Frequency and benefits of regional networks within the German capital goods industry. Based on a representative study, the paper focuses on how frequent regional networking occurs, which firms cooperate in networks more often than others, and which benefits come with regional networks for participating firms. Extending the approach of earlier studies, the paper measures effects of regional networks by observing specific performance characteristics, immediately depending onto the networking activity. The empirical results show that networks offer synergies. Surprisingly, low-profit firms are particularly often engaged in regional networks.

Music Reception

This article focuses on the phenomenon of listening to music via radio transmission. In an examination of linguistic findings and media archaeological observations, the specific performance characteristics of mediatized music are worked out using the example of a radio broadcast of a Beethoven symphony. The music-aesthetic and sociological essay “The Radio Symphony: An Experiment in Theory” (1941), written by Theodor W. Adorno during his stay in New York, is subjected to a re-reading. Although Adorno showed the full scope of his cultural conservatism in this essay, his thoughts nevertheless exemplify a function of technically mediated music reception that seems to be constitutive for the concept of musical performance as a whole.

Abstract. A number of people believe that results from neuroscience have the potential to settle seemingly intractable debates concerning the nature, practice, and reliability of moral judgments. In particular, Joshua Greene has argued that evidence from neuroscience can be used to advance the long-standing debate between consequentialism and deontology. This paper first argues that charitably interpreted, Greene’s neuroscientific evidence can contribute to substantive ethical discussions by being part of an epistemic debunking argument. It then argues that taken as an epistemic debunking argument, Greene’s argument falls short in undermining deontological judgments. Lastly, it proposes that accepting Greene’s methodology at face value, neuroimaging results may in fact call into question the reliability of consequentialist judgments. The upshot is that Greene’s empirical results do not undermine deontology and that Greene’s project points toward a way by which empirical evidence such as neuroscientific evidence can play a role in normative debates.
