Für eine Soziologie, die sich als Form gesamtgesellschaftlicher Analyse versteht, sind Organisationen in zweifacher Hinsicht analytisch zentral: auf der einen Seite als korporative Akteure, als emergente soziale Phanomene ('Gebilde'), auf der anderen Seite als Modus der Strukturierung sozialer Wirklichkeit, als sozialer Prozess. In beiden Hinsichten sind Organisationen sowohl in ihrer Konstruktivitat und Historizitat wie auch als Akteure und Aspekte der herrschaftlichen Strukturierung und Formbestimmtheit des Sozialen zu untersuchen. Diese Zusammenhange sind für Fragen nach der Formierung materieller wie symbolischer Lebensprozesse, der im weitesten Sinne ökonomisch-politischen Regulation und wissensanalytischen Konfiguration sozialer Wirklichkeit von zentraler Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Band steckt diesen Problemhorizont in theoretischen wie materialen Beitragen ab.
