Description

The course will engage with a range of contemporary social theories dealing with the complexity of everyday life. Topics covered include: networks, flows and globalisation; self-identity, sexuality and gender; governance, bio-politics and digital environments. The course will track the different ways in which theorists in these topic areas focus their concerns on, and provide descriptions of, the ceaseless experimentation characteristic of contemporary forms of communication, time-spaces, culture, and everyday life.
