Silences in sociological theorising, or: how social order is not for us
journal contribution
posted on 2017-03-16, 12:20 authored by Hendrik Vollmer[First paragraph] Disruptions have always been of special interest to sociologists, and my colleagues who have so
kindly followed up on The Sociology of Disruption (Vollmer 2013) in this journal have pointed to a
number of nuances to this interest that are well worth attending to. Their commentaries are
contributions to the sociology of disruption in their own right, and despite the important differences
they are indicating their contributions are overall very much congenial to what I had been trying to
accomplish in the book. Michael Dellwing (2017) elaborates on the vulnerability of the interaction
order and extends the sociology of disruption towards the sociology of deviance and to
investigations of contemporary media economies. Tobias Röhl (2017) picks up in particular on
differences between disruptive situations and the later re-doing of disruptiveness and solicits
additional attention to the role of material arrangements, infrastructures and non-human agents in
such doings and re-doings of disruptiveness. The contribution by Thomas Scheffer (2017) explores
the broader theme how disruptions as continuously redone collective accomplishments are carried
forward in time within a collective, which situates disruptive events in wider social and societal
settings and thus emphatically re-iterates the central organising theme of the book.
