Which criteria are we sorting ourselves and each other by? Connecting Human Differentiation with Systems Theory, Anthropology, and Social Complexity.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Human differentiation encompasses human classification and categorization processes that we encounter on a daily basis. Klaus Behnam Shad offers a new framework of human differentiation that emphasizes social complexity and intersectionality. Uniquely integrating systems theory with political, psychological, and biological anthropology, this systemic-anthropological approach firmly rejects culturalizing, moralizing, and ideologizing stances that claim a supposed superiority. This provides valuable insights into group-based differentiation processes that would otherwise remain inscrutable.

Der Sozial- und Kulturanthropologe studierte an der UniversitΓ€t zu KΓΆln und promovierte 2020 am Fachbereich Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften der Freien UniversitΓ€t Berlin mit einer Dissertation ΓΌber Emotionen im Asylprozess. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte umfassen KΓΌnstliche Intelligenz im Kontext von A.I. & Society, politische und psychologische Anthropologie, soziale KomplexitΓ€t sowie IntersektionalitΓ€t.
