This article begins by identifying a close relationship between the image of children generated by several sociologists working within the new sociology of childhood perspective and the claims and ambitions of the proponents of children's autonomy rights. The image of the child as a competent, self-controlled human agent are then subjected to observation from the perspective of Niklas Luhmann's social systems theory. The new sociology of childhood's constructivist approach is compared and contrasted with Niklas Luhmann's theory of 'operational constructivism'. The article applies tenets of Luhmann's theory, to the emergence of the new childhood sociologist's image of the child as a competent, self-controlled social agent, to the epistemological status of this image and, in particular, to claims that it derives from scientific endeavour. The article proceeds to identify two theoretical developments within sociology - sociology of identity and social agency - which have brought about fundamental changes in what may be considered 'sociological' and so 'scientific' and paved the way for sociological communications about what children,really are'. In conclusion, it argues that the merging of sociology with polemics, ideology, opinion and personal beliefs and, at the level of social systems, between science and politics represents in Luhmann's terms 'dedifferentiation'- a tendency he claims may have serious adverse consequences for modern society. This warning is applied to the scientific status of sociology - its claim to be able to produce 'facts' for society, upon which social systems, such as politics and law, may rely. Like the mass media, sociology may now be capable of producing only information, and not facts, about children.

El artículo analiza los procesos de cambio en el pensamiento educacional durante los años sesenta, a partir de una relectura de la revista Archivos de Ciencias de la Educación en su 3ra época (1961-1967). El trabajo también constituye un primer intento de apropiación del concepto de externalización desarrollado por Jurguen Schriewer (1993 y 2010) para el estudio del conocimiento educacional, siguiendo la sociología de Niklas Luhmann. La relevancia de esta perspectiva teórica radica -a nuestro juicio- en que posibilita reinscribir las derivas del pensamiento pedagógico local en el contexto más amplio de las dinámicas de circulación, difusión y apropiación selectiva del conocimiento educacional a nivel mundial y regional

Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems has been widely influential in the German-speaking countries in the past few decades. However, despite its significance, particularly for organization studies, it is only very recently that Luhmann's work has attracted attention on the international stage as well. This Special Issue is in response to that. In this introductory paper, we provide a systematic overview of Luhmann's theory. Reading his work as a theory about distinction generating and processing systems, we especially highlight the following aspects: (i) Organizations are processes that come into being by permanently constructing and reconstructing themselves by means of using distinctions, which mark what is part of their realm and what not. (ii) Such an organizational process belongs to a social sphere sui generis possessing its own logic, which cannot be traced back to human actors or subjects. (iii) Organizations are a specific kind of social process characterized by a specific kind of distinction: decision, which makes up what is specifically organizational about organizations as social phenomena. We conclude by introducing the papers in this Special Issue. Copyright © 2006 SAGE.

A pesar de las grandes tensiones observadas en la discusión teórica de las ciencias sociales de las últimas décadas, que van desde el énfasis individualista de la elección racional y el conductismo, hasta la mayor atención en las estructuras y la interacción de los actores en el neo institucionalismo, uno de los puntos en los que parecería haber cierto acercamiento se halla dado en la necesidad de plantear estudios de carácter interdisciplinario. Sobre dicha base, el presente trabajo constituye un esfuerzo por analizar algunas ideas que, desde la tradición sistémica, pueden servir como elementos de juicio para entender de forma más amplia las decisivas relaciones suscitadas entre política y derecho, entre politólogos y juristas.

Suele percibirse a la sociedad y a la política como dos objetos de estudio antagónico, incluso enfrentados. La teoría luhmanniana de sistemas rompe esta línea argumental propia de la tradición sociológica del siglo XIX redefiniendo ambos concepto Su abordaje interdisciplinario, en este sentido, da cuenta de la sociedad como un sistema complejo organizado de manera acéntrica a partir de una multiplicidad de sistemas autónomos e intercomunicados ubicado en un mismo nivel jerárquico y sin un órgano central encargado de conducirla. Toda una ruptura con las teorías de Marx, Weber y Durkheirn, para quienes el sistema político ocupaba el centro social.

The dream of a cosmopolitical utopia has been around for thousands of years. Yet the promise of being locally situated and at the same time globally connected and mobile has never seemed more possible than it is today. The question remains as to whether it is positive and realistic for us to have multiple loyalties. Can we sustain community and solidarity with our neighbours while we look beyond our nation? And if we can't - or won't – consider distant strangers as part of our own world, are there increasingly dire consequences? This book reconnects classical sociological theory and contemporary ideas on mobility, otherness, material assemblages, consumption and surveillance to render the idea of a global cosmopolitan utopia amenable to sociological investigation. The book takes a realistic approach to the development of cosmopolitical arrangements. It embraces the imaginative impulses the cosmopolitan dream provides, but takes into account the political, ethical and cultural dimensions of such cosmopolitan developments. In revisiting the relevance of classical sociological approaches in the context of contemporary theoretical challenges, the distinctive approach this book takes to understanding cosmopolitanism will be of use to scholars and students alike.

The world of football is a matter of life and death for many of its fans, and has also attracted much sociological attention. Much of this scholarly work focuses on issues such as deviance, identity, globalisation and commodification (Elias and Dunning 1986; Giulianotti and Robertson 2009). More recently, there has been some evidence of a cultural approach to football and to the football shirt (Benzecry 2008). In this paper, we seek to develop this trend by examining the football shirt as a totem, and by understanding it as inserted into circuits of the sacred and the profane, and the authentic and the inauthentic. Through examples such as shirt throwing, badge kissing, shirt swapping and supporters‟ efforts to construct alternative, protest strips, we show that the football shirt is deeply embedded in narratives of authenticity, sacredness and profaneness. In doing so, we aim to represent football as a rich cultural practice, which involves secular rituals and performances.
