WiSe 23/24: Living Together in Difference: Classical and Contemporary Debates
Sergio Costa
Comments
Discussions about the potentialities and challenges of coexistence in societies marked by cultural and social heterogeneity have accompanied sociology since its inception. More recently, these debates have become increasingly diverse and complex - for various reasons. Firstly, research on intersectionality has emphasized the need to link cultural diversity and social inequality. Secondly, many groups previously viewed as objects of diversity research (such as minorities and migrants) have become authors, broadening the perspectives of analysis.
This course provides an overview of classic and contemporary authors and currents that are most relevant to debates about living together in difference, from Max Weber and Norbert Elias to current discussions about belonging and conviviality. To achieve this, each session of the course will focus on a paradigmatic text or texts from each relevant author or current in these debates. The final sessions will be dedicated to comparisons of the different strands studied in relation to specific issues.
