In an interview, sociologist Ulrich Bröckling discusses the recently published ‘Glossar der Gegenwart 2.0’, which features 34 contemporary terms reflecting societal changes since the original 2004 version. He explains the selection process for the terms and emphasizes their relevance in depicting modern governance, self-formation, and human leadership. Bröckling notes that concepts like mindfulness, nudging, and digitalization illustrate the current state of society, advocating for a broad understanding of these terms rather than a singular overarching theme.
