In the late 1960s, the 'new' sociology of knowledge opened up a path of stimulating academic collaboration between European and American currents of thought. Roughly half a century later, the 'New' Sociology of Knowledge has evolved in different directions. Professor Schnettler will focus on the vibrant debate in Europe. Special attention will be paid to the recent development of three cognate approaches: The Theory of Communicative Genres, the Social Constructionist Approach to Discourse Analysis (SKAD) and Sociological Hermeneutics, now jointly developing a research program under the programmatic title "Communicative Constructionism."
