Doua teste bibliografice acoperind materia parcursa in cadrul discutiilor de la curs si lecturilor obligatorii, reprezentind fiecare 50% din nota finala.

Obiectivul general al disciplinei - Cursul isi propune sa introduca discutiile teoretice si metodologice importante din ultimii 50 de ani din stiintele sociale. Fluidizarea granitelor disciplinare a facut ca rezultate teoretice si metodologice din lingvistica, studii culturale, istorie, colonialism si postcolonialism, feminism, biologie sau critica literara sa influenteze modul in care sociologii gindesc socialul. Cum concepem actorul social, relatiile sociale si actiunea sociala se reflecta in conceptele pe care le construim ca sa intelegem realitatea sociala si in metodologiile pe care le folosim ca sa deslusim raporturile micro-macro, procesele prin care se stabilizeaza structurile sociale si ideologiile, si modul in care se formeaza subiectivitatea persoanelor.

Vom urmari cum sunt redefinite granitele si continutul obiectelor sociale si felul in care pot fi cunoscute. Intelegerea socialului in moduri radical diferite ne determina sa regindim relatia dintre producatorul cunoasterii si obiectul cunoasterii, dintre cunoastere si putere, si dintre contextul in care e produsa cunoasterea si forma pe care o ia. Vom discuta in particular perspectivele colonialista si postcolonialista, sociologia istorica, epistemologii feministe, si perspectiva relationala. Aceste contributii teoretice, pornite din experiente empirice concrete, au dus la miscari sociale importante, care au determinat transformari semnificative in relatiile sociale (desegregare etnica si rasiala, actiune afirmativa, mobilizari la locul de munca, miscari de eliberare nationala etc.)

Obiectivele specifice - In cadrul cursului studentii (1) vor fi familiarizati cu principalele probleme teoretice si epistemologice ridicate in cadrul dezbaterilor examinate si cu modul in care pot fi antrenate de sociolog in cercetarea sa; (2) vor dezvolta capacitatea de a intelege si problematiza critic procesele sociale, folosind repertoriul teoretic si epistemologic deprins. Totodata, acest curs urmareste sa educe studentii in a fi reflexivi, auto-reflexivi, si responsabili in propriile demersuri profesionale, din orice pozitie profesionala se gasesc, fie ca e vorba de cercetarea unui aspect al socialului, de analiza sau proiectarea unei politici publice, de consultant privind o problema sociala, de dezvoltarea unui nou produs de catre o institutie financiara, de munca intr-o comunitate sau cu oamenii dintr-o organizatie.

In timpul cursului studentilor li se va oferi posibilitatea să isi discute propriile proiecte de diploma, în relatie cu problematizarile, conceptualizarile, deschiderile si raportarile ocazionate de lecturile alese, daca doresc acest lucru.
