Cíle předmětu

This course will cover some of the most pressing themes in sociology in the early twenty-first century. A sociological theme is typically associated with a relatively long debate and tends to be an underlying concept or phenomena, recurring throughout it and unifying it. Discussed topics include recent social movements and civil action, urban subcultures of discontent, and the role of nonhumans in social reality. Seminars will deal with literature from multiple academic journals including, while also discussing studies in depth. Students are expected to actively participate in a seminar and write a term paper (2000 words) addressing the subject of one of the seminars. Term papers should discuss the chosen topic in reference to two academic texts published in a sociological journal in the last 10 years
