Learning outcomes
The course aims to present the basic theoretical concepts useful for studying and analyzing the different forms that power assumes in human social organizations and the ways in which it manifests itself and is consolidated thanks to different communication tools, in addition to the consequences that this causes in terms of stratification, discrimination, hierarchies. The course aims to present the classical ethnographic cases of literature to strengthen a broad capacity to recognize the historical character of the processes of construction of power and the ideological character of the representations that legitimize it, starting from different conditions of social life. At the end of the course the student acquires the ability to identify and theoretically frame the dynamics that run through societies in terms of competition for power and legitimate (or not) use of force, control of communication and orientation of consciences and construction of consensus. and legitimation of political structures.
