| EDUCATIONAL AIMS THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE AN INSIGHT INTO SOCIAL THEORIES OF CONFLICT AND INTO THE WAY IN WHICH THE NARRATIVES PRODUCED BY THE CULTURAL INDUSTRY WORK TOGETHER TO DEFINE, LEGITIMIZE AND QUESTION THE SOCIAL WORLD. STUDENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED TO AN AUTHENTIC INTERDISCIPLINARY METHODOLOGY, RANGING FROM THE RETRIEVAL OF HISTORICAL SOURCES TO ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, FROM SUBJECT’S PSYCHOLOGY TO TEXTUAL HERMENEUTICS. AT THE HEART OF THE TRAINING PROCESS WILL BE THE ROLE – BOTH MATERIAL AND SYMBOLIC - PLAYED BY SOCIAL CONFLICTS. THROUGH THE LEARNING PROCESS, STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT SKILLS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO CRITICALLY ANALYZE THE MASS-MEDIA’S ROLE IN RELATION TO CONFLICTS PRODUCED BY CONTEMPORARY CAPITALISM. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO PROVE AN ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES COMPOSING THE SOCIAL SCIENCES. A KNOWLEDGE THAT, ON THE ONE HAND, WILL STRENGTHEN THE ONE ACQUIRED IN THE FIRST STAGE OF THE STUDY AND, ON THE OTHER, WILL ENABLE THEM TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE INTERPRETATIONS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND USE THEORETICAL CONCEPTS IN A CLEAR AND SOPHISTICATED WAY, TO APPLY A SOCIOLOGICAL THINKING TO SPECIFIC SOCIAL AND TERRITORIAL CONTEXTS; TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE HYPOTHESES CAPABLE OF CAPTURING THE ONGOING DYNAMICS OF ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS; TO ELABORATE CONCLUSIONS AND PROVIDE USEFUL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE POLICY MAKERS.. |

|---|---|
| THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF CONFLICT AS FORMULATED BY THE MAIN TRENDS OF CLASSICAL AND MODERN SOCIAL THEORY: FORMALISM (GEORG SIMMEL), FUNCTIONALISM (LEWIS COSER) AND MARXISM (THEODOR W. ADORNO). A LARGE SECTION WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE STUDY OF METHODOLOGIES ADOPTED TO ANALYZE CONFLICT, IN PARTICULAR, STRUCTURALISM AND DIALECTICS. FINALLY, THE COURSE WILL FOCUS ON THE STUDY OF A PARTICULAR TYPE OF SOCIAL CONFLICT THAT, IN THE CULTURAL FIELD, IS SUBSTANTIATED BY THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE SCIENCES (ROBERT K. MERTON) AND ON HOW THIS ACQUIRES ITS SYMBOLIC VALUE IN SCIENCE FICTION NARRATIVES (JULES VERNE). |
