teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

The course aims to offer an overview the history of sociology and of the main social changes that have taken place in the European continent from the first industrial revolution to the advent of the major transformations underway in contemporary societies, increasingly determined by the processes of globalization and financialization.
The sociological theories of Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, the School of Chicago, the Frankfurt School, Goffman, Bourdieu, Beck and others will allow to analyze, in particular, the main factors characterizing the first “industrial and salary societies” of the late nineteenth century (urbanization and proletarianization, the first migrations from the countryside to the cities, Fordism, social inclusion and exclusion, the impact of the religious factor – Christianity and Protestantism – on the birth of capitalist societies and on the relationship between community and society); the “Welfare Societies” that characterized the Sixties (the cultural industry, the rise in fashion and consumption, the critique of the “authoritarian personality” and sexual freedom, the relationship between society and psychoanalysis); “Risk and Performance Societies” that characterize present times (financialization of the markets and the de-standardization of labour, the crisis of the social bond and processes of individualization, fear, crisis and social alarmism, management).
