SoSe 22: Collective Identity: From Cognition to Culture
Christian von Scheve
Comments
Collective identity is a concept frequently invoked in sociological and social science research, in particular when dealing with nation related issues such as identification with a nation or social integration and cohesion. Upon closer examination, however, collective identity still remains a theoretically rather opaque concept and operationalization in empirical studies is a matter of debate. This seminar aims at developing an understanding of the basic building blocks of collective identity at the individual level and how they relate to cultural (macro) processes. The seminar will be divided into three parts: First, students will get acquainted with different theories and concepts of collective identity and learn about the cognitive and affective processes underlying identity formation. Second, we will discuss the conditions under which collective identities develop and the ways in which they impact collective action. Third, these aspects will be related to concrete cultural and socio-historical domains, in particular the formation of national identity and, using various case studies, the construction of a European identity. close
