项目摘要

The project aims at reconstructing the ongoing process of communicative construction of excessive gambling as an "addiction" - thus as a treatable and manageable "disease". The study will examine the debates in eight state parliaments of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Bundestag since the 1980s. Doubtlessly the parliamentary discourse is part of a larger discourse formation, in which several participants (lobby organizations, churches, think tanks of political parties, welfare organizations, the constituencies of representatives, the media and many more) are trying to establish their point of view and to push through their particular interests. Because a large portion of this discourse takes place hidden from sight, the study will not try to reconstruct the discourse as a whole. Instead it will examine the discourse in a nutshell on the level of parliamentary debates asking how and with which arguments, from which political parties and in which constellations the interpretative pattern of "addiction" has continually won ground. Analyzing the discourse on excessive gambling this study will not only identify arguments, processes and dynamics of the discursive reinterpretation of a social problem - and thus lead to results useful for the sociology of knowledge in general as well as for a diagnosis of contemporary society. Furthermore it aims at detecting new and not yet dominant lines of discourse, which in coming years may become very significant not only in the discourse, but in the societal understanding of excessive gambling. Methodologically, the study refers to a sociology of knowledge approach to discourse.

该项目旨在重建过多赌博的沟通构造的持续过程，以作为一种“成瘾”，因此可以作为一种可治疗和可控制的“疾病”。该研究将研究德国联邦共和国八个州议会和自1980年代以来德国联邦政府的辩论。毫无疑问，议会话语是更大的话语形成的一部分，其中几个参与者（游说组织，教堂，政党的智囊团，福利组织，代表，媒体等人的选民）都在努力建立他们的观点，并努力履行其特定利益。由于这种话语的很大一部分是从视线中隐藏的，因此该研究不会试图重建整个话语。取而代之的是，简而言之，它将在议会辩论的水平上审查话语，询问如何以及与哪些论点，哪个政党以及哪个星座的解释性“成瘾”的模式不断赢得胜利。分析有关赌博过度的论述，这项研究不仅会确定对社会问题的话语重新解释的论点，过程和动态，因此导致结果对一般知识的社会学以及对当代社会的诊断有用。此外，它旨在检测新的且尚未占主导地位的话语，在未来几年中，这不仅在话语中，而且在社会对过度赌博的理解中变得非常重要。从方法上讲，研究是指知识方法的社会学。
