Sylabus

This course concentrates on key debates within last century’s social theory by means of commented reading. Systematic attention is paid especially to the ways by which social theory analyzes transformations and transitions of contemporary societies - and to the problem: how are these transformations reflected in the research agenda of the social sciences? The course is interdisciplinary in its design. In which society do we live?Postmodernism and its consequences for social thought.Globalization.Postcolonialism.Theory of culture and cultural studies.New Capitalism.Transformations of identity.Multiculturalism.Civil society.Cosmopolitanism and the idea of Europe.Civilization analysis.Postcommunism. Readings:Alexander, JeffreyModern, Anti, Post and Neo. Rodrigo Cordero, Francisco Carballo, José OssandónPerforming Cultural Sociology: A Conversation with Jeffrey Alexander. Seidman, StevenThe End of Sociological Theory - The Postmodern Hope. Wolfe, AlanWeak Sociology - Strong Sociologists. Heinz Bude, Jörg DürrschmidtWhat's wrong with globalization?: Contra 'flow speak' - towards an existential turn in the theory of globalization. Victor RoudometofGusts of Change: The Consequences of the 1989 Revolutions for the Study of Globalization. Gregor McLennanSociology, Eurocentrism and Postcolonial Theory. Gurminder K.
