Synopsis

This course introduces Honours students to a range of social-scientific studies that offer understandings of selfhood, and the relationship between individuals, groups and social institutions. It consists of two halves:
Part A - Social identities: issues and applications (e.g. national and ethnic identities, class consciousness, gendered identities, identity politics);
Part B - Concepts of selfhood: major traditions (e.g. interaction and performance, discourse, reflexivity and the postmodern self).
