Zoltán Ginelli
Hungary – Independent researcher
Research area: Global geographical histories of race, capitalism and colonialism in Eastern Europe and how these aspects are reflected in Max Weber’s work. Comparative global development, Weber’s sociology of labor and his thoughts on race and migrant workers
‘I believe that this research should inform our contemporary discussions of Eurocentrism, colonialism, racism, nationalism, and the racialized exploitation of migrant labor in Eastern Europe, and may lead to new insights about decolonizing the social sciences in a global historical perspective. ‘Confucian rationalism meant rational adaptation to the world. Puritan rationalism: rational control of the world’ – Resultat: Konfuzianismus und Puritanismus’
