Foggy Social Structures in a Knowledge-based Society (FOGSOC)
Prof. Dr. Michael Bommes, Dr. Holger Kolb
The main aim of the project "Foggy social structures in a knowledge-based society -
irregular migration, informal economy and the political system" will be the analysis
of the relationships between the growth and emergence of the informal economy, patterns of
irregular migration and the social conditions of knowledge production - what in this proposal
is labelled as "foggy social structures". The internal structural developments
of the informal economy, irregular migration processes and the modes of knowledge control
and production by the state are closely inter-related. FOGSOC will produce deeper knowledge
about the links between informal economies and irregular migrations as regular social contexts
producing social fog and the knowledge and control structures of tmodern society.
In this project the relationships between the emergence of foggy social structures as a
regular element of society, the specific constitutive social structures and modes of operation
of informal economies and irregular migrations - fields that are both at the same time regular
and deviant from normative social expectations - and the modes of coping with these structures
through the development of knowledge and control production (states and supranational organizations
including welfare administrations, statistical offices, police, border control units, and population
registration offices) are analysed.
