该研究小组关注的是现代晚期社会中法律、性别和集体的共同建设。我们感兴趣的是，社会冲突如何被表现为按性别和合法组织的集体进程的一部分。在一个紧密交织的、跨学科的过程中，我们关注集体的出现和主体性的构建。为此，这六个项目--法律研究、社会学、欧洲民族学、历史和性别研究--调查了中等水平的集体。在第一个供资期间，我们考虑了集体的各种总体状态和强度。我们对标准化、分类和固态化进程的初步观察得到了证实：现代晚期社会的特点是动态的冲突，这些冲突挑战社会凝聚力，并有助于集体的出现和转变。与此同时，我们记录了对源自这些集体的社会性、参与性和团结性的新的和改变的形式和想象的多种引用。因此，我们对第二个资助期的出发点是，集体是推动社区、共同利益和团结的社会谈判的重要力量。所有项目都将侧重于产生冲突的一般谈判，以及共同的做法和想象力。我们将这些视为探索新形式的社会团结和凝聚力的现实世界实验。我们预计，这里会出现一些明显区别于原本脱节的社会存在感的东西：迷失或被独特质疑的普遍遭遇的经历，希望建立一个新的、不那么抽象的共同空间，并寻找共享的新空间。为此，我们还开展了其他领域的研究：气候诉讼(项目A)；跨国价值链和劳动力迁移(项目B)；城市公共和住房公地的做法和冲突(项目C)；消费者保护(项目D)；公共交通和助产保健背景下的福利基础设施建设(项目E)；以及男女同性恋运动的人权教育倡议(项目F)。在这些领域，我们首先问，性别、法律和集体如何塑造各自观察到的动态、做法和进程，进而又如何有助于性别、法律和集体的重新配置。然后，第二，我们更严格地调查这些集体内部对一般和共同问题的答复。

The research group focuses on the co-construction of law, gender and collectivity in late modern societies. We are interested in how societal conflicts are represented as part of gendered and legally organised collective processes. In a closely interwoven, interdisciplinary process, we focus on the emergence of collectivity and the construction of subjectivities. To this end, the six projects – in legal studies, sociology, European ethnology, history and gender studies – investigate medium-level collectives.During the first funding period, we accounted for a variety of aggregate states and intensities of the collectivity. Our initial observations about processes of standardisation, categorisation and solidarization were confirmed: Late modern societies are characterised by dynamic conflicts that challenge societal cohesion and contribute to the emergence and transformation of collectives. At the same time, we documented manifold references to new and altered forms and imaginaries of sociality, participation and solidarity originating from such collectives. Hence, our point of departure for the second funding period is that collectives are important forces driving societal negotiations of community, the common good and solidarity. All projects will focus on conflict-producing negotiations of the General, and on practices and imaginations of the Common. We grasp these as real-world experiments in which new forms of social solidarity and cohesion are explored. We anticipate that something becomes visible here that distinctively distinguishes the otherwise disjointed sense of the social-present: Experiences of the lost or uniquely questioned General encounter hopes for establishing a new, less abstract Common, and for finding new spaces of the Shared.To this end, we take up additional fields of research: climate litigation (project A); transnational value chains and labour migration (project B); practices and conflicts of urban commoning and housing commons (project C); consumer protection (project D); welfare oriented infrastructuring in the context of public transport and midwifery care (project E); and human-rights education initiatives of lesbian and gay movements (project F). In these fields, we ask, firstly, how gender, law and collectivity shape the respectively observed dynamics, practices and processes, and, in turn, how these contribute to the reconfiguration of gender, law and collectivity. We then, secondly, more rigorously investigate the responses within these collectives offered to the question of the General and the Common.
