In diesem Artikel wird ein Autor-Kritiker*innen-Treffen zum Buch "Revolution and Witchcraft: The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times“ von Gordon C. CHANG nachgezeichnet. Die Sitzung fand während der Jahrestagung der Social Science History Association (SSHA) 2024 in Toronto statt. Neben dem Autor nahmen an der Podiumsdiskussion der Soziologe Andrew CHALFOUN (University of California, Los Angeles), der Soziologe Tad SKOTNICKI (University of North Carolina, Greensboro), die Historikerin Aminda SMITH (Michigan State University) und der Kommunikationswissenschaftler J.R. OSBORN (Georgetown University) teil. Der höchst unkonventionelle, interdisziplinäre Charakter des Buches löste einen spannenden Dialog aus. Es wurden unterschiedliche Meinungen zu folgenden Punkten geäußert: 1. Wie – und ob – CHANG mit seinem "Kodifizierungsmodell” einen praktikablen, originellen Ansatz der Wissenssoziologie vorangetrieben hat; 2. die Nützlichkeit dieses Modells für Wissenschaftler*innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen, die sich mit Ideensystemen und sozialen Phänomenen befassen; 3. der Unterschied zwischen empirisch und ideell basierten Ideensystemen; und 4. wie die mikroskopische Analyse von Sprache kausale Aussagen über makroskopische Muster von humanistischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Relevanz ermöglichen könnte. Diese Fragen ergaben sich aufgrund von Unterschieden zwischen verschiedenen Ansätzen des Interaktionismus und der historischen Analyse. In diesem Dialog werden methodische Entscheidungen und Urteile offenbart, die in CHANGs eklektischer Studie eine Rolle gespielt haben, sowie Anwendungen und Bereiche zukünftiger Entwicklungen, die ansonsten im Forschungsprodukt verborgen bleiben.
