Abstract Knowledge and Reified Financial Innovation: Building Wisdom and Ethics Into Financial Innovation Networks.David Rooney, Tom Mandeville & Tim Kastelle - 2013 - Journal of Business Ethics 118 (3):447-459.details This article argues that abstract knowledge in the form of formally developed theory plays an increasingly important role in the economy and in financial innovation in particular.knowledge is easily reified, and this is an aspect of knowledge work that is insufficiently researched. In this article, we problematize reification of abstract knowledge in financial innovation from wisdom, ethics, and social network analysis perspectives. This article, therefore, considers the composition and structures of financial innovation networks that help avoid reification by building ethicality (...)

Experiential careers: the routinization and de-routinization of religious life.Iddo Tavory & Daniel Winchester - 2012 - Theory and Society 41 (4):351-373.details This article develops the concept of experiential careers, drawing theoretical attention to the routinization and de-routinization of specific experiences as they unfold over social career trajectories.

In-Between Spaces. Pluralism and Hybridity as Elements of a New Paradigm for Religion in the Modern Age.Michaela Pfadenhauer - 2016 - Human Studies 39 (1):147-159.details We are living in an age of pluralization in which religiosity and secularity are not mutually exclusive. With subversive intent, Peter L. Berger relativizes with this thesis his criticism of secularization theory. In the light of the persistence and widespread nature of religion and religiosity, Berger still considers secularization theory’s assumption that modernization and secularization go hand in hand to be empirically untenable. At the same time, however, he acknowledges that a “secular discourse” has asserted itself globally and has achieved (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
