Henrik Enroth – författare

The problem of social order is the question of what holds complex and diverse societies together. Today, this question has become increasingly urgent in the world. Yet our ability to ask and answer the question in a helpful way is constrained by the intellectual legacy through which the question has been handed down to us. In this impressive, erudite study, Henrik Enroth describes and analyzes how the problem of social order has shaped concept formation, theory, and normative arguments in political science. The book covers a broad range of influential thinkers and theories throughout the history of political science, from the early twentieth century onwards. Social order has long been a presupposition for inquiry in political science; now we face the challenge of turning it into an object of inquiry.

In the wake of globalization, the humanities and social sciences have explored the existence and the possibilities of human community on a global scale. But these investigations have been developed within separate academic disciplines, with little exchange of ideas across disciplinary boundaries. This book draws together a variety of perspectives to offer an interdisciplinary, and critical, examination of global community past and present. The volume opens with a contribution by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, one of the world's most renowned scholars in the humanities, then follows up with original contributions by established and promising young researchers from across the humanities and the social sciences. The chapters provide conceptual, normative and empirical investigations of global community, examining it through the lenses of postcolonialism, cosmopolitanism, world literature, transnational networks, and global ethics. The book contributes to a renewed debate about the past, present and future of global community, allowing for a broader and deeper understanding of these timely phenomena across disciplinary boundaries.

Auktoritet har stor betydelse för mänskligt samspel och är något vår dagliga tillvaro påverkas av på många olika vis. Men det är samtidigt en undflyende kategori, som ofta kopplas ihop med övertalningsförmåga å den ena sidan och med tvång å den andra, men egentligen är skild från båda. Vilken relation har auktoritet till makt? Vem kan tala eller handla med Auktoritet? Vad är det som gör auktoritet legitim? Och kan man förhålla sig till den? Hur ser spelreglerna ut?Den här antologin – ett resultat av en tvärvetenskaplig seminarieserie vid Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper vid innéuniversitetet i Växjö – har auktoritetsbegreppet i fokus men närmar sig det ur en rad olika ämnesperspektiv, däribland kultursociologiska, religionsvetenskapliga, historiska och pedagogiska. Texterna anknyter till i sammanhanget relevanta reoretiker som Émile Durkheim, Max Weber och Hannah Arendt men visar framför allt på hur olika uttryck auktoriteten har tagit sig genom historien utan att för skull upphöra att vara just auktoritet. I boken medverkar: Ella Andrén, Peter Aronsson, Henrik Enroth, Anna Eskilsson, Malin Henriksson, Hans Hägerdahl, Malin Lennartsson, Anna Lund, Stefan Lund, Torsten Löfstedt, Magnus P. S. Persson, Jonas Svensson och Mats Trondman. Samtliga är verksamma vid Linnéuniversitetet i Växjö.
