Advanced Lecture Course
SoSe 24: Globalization and Regional Development
Sergio Costa
Comments
This lecture course is an introduction into the sociology of global entanglements which posits that social transformations reflect interdependent processes that take place in various world regions simultaneously. Due to still hegemonic methodological nationalism, sociologists have underestimated these interdependencies, instead focusing on allegedly isolated nation-states and their distinct “cultures”. A growing number of critical works from fields such as postcolonial and global sociology have therefore developed new approaches grasping transnational and transregional entanglements. In its first part, this course will offer a critical overview of these new perspectives, highlighting their analytical promises and deficits. The second part is dedicated to studying themes of global relevance to illustrate entanglements across time and space. close
