms –whether power balances, figurations or networks of relationships, established-outsider relationships, balances of external and self-constraint, changes in hierarchies in work relationships, gender relations or surges of civilisation and decivilisation.
