    Extensive considerations are imperative to address the increasingly urgent social and cultural issues that national societies encounter within the process of emergent global expansion. With respect to sociology, this requirement applies to images of disciplinary self-conception and the formulation of scientific tasks, to relationships with other disciplines, with politics and practice. Likewise, it relates to what has been seen to give meaning to the theoretically and methodically established delimitations of object spaces and research areas. Not least, such issues impact the societal role adopted by the social sciences, associated over the past two decades with the notion of scientific "crisis". The issues that bridge the discussions of such transitions in the present anthology refer to the entwinements of theory and empirical work, ageing and generational research, areas of development studies and internationalization. They also deal with the life course and quality of life, the gender division of labor, health and prevention, as well as epidemiological and ethnological-sociological case studies in Africa. Quite simply, we are coming to perceive a transitional situation in various respects. Taking up the above transitional perspectives, authors from Great Britain, France, Germany and Austria - including C. Attias-Donfut, U. Beck, M. Kohli, M. Johnson, U. Lehr, L. Rosenmayr and others - develop analyses and suggestions that serve to determine anew the role of interdisciplinarity in sociology. These scholars have identified a substantial deficiency in theory, accompanied by bursting quantities of detailed empirical material in various fields of research, and propose to realign research objectives. The broad perspectives plotted in this volume provide the grounds for further scientific debate.Auf die sozialen und kulturellen Fragen, die sich im Prozess zunehmend globaler Erweiterung den nationalen Gesellschaften mit wachsendem DrĂ€ngen stellen, muss mit weitreichenden Überlegungen geantwortet werden. In der Soziologie trifft dies disziplinĂ€res SelbstverstĂ€ndnis und wissenschaftliche Aufgabenstellung, das VerhĂ€ltnis zu anderen Disziplinen, zu Politik und Praxis, und schließlich das, was bislang die theoretisch und methodisch begrĂŒndeten Abgrenzungen von Objektbereichen oder Forschungsfeldern sinnvoll erscheinen liess. Nicht zuletzt rĂŒhren solche Fragen auch an die gesellschaftliche Rolle der Sozialwissenschaften, die in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten mit der Vorstellung einer "Krise" dieser Wissenschaften assoziiert worden ist. Die Themenbereiche, unter denen diese UmbrĂŒche im vorliegenden Sammelband diskutiert werden, betreffen die Verflechtungen von Theorie und Praxis, die Alters- und Generationenforschung, Gebiete der Entwicklungssoziologie und der Internationalisierung, Lebenslauf und LebensqualitĂ€t, Arbeitsteilung zwischen den Geschlechtern, Gesundheit und PrĂ€vention sowie epidemiologische und ethnologisch-soziologische Fallstudien in Afrika. Unschwer wird erkennbar, dass wir es in verschiedenerlei Hinsicht mit einer Umbruchsituation zu tun haben. Autoren und Autorinnen aus Grossbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland und Österreich (unter ihnen so bekannte wie C. Attias-Donfut, U. Beck, M. Kohli oder M. Johnson und U. Lehr sowie L. Rosenmayr) entfalten unter den genannten Umbruchperspektiven Analysen und VorschlĂ€ge, die die Rolle der InterdisziplinaritĂ€t in der Soziologie neu bestimmen lassen können, anhand ĂŒberbordenden empirischen Detailmaterials in verschiedenen Forschungsfeldern einen erheblichen Theoriemangel sichtbar machen, und die Neubestimmung von Forschungsaufgaben nahe legen. Die weiten Perspektiven, die angelegt werden, bieten Anlass zu vielfĂ€ltiger wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung
