300150 Sociological Theory (S) (SoSe 2021)

Contents, comment

This course will cover pretty much the same terrain and topics that most other sociologists would try to cover when teaching sociological theory. It will cover basic concepts and topics like action, communication, norms, roles, deviance, institutions, conflict and social differentiation and then will go through some of the main approaches or theoretical paradigms of our discipline, in particular exchange theory and the rational choice perspective, systems theory, field and praxis theory and discourse analysis and also touch on some of the more technically advanced methods relating to these issues most notably game theory, network analysis and conversation analysis.

Requirements for participation, required level
