Learning Objectives
Il corso mira a fornire i principali elementi concettuali da osservare - sia dalla teoria critico-dialettica che costruttivista delle prospettive dei sistemi di comunicazione - la genesi socio-storica di alcuni dei processi e fenomeni culturali più importanti dell'età moderna, con un focus principale su le conseguenze e l'impatto di questi processi e fenomeni in diversi contesti educativi. In particolare, gli studenti dovranno sviluppare (nelle prime tre settimane di lezione) le competenze necessarie per un'analisi interdisciplinare e comparativa di una parte significativa della tradizione classica della sociologia teorica - per quanto riguarda il suo contributo agli studi sull'istruzione - e (in la quarta e la quinta settimana di lezioni) i cambiamenti strutturali e semantici evidenziati dal XVII secolo.
Program
The topics will be addressed in the following order.1) La relazione individuo / società nella teoria sociologica classica; 2) Il problema hobbesiano dell'ordine e del contratto sociale; 3) La relazione organica individuo / comunità; 4) L'ordine sociale capitalista e il declino del sistema di corporazione; 5) Strutture della società e semantica dell'educazione; 6) Conoscenza vs. informazione; 7) Teoria dei sistemi di istruzione e comunicazione; 8) L'inclusione / esclusione del metacode nella modernità spiegata; 9) Le radici culturali del disagio sociale nella società contemporanea; 10) Istruzione, identità e socializzazione; 11) Processi di riflessione: riforma, capacità di apprendere (deutero-apprendimento) e cultura della valutazione; 12) La relazione educativa e le soluzioni organizzative al problema della selezione; 13) Spazi espressivi ravvivati dal desiderio creativo; 14) Il problema del coordinamento tra struttura emotiva ed elaborazione cognitiva; 15) Neuroscienze e teoria della società; 16) Psicoanalisi e processi socio-culturali: il corpo come memoria.

3. Judgment capability: critical thinking about changing cultural forms and their impact in educational settings; ability of comparison between different scientific perspectives (e.g. comparative reading of essays, articles, etc.).
3.1. This capability reveals itself during lessons, through the interaction with the teacher and the colleagues, as well as in the final exam.
4. Communication skills: students have to interact actively in class, asking questions, reacting to inputs coming from the teacher.
