SOC 377 Critical Insights into Resistance Full Curriculum Program 2017/2018 Year - Prague

This course explores the history of socio-political resistance. If disagreement can be considered universal, insubordination and dissent directed towards the policies of ruling elites has a specific and well-established tradition. Intellectual agitation in this regard can be considered fundamental to the human experience given that it questions the given rules of those who govern society. Throughout the course, the dualities generated by the possession of power will be examined, such as those of hunger and plenty, terror and force, silence and speech, toil and leisure, restriction and freedom. Within this framework, historical case studies are organized around themes of inequality, pacifism, feminism, religion, conquest, oppression, discrimination.
