Zusammenfassung
Der Aufsatz expliziert das von Talcott Parsons entwickelte theoretische Modell der gesellschaftlichen Gemeinschaft. Nach diesem Modell stellen die Vereinigten Staaten einen besonderen, nämlich weit von askriptiven Zugehörigkeiten entfernten Typus der gesellschaftlichen Gemeinschaft dar. Auf diesen Typus wird im Einzelnen eingegangen und seine Struktur herausgearbeitet: zivilgesellschaftliche Selbstorganisation, Pluralismus und kompetitiver Voluntarismus. Im Anschluss daran werden die gegenwärtige Mutation vom Pluralismus zum Multikulturalismus und die damit verbundene Ethnisierung des Kampfes um Gleichheit dargestellt, der im weiteren Verlauf eine Vergeschlechtlichung dieses Kampfes folgt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Frage des verlorenen Gemeinsinns einer in den Gruppenpartikularimus zerfallenden Gesellschaft geklärt: Erscheinungsformen, Ursachen und Fehleinschätzungen.
Abstract
This article explains the theoretical model of the societal community developed by Talcott Parsons. According to this model the United States represent a peculiar type of the societal community which is far away from ascriptive membership. This type is analysed in detail. Its structure is elaborated: civic self-organization, pluralism and competitive voluntarism. The next step of the analysis spells out the present mutation from pluralism to multi-culturalism and the accompanying ethnicization of the struggle for equality which is complemented in the further development by the genderization of this struggle. Against this background the question of declining community spirit in a society falling apart in group particularism is clarified: forms of appearance, causes and false accounts.
Résumé
L’article énonce formellement le modèle théorique de la communauté sociale développée par Talcott Parsons. Selon ce modèle, les Etats Unis représentent un type particulier de communauté sociale, notamment éloigné de celles d’appartenance ascriptive et de mémoire. Les particularités de ce type sont abordées, dont la structure est analysée; auto-organisation de la société civile, pluralisme et volontarisme compétitif. Dans un deuxième temps les mutations actuelles et particulièrement l’évolution de cette société plurielle vers une société multiculturelle, ainsi que l’évolution du caractère ethnique de la lutte pour l’égalité vers un antagonisme de genre sont examinées. En dernier, dans ce scénario, la question de la perte du sens communautaire d’une société qui se décompose en un particularisme des groupes (communautarisme) est analysée: phénoménologie, raisons ainsi que les erreurs de jugements répandues à cet égard.
