In dem Review Essay zu Tim SEITZ' Buch "Die Praxis des Nudging" untersuche ich dessen Beitrag zur aktuellen Nudging-Debatte und zu den Science and Technology Studies (STS). Ich beleuchte SEITZ' methodologischen Ansatz, der sich durch eine praxeologische Analyse der Herstellung von Nudges, d.h. verhaltensökonomisch raffinierten Denkanstößen, auszeichnet, und zeige, wie er damit die etablierte machtkritische Perspektive der Gouvernementalitätsstudien erweitert. Besonderes Augenmerk lege ich auf seinen doppelten Forschungsfokus: die Untersuchung sowohl der Produktion von Nudges als auch der wissenschaftlichen Wissensproduktion über Nudging. Ich hebe die theoretische Fundierung und die dialogische Verknüpfung von Theorie und Empirie hervor und würdige die gelungene textuelle Performanz des Buches. SEITZ' Arbeit ist aus meiner Perspektive wegweisend für die kritische Analyse komplexer sozialer Problemlösungsstrategien, bei denen es um die praktische Passung von Problem, Lösung und Evidenz geht.... view less

In the review essay regarding Tim SEITZ's book "The Practice of Nudging," I examine its contribution to the current nudging debate and to science and technology studies (STS). I discuss his methodological approach, which is characterized by a praxeological analysis of the production of nudges—behavioral economic interventions designed to influence decision-making—and demonstrate how he extends the established power-critical perspective of governmentality studies. Particular attention is given to SEITZ’s dual research focus, namely his investigation of both the production of nudges and the scientific knowledge production surrounding nudging. I emphasize the theoretical foundation of his work and the dialogical connection he draws between theory and empirical research, and acknowledge the book's clear structure and high level of readability. From my perspective, SEITZ's work is groundbreaking for the critical analysis of complex social problem-solving strategies, particularly those concerned with the practical alignment of problem, solution, and evidence.... view less
