»Eine ‚moderne‘ Madrasa: Deoband und koloniale Säkularität«. This article situates the emergence of the Deoband movement, an Islamic revivalist movement based at India’s Dar al-‘Ulum Deoband madrasa (seminary), within concepts of colonial secularity in British India. It shows how the decline of first Mughal and then British patronage for Islamic learning, as well as the post1857 British policy of non-interference in ‘religious’ matters, opened up a space for Deobandi scholars to re-conceive the madrasa as a ‘religious’ institution rather than one engaged in the production of civil servants, to reimagine the ‘ulama’ as stewards of public morality rather than professionals in the service of the state, and to reframe the knowledge they purveyed as ‘religious’ knowledge distinct from the ‘useful’ secular knowledge promoted by the British. The article treats this production of ‘religious’ knowledge and space as discourse of distinction similar to those explored elsewhere in this HSR Special Is-

»Flexible Arbeitspraktiken: Eine Analyse aus pragmatischer Perspektive«. Traditional human resource management (HRM) research can hardly relate to today's developments in the world of work. Organizational boundaries are blurred because of the complexity due to globalization, digitalization, and demographic changes. In practice, new ways of organizing work can be found that depend on the specifics of the work situation. In this paper, we build on the economics of convention (EC) to elaborate on the current challenges HRM scholarship is confronted with and provide a theoretical lens that goes beyond the tension between market and bureaucracy principles in actual employment settings. We apply EC’s situationalist methodology to examples of the challenging coordination of flexibility in the workplace. We explain two hybrid forms of coordination – compromises and local arrangements – and highlight the dynamics of employment practices in organizations related to these forms. Thereby, we show that different modes of coordination in employment are applied in a fluctuating manner that depends on the specific situations. In doing so, we further seek to remind HRM scholars of the fruitfulness of the pragmatist perspective in analyzing work practices, as well as extending its conceptual toolkit for future analysis.

»Maß für Maß: Die Politik, Individuen zu quantifizieren, um sie zu regieren«. This article compares a variety of modes of quantifying individuals to govern them. The analytical grid issues from a former research program on the Politics of Statistics that focused on one of these modes of governing by numbers, the statistical nation state, which is here included in an array of more recently developed governing numbers based on benchmarking, digital tracking, or self-quantifying. Three main operations differentiate modes of governing by numbers: measuring individuals for quantification, taking political measures accordingly to guide their behaviors, and an intermediate operation that is often less visible although situated between the two previous ones and needed to link them: evaluating the situation through a measured judgment that justifies the monitoring based on numbers. This analysis breaks down data into the sequential steps of the transformations chain of information formats needed to pass from an individual person to a governing figure. The plurality of modes of evaluation, and its reduction by quantification, is given high significance, as well as the way each mode of governing affects individuals, their identity and their possibility to critically reflect and question.
[masß fzr masß: Die Politik, Individuen zu quantifizieren, um sie zu regieren]。本文比较了各种量化个体的模式来治理个体。分析网格问题来自统计政治学以前的一个研究项目,该项目关注的是这些数字治理模式中的一种,即统计民族国家,这里包括一系列最近开发的基于基准、数字跟踪或自我量化的治理数字。三种主要操作区分了数字治理模式:衡量个人进行量化,采取相应的政治措施来指导他们的行为,以及一种中间操作,这种操作通常不太明显,但位于前两种操作之间,需要将它们联系起来:通过经过衡量的判断来评估情况,证明基于数字的监测是合理的。这种分析将数据分解为信息格式转换链的顺序步骤,这些信息格式需要从个人传递到管理人物。评估模式的多元化及其量化的简化,以及每一种治理模式影响个人的方式、他们的身份以及他们批判性反思和质疑的可能性,都被赋予了高度的意义。

This paper provides an introduction and overview for this special issue's collection of important new work in the history of celebrity. It sets the scene by explaining the main difficulties that have beset the development of a historiography of the very contemporaneous phenomenon of celebrity. A key issue is how one understands the historical emergence of the "public sphere," and how confident one should be that the historical narrative concerning the public sphere and celebrity should begin in the 18th century, rather than in earlier periods. It outlines what is particularly significant and innovative about the contributions to this special issue, and draws out their implications for the ever-expanding scope of the history of celebrity.

Historical studies of celebrity, or particular instances of it, focus on figures who had fame which could be tied to a particular achievement or ascribed status; for example, writers, politicians, actors, artists, composers, musicians, and monarchs. These studies suggest that there were certain shifts which occurred during the 18th century which allowed celebrity to develop, that there were many theatrical and literary celebrities during this period and that the phenomenon really gained traction in the Romantic era. These studies put paid to the idea that celebrity is a very recent phenomenon, the product of technological developments (though many still do make the claim). What they have not done adequately is test the edges of the phenomenon of celebrity. Casanova's well-knownness has been given no critical attention by scholars of either Casanova or of historical celebrity. However, he was a celebrity and in such an archetypically modern way that he calls into question the currently perceived historical limits of celebrity. His case study demonstrates that there is much more to be done in relation to investigating historical celebrity and that plotting its origins in the Romantic era or even the mid-18th century may be to give it short shrift.

»Die Dynamik von Authentifizierung und Fälschung«. Uncertainty often arises around objects concerning the relevant qualities that determine their value in different markets. The existence of conventions of quality allows to reduce this uncertainty but these conventions can be used strategically. So, other resources must be mobilized to authenticate objects relying on sensed experience. In this contribution, we present first our model of expertise and we then adopt a historical perspective questioning the plurality of regimes of authenticity. This plurality depends on the conception of copying and on the different ways of attributing authorship between law and social norms. These sources of variation have changed the resources mobilized in authentication and thus its mode of organization and legitimation. The growing importance of scientific and legal guarantees in the current exchanges of high-value goods reflects the creation of a market for authentication and raises the question of
" Die Dynamik von Authentifizierung und Fälschung "。不确定性经常出现在与决定其在不同市场中的价值的相关质量有关的对象上。质量惯例的存在允许减少这种不确定性,但这些惯例可以策略性地使用。因此,必须调动其他资源来根据感知经验对对象进行身份验证。在这篇文章中,我们首先提出了我们的专业知识模型,然后我们采用了一个历史的视角,质疑真实性制度的多元性。这种多元性取决于复制的概念以及法律和社会规范对作者身份的不同认定方式。这些变异的来源改变了认证中调动的资源,从而改变了认证的组织模式和合法性。在目前的高价值商品交换中,科学和法律保障的重要性日益增加,这反映了鉴定市场的建立,并提出了以下问题

»Öffentliches Schuldenmanagement zwischen Disziplin und Kreativität. Energie-Einspar-Contracting in Deutschland«. The determination of government debt levels is a complex multilayered process subjected to constant reform. In the aftermath of the 2007-8 financial crisis, a twofold reform trend has emerged. On the one hand, the European Commission demands and supports stronger harmonization of national accounts, thereby eliminating loopholes for creative accounting practices such as public-private partnerships or swap deals, which increase government debt levels in many cases. On the other hand, the European Commission demands and supports new forms of ‘creative financing’ such as Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs), a specific form of public-private partnership designed to meet climate change investment goals. Adopting a lens of French Conventionalism, we highlight conflicts within statistic and accounting frameworks and their moral-political trajectories. We derive insights into these broader conflicts by examining the concrete case of national statistics and public sector accounting practices in the German EPC field.
»Öffentliches Schuldenmanagement zwischen Disziplin und Kreativität。能源-灵感-合同在德国«。政府债务水平的确定是一个复杂的多层次过程,需要不断改革。在2007- 08年金融危机之后,出现了一种双重改革趋势。一方面,欧盟委员会要求并支持加强国民账户的协调,从而消除公私合作或互换交易等创造性会计做法的漏洞,这些做法在许多情况下会增加政府债务水平。另一方面,欧盟委员会要求并支持新形式的“创造性融资”,如能源绩效合同(EPCs),这是一种旨在实现气候变化投资目标的公私合作伙伴关系的特殊形式。采用法国传统主义的镜头,我们强调统计和会计框架及其道德-政治轨迹内的冲突。我们通过研究德国EPC领域的国家统计和公共部门会计实践的具体案例来深入了解这些更广泛的冲突。
