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.
As culture exists of different dimensions, the course will apply these questions to the different dimensions of culture. The lecture is structured in eight parts.
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.
