Autorenporträt
Roland Paulsen is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Lund University. His research focuses on medical sociology, cultural studies, and the sociology of work. The meaning of work, and also the meaninglessness of work, are the subjects of two of his books: Empty Labor: Idleness and Workplace Resistance (2014) and Return to Meaning: A Social Science with Something to Say (with Mats Alvesson and Yiannis Gabriel, 2017).
Rezensionen
"Paulsen's book is a fascinating and penetrating analysis of our late-modern anxieties when we are confronted with the basic uncontrollability of the world - and a passionate plea for regaining a robust trust in life that does not depend on control and domination."

Hartmut Rosa, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany
