Transformative Philanthropy in the Anthropocene. Theoretical and Empirical Investigations

人类世的变革性慈善事业。

基本信息

项目摘要

Philanthropic foundations thrive and prosper in many democracies. Within the last decades they have grown in number and wealth. Moreover, an increasing number of them has adopted transformative agendas. These foundations do not only want to finance the common good and fight grievances, but instead seek to transform societal structures. For that purpose, they engage with global problem descriptions and specify the problems from their perspective so that they can develop and introduce solutions. The Anglo-Saxon Philanthrocapitalism even asks, "how the rich can save the world" (Bishop/Green 2008). The numeric growth of foundations and their expansion of activities partly roots in the uneven accumulation of wealth among a very few and in shifting mentalities of the foundations’ founders. Equally essential, however, is the ever more liberal legislation on foundations’ issues and the growing appreciation for the civil society. Part of this appreciation is the understanding that grand challenges, the ecological transformation among them, cannot be adequately tackled by formal politics alone. In this context, the ever-more influential formula of world observation Anthropocene offers, due to its de- and prescriptive totality, almost ideal scripts for the legitimation of the foundations’ ambitions and deeds. Accordingly, foundations have - both explicitly and implicitly - begun to pick up this formula and have become influential and powerful players of the ecological transformation. In doing so, they also shape the social spatiality and the spatial relations of the Anthropocene. As a particular type of organisation, they are, however, confronted with the fact that they lack direct ingress to their (social) environments. In addition, they also cannot take mandatory measures since they consider themselves as an integral part of the civil society. For goal attainment, they must primarily rely on the means of the gift. Against this backdrop, the project seeks to empirically unveil what transformative philanthropy in the Anthropocene is about, how philanthropic foundations shape their programmes for the ecological transformation and, therefore, the Anthropocene, and why they do it the way they do. Since there is currently no organisation theory of the foundation available that is both embedded in a general social theory and sensitive for spatial issues, the project also aims at developing such a theory. In the end, the project offers both empirical insights and theoretical abstractions about the phenomenon of transformative philanthropy in the Anthropocene which opens up the possibility to learn more about the foundations’ possibilities and limitations for the transformation of socio-spatial structures.
慈善基金会在许多民主国家蓬勃发展。在过去的几十年里,他们的数量和财富都在增长。此外,越来越多的国家通过了变革议程。这些基金会不仅希望为共同利益提供资金和消除不满,而且还寻求改变社会结构。为此,他们参与全球问题描述,并从他们的角度具体说明问题,以便他们能够制定和提出解决方案。盎格鲁-撒克逊的慈善资本主义甚至问,“富人如何拯救世界”(主教/绿色2008)。基金会数量的增长及其活动的扩大,部分根源在于极少数人财富积累的不均衡以及基金会创始人心态的转变。然而,同样重要的是,关于基金会问题的立法越来越自由,民间社会越来越受到重视。这种认识的一部分是理解重大挑战,其中的生态转型,不能仅仅通过正式的政治来充分解决。在这种情况下,越来越有影响力的世界观察公式“人类世”由于其去规范性和规范性的总体性,为基金会的野心和行为提供了几乎理想的合法化脚本。因此,基金会已经-无论是明确的还是隐含的-开始采用这一模式,并已成为生态转型的有影响力和强大的参与者。在这样做的过程中,它们也塑造了人类世的社会空间性和空间关系。然而,作为一种特殊类型的组织,它们面临着这样一个事实,即它们缺乏直接进入其(社会)环境的途径。此外,他们也不能采取强制性措施,因为他们认为自己是民间社会的一个组成部分。为了达到目标,他们必须主要依靠礼物的手段。在此背景下,该项目旨在通过经验揭示人类世的变革性慈善事业是什么,慈善基金会如何塑造其生态转型计划以及人类世,以及为什么他们这样做。由于目前还没有一个既嵌入一般社会理论又对空间问题敏感的基金会组织理论,该项目也旨在发展这样一个理论。最后,该项目提供了关于人类世变革性慈善事业现象的经验见解和理论抽象,这为更多地了解基金会在社会空间结构转型方面的可能性和局限性提供了可能性。
