This course introduces you to the subject matter of sociology by looking at a diverse range of research areas. In the manner of case studies we will consider the transitions from modernity into the present. We will ask to what extent these transitions and transformations are reflected in those cases, to what extent traditional and modernist structures and norms are resilient, and what these cases could tell us about the nature of contemporary society. Also, the different topics may serve as problematising mini-introductions to the respective specialist sociologies.
