WiSe 17/18: Theories of Integration
Harald Wenzel
Comments
Notions of social integration and social order have long been considered to be constitutive for social theory. More recently, though, this focus has been fading and has given way to both, more basic and more complex conceptualizations of the social. -----
This lecture course presents a sketch of this long trajectory. It offers an overview of the different paradigms and theoretical perspectives that historically have focused on social integration – starting with Durkheim’s classical approach to the problem of the social division of labor in modern society and ending with modern systems theory. Alternative conceptualizations of the social are explored in addition to these classical approaches of sociological theory. Their spectrum reaches from Pragmatism to Performative Studies, Ethnomethodology and the work of Bruno Latour. -----
