Kommentar
Globalisation processes have changed social inequality between and within countries and created new losers and winners. In the seminar, we will mainly focus on the analysis of the winners of this development – the formation of a global social class. Using Bourdieu’s terminology members of this group can be described as possessing different forms of capital (economic, social, cultural, and symbolic capital) that makes them independent from their respective nation state.
The course offers firstly an introduction to the analysis of social inequality in times of globalisation by discussing central terms and theoretical concepts. Secondly, we will focus on specific characteristics and strategies of members of a global social class: e.g. transferring assets in tax havens, sending children in private international schools, buying several passports and citizenships, practising a specific global lifestyle.
