Previously he wass a research associate at the Centre for Cultural

Science in Tübingen (Germany), Eugene (Oregon) and Santiago de Chile. Andreas
worked a few years as a free lance journalist and gave seminars for the
German trade unions. Since 1996 he holds a PhD in Social Science from the
University of Tübingen. The book called Belegschaftskultur im Schatten der
Firmenideologie is an ethnographic case study of the way employees of a
multinational company in the information industry deal with their corporate
ideology. After completing the PhD he worked at the Institut für Arbeitswissenschaft (Department of Labor Studies) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germany) and studied the establishment of work groups in production plants and the self-organizational processes of these work groups. See also the publication Gruppenarbeit und Arbeitshabitus (1998, in 'Zeitschrift für Soziologie' 3). Currently he has four main research interests: - new media and cultural industries - anthropology of work - anthropology/sociology of art - new forms of ethnography (here I am especially interested in the theoretical and methodological implications of ethnographic studies of and within global worlds) |
