Environmental Sociology

15127 - Seminar

Prof. Dr. Bernhard Gill

Mo. 10-12 Uhr c.t., Konradstr. 6, 109
Beginn: 24.04.2017   Ende: 24.07.2014

Environmental sociology asks a) how societies could make themselves forget (for a century or two) that they are depending on natural environments b) why natural environments are becoming nowadays a concern for some groups and narratives and not for others c) what elements and problems are focused and which are ignored (again by different groups and narratives) d) how social inequalities are distributed and articulated in the wake of "nature becoming real" – i.e. the ecological crisis becoming consented. The seminar will study how these questions are approached from different traditions within social theory.
