Short content

The course examines the ways in which social life is organized and transformed. It questions the everyday assumptions which shape our lives and reflects in a systematic way on critical issues discussed in pre-modern, modern or postmodern social theories and research. The course will present views on topics central to social research and the nature of modern societies from classical perspectives to the most recent dominant perspectives within different disciplines in social sciences. The interdisciplinary setting of the course provides a context where the theoretical and substantive issues raised in such disciplines as sociology, political science, communications, cultural studies, women’s studies, anthropology, and international relations can be further explored and critically reflected upon.
