Contemporary Social Theory - SOCI329
This unit introduces students to some key themes and theorists in contemporary social theory and political theory. In particular, it explores competing diagnoses and responses to the winding back of the post-war compromises between democratic states and corporate capitalism. Instead of taking a serial approach to the study of social and political theories, this unit will focus on their, at times diametrically opposed, contributions to a broad problem complex. Organised as a seminar series, the unit will draw from the work of the following: Jurgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Axel Honneth, Raewyn Connell, Johann Arnason
