CONTEMPORARY THEORIES OF THE SOCIAL

M

4

60

Syllabus: What do we mean by society? What are the legitimate ways of analyzing, describing and signifying the world in which we live? Following the example of the intellectual impulses that consolidated the Social Sciences at the beginning of the 20th century, the contemporary debates around the heuristic status of the social have reintroduced classic questions, which are dressed up as innovative, and have pointed to the emergence of epistemological perspectives that aim to renew the conceptual tools of the area at the start of this new millennium. With the aim of providing moments for collective reflection on the theoretical and methodological potential of approaches that challenge modern ways of understanding the human experience, this course discusses authors, conceptions and categories that promise to reconstruct the way in which we traditionally study the relationships between nature and culture, animality and humanity, body and mind, real and virtual, public and private, agency and structure, individual and society, local and global.
