Abstract
The present volume is an inventory of the redeployment of the research program of the segment “Sociology of membership, sociological Theory,” “Globalization, modernization, multiple modernities” of ProtoSociology. It inevitably presented itself due to the changes in contemporary society, of which many representatives of sociological theory are increasingly aware after the turn of the century. From the outset, a simple research program and easy research tasks were not to be expected. The theoretical orientation is the focus on membership theory and membership sociology as a research program in sociological theory (Preyer 2018a, b, d). The sociology of membership requires a fundamental understanding of the sociology of the next society to provide the reader with the corresponding theoretical plausibility.
