ANTR-4101 Seminar on Contemporaneous Social Theories

This seminar presents and discusses lines of thought and influential contemporaneous sociological and anthropological theories conceived over the last few decades of the 20th Century. Several of these theoretic orientations are a response to and reflect transformations in experiences, social practices and the expectations of extensive sectors and social agents in the world today. The study points out backgrounds and relationships between different fields of social life, thought and contemporaneous social theory. It attempts to give students the chance to appreciate different approaches and perspectives on aspects of contemporaneous social reality and the forms of viewing it, without exhausting all the possible approaches or perspectives.
