I am a sociologist teaching cultural theory and analysis at Zeppelin
University. My research interests cover sociological theory, society,
and culture, the economy, organization, and management. I am doing
sociological systems theory with special reference to a form calculus
of distinctions, aiming for a sociology of a possible next society
which is able to deal with the information overflow brought about by
the computer and its derivatives. See
here for a list of my
publications, and
here
for selected bits of some reviews of my work. Find below a sample of
some papers on
different areas of research and some handouts and reading lists for
students' use.
