General sociology (2019/2020)
Learning outcomes
The general objective of the course is to provide a basic knowledge of the theoretical-empirical reflections and acquisitions elaborated by sociology in relation to the different aspects of contemporary society, in order to identify the specific contribution of this discipline in characterizing the structural dynamics and processes changes that cross and qualify society.
Program
After having presented the main features of Durkheimian sociology, the course will focus on two of the most original innovators of this theoretical tradition, i. e. Erving Goffman and Pierre Bourdieu. On one hand, drawing on Goffman, we will discuss the social processes of construction of individuality and those regarding the ritual order of social interaction. On the other hand, drawing on Bourdieu, we will take into consideration concepts such as those of habitus, fields, symbolic capital and symbolic violence.
Prerequisites:
To fully understand the contents of the course it is not requested any particular knowledge, except some general notions of history of modern and contemporary philosophy.
CONTENTS:

What is social order? The Durkheim's answer
Social sanctions and moral sanctions

Erving Goffman
Being individual as a social fact;
the ritual construction of individuality: the face-work;

Pierre Bourdieu
The objectivism/subjectivism dilemma;
the interiorization of the social: the concept of habitus;
