Topic Description
25.08.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Neo-Functionalism (Jaffrey C. Alexander)
Jaffrey C. Alexander’s biography, work and his theoretical concepts. Neofunctionalism is a revival of the thought of Talcott Parsons by Jeffrey C. Alexander.
26.08.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Neo-Functionalism (Jaffrey C. Alexander)
What is neo-functionalism- how is it different from functionalism. Major component of this theory. to create a form of structural functionalism that is multidimensional and includes micro as well as macro levels
of analysis to push functionalism to the left and reject Parsons’s optimism about modernity to argue for an implicit democratic thrust in functional analysis to incorporate a conflict orientation, and to emphasize uncertainty and interactional creativity.
27.08.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Social construction of reality (Berger and Luckman)
Berger and Luckman: life, major work and his contribution to Sociological theory. The major assumption of this theory is understanding, significance, and meanings are developed not separately within the individual, but in coordination with other human beings. The elements most important to the theory are (a) the assumption that human beings rationalize their experience by creating a model of the social world and how it functions and, (b) that language is the most essential system through which humans construct reality.
28.08.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Social construction of reality (Berger and Luckman)
How this theory integrate the macro and micro level of reality to understand the society and social processes. Social constructs as facets of reality and objects of knowledge are not "given" by nature, they must be constantly maintained and re-affirmed in order to persist. This process also introduces the possibility of change: what "justice" is and what it means shifts from one generation to the next.
01.09.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Integrative Paradigm (George Ritzer)
George Ritzer: Life, work and his contribution to Sociology. Ritzer contends that sociology needs an integrated paradigm in order to add to the extant paradigms noted in Sociology: A Multiple Paradigm Science. Ritzer proposes an integrated paradigm dealing with the interrelationships between the many levels of social reality
02.09.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Integrative Paradigm (George Ritzer)
Definition and meaning of the concepts macro and micro theory. What are their different dimensions. Based on his original article appearing in the American Sociologist, this book provides a foundation for Ritzer’s other works on metatheory. The piece applies Thomas Kuhn's idea of scientific paradigms to sociology and demonstrating that sociology is a science consisting of multiple paradigms. Ritzer also discusses what implications this has for the field of sociology.
03.09.2014 9:00A.M.-10:00A.M.
6 Integrative Paradigm (George Ritzer)
Micro and macro integration process and necessity of this integration in sociological theories. macrostructures, often simply called 'structure', correspond to the overall organization of society, described at a rather large-scale level, featuring for instance social groups, organizations, institutions, nation-states and their respective properties and relations. In this case, societal macrostructures are distinguished from societal microstructures consisting of the situated social interaction of social actors, often described in terms of agency. This distinction in sociology has given rise to the well-known macro-micro debate, in which microsociologists claim the primacy of interaction as the constituents of societal structures, and macrosociologists the primacy of given social structure as a general constraint on interaction.
