Learning outcomes

Conoscere e comprendere gli aspetti sociologici caratterizzanti i concetti di socializzazione, socializzazione primaria e identità. Conoscere i principali approcci teorici allo studio della socializzazione primaria in quanto processo atto a favorire la costruzione dell'identità sociale, in relazione ad un contesto socioculturale. Comprendere la relazione tra identità e differenza, anche attraverso il concetto di stigma e di inferiorizzazione sociale. Conoscere le diverse agenzie di socializzazione caratterizzanti il contesto attuale, con particolare riferimento alla famiglia, e le relative tecniche di socializzazione. Applicare le conoscenze apprese dalla letteratura al fine di riconoscere e descrivere i processi che conducono alla costruzione dell’identità sociale e della differenza. Individuare e analizzare le diverse agenzie di socializzazione con particolare riguardo alla famiglia come primo ambito di socializzazione, in relazione ai suoi più recenti cambiamenti, in rapporto alle altre agenzie e al contesto generale. Riconoscere i concetti appresi e le relative dimensioni e caratteristiche, come una sorta di "cassetta degli attrezzi" per affrontare da professionisti, l'odierna complessità caratterizzante il processo di socializzazione.

Program

To achieve these objectives, the course will deal with the following topics:
• A changing context: "liquid" modernity and complexity
• The socio-cultural system and the learning of roles
• Primary socialization and socialization: from the contribution of the classics to the current perspectives of study
• Socialization, identity and difference
• The family as a primary socialization agency
• Socialization and "extrafamily" agencies: childcare services, peer group, media
• How to socialize: relationship and communication
• Stigmatization and social inferiorization
• Types of stigma
• Stigma and social relations

The topics present in the program will be introduced during the lessons and can be found in the following reference texts:

- Landuzzi M. G., La socializzazione primaria e le sue caratteristiche, Ed. Libreria Cortina, Verona, 2016
- Goffman E., Stigma. L'identità negata, Ombre Corte, Verona, 2003
The didactic modalities adopted in the classroom foresee the use of:
- lectures, dedicated to the transmission of the basics and the key-categories, useful for the implementation of theoretical knowledge;
- interactive lessons, characterized by the analysis of films and illustrative material, from the common discussion, group work, exercises and where possible, from the relationship with privileged witnesses. These lessons aimed at improving learning skills, applied comprehension, team work , relationship and communication.


Throughout the academic year, the teacher is available for individual reception by appointment.
The monthly calendar of receptions is published on the web under "notices".
The program is valid for everyone (attending and not attending), until the last appeal of February 2021.
Erasmus students are requested to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course.

Examination Methods

The assessment of learning outcomes is the same for all (attending and non-attending students) and includes an oral exam with remote modalities; the final evaluation is expressed in 30/30.
The oral exam consists of an interview aimed at verifying:
- knowledge of the topics studied
- communication skills and language properties
- the ability to connect knowledge in a systemic form
- the ability to analyze and compare different points of view.
"The remote mode is still guaranteed for all students who request it in the academic year 2020/21".
