Christian von Scheve
Kommentar
What are the major cultural differences between the Member States of the European Union? How can one explain these differences? Are the cultural differences diminishing so that one can speak of a unified European culture? These are the three systematic research questions which underlie the structure of the lecture. The course will apply these questions to the different dimensions of culture. Apart from factual information, the course presents an overview of the different sociological concepts of culture and how different authors have used their concept to analyze cultural differences between European countries. The lecture will cover the following topics:
1. Different meanings of the term "Culture"
2. Europe's language constellations
3. Religion and secularization in Europe
4. Ethnic minorities in Europe
5. From materialistic to post-materialistic values
6. Europe in the context of a world culture
7. Collective identity and collective memories
8. Class differences in life style and cultural consumption
