TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the classification operations that accompany changes in the French market that provides funding for social-sector organizations through financial and banking channels, and study these classification operations at three levels: the boundary-building work needed to create the idea of a new financing market (the impact investing (II) market), the fragmentation of the existing market for financing social organizations into subspaces governed by different assessment and classification regimes, and the effect of these classifications on the organizations being judged.
Abstract: »Die Doppelfunktion der Beurteilungsinstrumente. Warum die Pluralität der Marktklassifikationen zählt«. This article aims to advance understanding of the dual function of judgment devices (Karpik 2010) in markets. First, these devices support the construction of markets and their segmentation into classes of products, each segment being associated with different procedures for judging the quality or value of goods. Second, they organize classifications and a ranking of the things traded in the same market segment. The fragmentation of markets, understood as the cohabitation of several types of judgment devices, each one associated with different configurations of actors and practices, can then be seen as a welcome source of diversity, preventing the standardizing effects that would result from over-similar judgment devices. This article studies the classification operations that accompany changes in the French market that provides funding for social-sector organizations through financial and banking channels. We observe the arrival on this market of impact investing, the name given since the end of the 2000s to a set of venture capitalisminspired financing methods that originated in the USA and the UK. We study these classification operations at three levels: the boundary-building work needed to create the idea of a new financing market (the impact investing (II) market), the fragmentation of the existing market for financing social organizations into sub-spaces governed by different assessment and classification regimes, and the effect of these classifications on the organizations being judged.

TL;DR: In this article, a Modell normativen Wandels, das auf dem Begriff der Bewahrungsprobe und dem des Wechsels zwischen Regimen der Verlagerung und Kategorisierung grundet.
Abstract: Die franzosische Soziologie der 70er Jahre gab sich kritisch, sties damit aber weder im moralischen Sinne noch im Sinne der Gerechtigkeit auf groses Interesse. Im Gegensatz dazu betonte die pragmatische Soziologie der 80er Jahre das absichtsvolle Handeln der Individuen und nahm die moralischen Motive, die sie fur sich in Anspruch nahmen, sehr ernst. Sie hat dabei jedoch sehr oft die kritische Sichtweise aufgegeben. In „Le nouvel esprit du capitalisme“ haben wir versucht, einen Rahmen zu konstruieren, der es ermoglicht, die Kernpunkte einer kritischen mit denen der pragmatischen Soziologie zu verbinden, und dazu das Programm einer Soziologie der Rolle der Kritik im sozialen Leben entwickelt. Um zu verstehen, wie ein neuer „Geist des Kapitalismus“ in den letzten dreisig Jahren entstehen konnte, muss man in der Zeit um 1968 ansetzen, einer Phase, die durch ein hohes Niveau der Kritik gekennzeichnet war. Der Kapitalismus hat zunachst — ohne Erfolg — versucht, dieser Krise auf dem Gebiet der sozialen Gerechtigkeit zu begegnen, um dann grose Teile einer neuen Form der Kritik zu verinnerlichen, die Ende der 60er Jahre entwickelt wurde und die sich auf Forderungen nach Autonomie, Authentizitat und Kreativitat konzentrierte. Die Anpassung des Kapitalismus an diese Form kunstlerischer Kritik, wie wir sie bezeichnen, hat zu seiner Wiederbelebung beigetragen. Zusammenfassend entwickeln wir ein Modell normativen Wandels, das auf dem Begriff der Bewahrungsprobe und dem des Wechsels zwischen Regimen der Verlagerung und Kategorisierung grundet.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define three periods associated with conventional calculation systems that may shape investment decisions: the actuarial convention at the end of the 19th century, the mean-variance convention during the 1970s, and the marketconsistent convention since the 1990s.
Abstract: »Die drei Perioden der finanztechnischen Quantifizierung: ein konventionentheoretischer Ansatz zur Analyse der finanztechnischen Metrologie«. This article presents a conventionalist interpretation of the financialization of the economy. We define three periods, each one associated with conventional calculation systems that may shape investment decisions. Each of these periods begins with the adoption by financial practitioners of a new “convention” to make investment decisions: the actuarial convention at the end of the 19th century, the mean-variance convention during the 1970s, and the marketconsistent convention since the 1990s. These conventions are rooted in finance theory developments and are associated with different financing circuits for economic activity. When a new convention arises, it does not mean the disappearance of the old one, which can still be used by some practitioners for certain given matters, but it can also redefine some financial professions by fragmenting them according to the convention followed, and it can finally also give rise to new professions.

TL;DR: In this article, a four-volume set brings together seminal articles on the subject from varied sources, creating an invaluable roadmap for scholars seeking to consolidate their knowledge of CDA, and of its continued development.
Abstract: Since the late 1980s, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has become a well-established field in the social sciences. However, in contrast with some branches of linguistics, CDA is not a discrete academic discipline in the traditional sense, with a fixed set of research methods. The manifold roots of CDA lie in a myriad of disciplines including rhetoric, anthropology, philosophy and cognitive science, to name a few. This four-volume set brings together seminal articles on the subject from varied sources, creating an invaluable roadmap for scholars seeking to consolidate their knowledge of CDA, and of its continued development. Sculpted and edited by a leading voice in the field, this work covers the interdisciplinary roots, the most important approaches and methodologies of CDA, as well as applications in other disciplines in an updated and comprehensive way. Structured thematically, the four volumes cover a wide range of aspects and considerations: Volume One: Histories, Concepts and Interdisciplinarity Volume Two: Theoretical Approaches and Methodologies Volume Three: 'Doing CDA' - Case Studies Volume Four: Applications and Perspectives - New Trends in CDA

TL;DR: The Human Side of Enterprise as mentioned in this paper is one of the most widely used management literature and has been widely used in business schools, industrial relations schools, psychology departments, and professional development seminars for over four decades.
Abstract: \"What are your assumptions (implicit as well as explicit) about the most effective way to manage people?\" So began Douglas McGregor in this 1960 management classic. It was a seemingly simple question he asked, yet it led to a fundamental revolution in management. Today, with the rise of the global economy, the information revolution, and the growth of knowledge-driven work, McGregor's simple but provocative question continues to resonate-perhaps more powerfully than ever before. Heralded as one of the most important pieces of management literature ever written, a touchstone for scholars and a handbook for practitioners, The Human Side of Enterprise continues to receive the highest accolades nearly half a century after its initial publication. Influencing such major management gurus such as Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis, McGregor's revolutionary Theory Y-which contends that individuals are self-motivated and self-directed-and Theory X-in which employees must be commanded and controlled-has been widely taught in business schools, industrial relations schools, psychology departments, and professional development seminars for over four decades. In this special annotated edition of the worldwide management classic, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Senior Research Scientist in MIT's Sloan School of Management and Engineering Systems Division, shows us how today's leaders have successfully incorporated McGregor's methods into modern management styles and practices. The added quotes and commentary bring the content right into today's debates and business models. Now more than ever, the timeless wisdom of Douglas McGregor can light the path towards a management style that nurtures leadership capability, creates effective teams, ensures internal alignment, achieves high performance, and cultivates an authentic, value-driven workplace--lessons we all need to learn as we make our way in this brave new world of the 21st century.
