  2. On the Way to a Post-Familial Family.Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim - 1998 - Theory, Culture and Society 15 (3-4):53-70.
    Whereas, in preindustrial society, the family was mainly a community of need held together by an obligation of solidarity, the logic of individually designed lives has come increasingly to the fore in the contemporary world. The family is becoming more of an elective relationship, an association of individuals who each brings to it their own interests, experiences and plans, and who are each subjected to different controls, risks and constraints. It is therefore necessary to devote much more effort than in (...)

    From Rights and Obligations to Contested Rights and Obligations: Individualization, Globalization, and Family Law.Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim - 2012 - Theoretical Inquiries in Law 13 (1):1-14.
    Individualization and globalization are recent trends that bring fundamental transformations of modern society. In this Article, I will first outline what individualization and globalization imply on a general level, and how in particular they affect families. I will then argue that individualization and globalization also imply some major consequences in the field of family law: Today, norms and beliefs in respect of what is right and proper in regard to personal lives multiply and compete with one another, new family models (...)

    Women & social transformation.Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim, Judith Butler & Lidia Puigvert (eds.) - 2003 - New York: P. Lang.
    <I>Women and Social Transformation brings three women from different countries together into dialogue. Judith Butler is the most referenced author in current feminist literature, and we find the latest developments of her work in this book; Lidia Puigvert has recently reached international relevance with her contribution about the -other women-, who have not yet had a voice in feminism; and Elizabeth Beck-Gernsheim complements this debate with her work about immigrant women. The authors argue the need to open feminism to the (...)

    Abschied von der Aufklärung?: Perspektiven der Erziehungswissenschaft.Heinz-Hermann Krüger & Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim (eds.) - 1990 - Opladen: Leske + Budrich.
    In seiner Einladung zur Mitwirkung hatte der Herausgeber als Arbeitstitel für diesen Band formuliert: "Erziehungswissenschaft am Ausgang der Moderne"; von dieser Vorgabe sind meine Überlegungen an geregt worden. 2 Dahmer I Klafkis (1968) "Ausgangs' -Diagnose war fast noch druckfrisch als die Renaissance der geistes wissenschaftlichen Pädagogik einsetzte. 3 Auf die sich die Postmoderne-Debatte aber nicht reduzieren läßt. 4 Weitere Varianten sind im Kontext evolutionstheoretischer Entwürfe der Pädagogik oder im Anschluß an new-wave-philosophies entstanden, vgl. z.B. Treml 1987 sowie Huschke-Rhein 1988. Auf (...)
