Aktuelle Forschungsthemen

In his research, Martin Petzke investigates the ways in which social-scientific expertise, statistics, and numerical indicators shape, intervene in, and transform the social world. He is particularly interested in dynamics of universalization, i.e., in processes through which particular practices and perspectives, anchored in a particular location of social space, are able to impose themselves as universal, taken-for-granted norms and ontologies.

He has pursued such questions

- in the field of religions, examining the role religious statistics played in the emergence and perpetuation of global evangelical missions since the nineteenth century and how such quantitative perspectives led even non-Christian religions to buy into an essentially North-American logic of interdenominational competition;

- in the political measurement of immigrant integration, exploring how statistics helped integration officers establish their jurisdiction in the administrative ecology and how civil servants compiled a set of indicators that inadvertently set up their own class-cultural lifestyle as an ideal of integration;

- with regard to the activities of the Verein für Sozialpolitik and missionaries in the German Empire, investigating how tacit analogies between colonial and metropolitan debates played a crucial part in universalizing a bourgeois, culturally Protestant national culture in Germany.
