There are no specific prerequisites to take this course
The main objective of the course is to offer discursive resources (theoretical and methodological) that allow you to start in the sociological imagination, helping you to analyze and understand how the structure of human interdependencies has changed (from modernity to the present day) and which have been the effects of these variations. In this analysis and in this understanding we will pay very special attention to the different forms of governance, control and social resistance, and in the forms of "sociality", "individualization" and "subjectivity" that they entail.
It is not intended to address all the implications of this discipline, but to offer the bases of the sociological perspective in order to analyze the basic aspects of the social structure and inequalities. After a brief introduction to the sociological perspective, a mark of the discipline, the program focuses first on the process of socialization and the implications it has on the individual-society dialectic relationship. Secondly, the key aspects for understanding the social structure are addressed, linking the question of power and social control. Third, it explains how the processes linked to the social construction of identity are immersed in social structures, power and control. Finally, the great current questions about the structure of inequalities in the global world are explored: the change in the class structure and the creation of new forms of identity, considering gender as those most suggestive of being understood in the present.
Topic 1: The sociological perspective
Topic 2: How do we become social? Dialectic individual and society.
Topic 3: What place do we occupy on the world stage? Social structure, power and control.
Topic 4: The social construction of identity: modernity and institutionalization.
Topic 5: Processes of change in the contemporary world (postmodernity, globalization and diversity)
The teaching is articulated from two types of sessions in the classroom: lectures by the teacher and seminars, where practical exercises and readings by students are carried out.
The lectures are oriented to the presentation by the teacher of the concepts and central arguments of the subject in the different contents of the program. all classes will promote the active participation of students based on questions for the debate.
The seminars are workspaces on the contents of the subject based on readings and practical exercises that the students have to do. Thus, the training activities will be of different types

The evaluation consists of two parts:
2. A final homework with six short questions solve all the subject's syllabus (40%)
In order to be able to take the final exam, it is necessary to have followed the continuous evaluation (that is, to have participated in the classes, presented the two practical works and the exercise of reading commentary in the classroom). Otherwise, the student will be considered "not evaluable". Likewise, if having the conditions to do so, the student does not appear for the final exam, it will be automatically recorded as "not evaluable".
In case the average of the evaluation continues and the final exam does not reach the grade of 5, the student will be considered to have suspended the evaluation.
In order to participate in the student recovery exam, the weight of which must be at least 2/3 of the total grade must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities. The suspended student has the right to recovery if he/she has taken a grade higher than 3.5 in the whole of the evaluation. The recovery of any of the suspended parts will consist of an examination. The final maximum score that can be obtained, if the recovery exam is passed, will be a 5.
At the time of completion of each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the grades.
IMPORTANT
In the event that the student performs any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation of the grade of an evaluation act (such as plagiarism or similar), this evaluation act will be scored with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In case there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject (such as plagiarism or similar), the final grade of this subject will be 0.
EVALUATION IN CASE OF NON-ATTENDANCE:
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
