Video interview with Uwe Schimank

Prof. Dr. Uwe Schimank, Bremen, uses his video to present a systematic analysis from three theoretical perspectives. He juxtaposes capitalism, social differentiation and the inequality theory in order to underline their respective particular characteristics. Although his cultural theory explanation of the correlations between these points of view does not include a symbiotic interwovenness between man and machine, it is still able to display the possible cultural effects of technological developments. This enables him to describe a different kind of polarisation in the form of the outcome of technological progress. Uwe Schimank carries out research into the sociological theory of modern society.
