A new seminar for PhD-students and advanced students from any discipline, interested in social theory broadly conceived.

Registration for the seminar on theoretical social research: Foucault, fall 2014
The first meeting is 24.9 (Pinni B3109), after that we meet 1.10. (chapters 1 & 2) (Pinni B3109) and then every second week (Pinni B3117), reading two chapters of the text for each meeting. Should be fun.
Social emotions (5 ECTS)
Wed 5th of Nov - 17th of Dec 2014 weekly at 9-12 Linna 6017.
In everyday life different emotions and sensations are often seen as individual, personal and as lacking of social or political significance. This course has as its point of departure an idea of affects, emotions and senses as socially, culturally and historically shaped and potentially collective. The social significance of affects, emotions and senses is examined as well as the ways how they are linked with wider structures of power. Attention is paid to such questions as how affects, emotions and senses participate in the production of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and class. In addition, the methodological challenges of studying non-lingvistic, non-conscious and embodied experiences and systems of meaning-making are discussed.
This interdisciplinary course combines different research traditions such as sociology of emotions, feminist theories of affect, social scientific approaches to the body, anthropology of the senses and critical psychology. Themes are approached though preliminary readings, traditional lectures, group discussions and different practical tasks. The course also aims at developing new and experimental approaches to collective learning. The course, being targeted mainly at students who have a basic understanding of social research, can be used to compensate both intermediate and advanced level courses upon agreement. Active participation in lectures and exercises is required to pass the course. In addition, the students are expected to compose a learning journal.
