The objective of this course is to
On completion of this subject, students will:
· Gain a strong understanding of the development of liberal democracy in modern history from a sociological and political perspective.
· Understand essential conceptual ideas and theories related to Sociology.
We live in a time of an impossible reasonable debate, demagogical times animated by the vertiginous rise of populism, authoritarianism, climate emergencies and rampant social inequalities. These are the present conditions of late modernity, a situation that can be described as suffering from an entangled set of pathologies in various spheres in the context of extreme polarization of elite formations.I will argue that much of the responses of social sciences can be characterized as classically liberal but politically illiberal – in short, I call this “Symbolic Liberalism” or the “Symbolic Liberal project” (SL). This project distorts the definition of justice by deflating the concept of social justice and inflating the conception of the universality of human rights and considers only one possible conception of the good as being an inherent part of the conception of justice. As an alternative to SL, I propose the concept of Dialogical Sociology (DS), which revolves around a kind of balance between collective and individual political liberal project and acts seriously against social inequality and in favor of the conception of justice while allowing the plurality of the conception of the good.This course provides the students with knowledge on constitutive elements of the transformation of liberal democracy globally by assessing notions of relevant concepts.

| The course will be held in the form of a seminar, including lectures and class discussions. Seminar Presentation Each student is required to give at least an oral presentation on a chosen topic. The presentation should last no more than 25 minutes. The presentation will be based on the assigned readings and additional readings. The presenter will provide a synthesis of the assigned readings and raise questions, counterarguments and connections to other theoretical issues, or comparisons with other places and times. The presenter should prepare 8 to 12 small pieces of paper that contain each a question and to be distributed to the students. Each student should read the question and answer it. |
The main readings will be from:
Sari Hanafi. Against Symbolic liberalism: A plea for dialogical sociology. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, Forthcoming)
Danielle Allen, Justice by Means of Democracy, First Edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2023).
Eva Illouz, The End of Love: A Sociology of Negative Relations (New York, NY, 2019).

| Research Essay Each student will choose a topic related to the Crisis of Liberal Democracy and approved by me in the third week of the semester. The essay should be 2000-3000 for the undergrads and 3000-4000 words for the grads in length. Memos Students will submit a 800-1500-word memo each week, to be submitted in Moodle one day before the session. They present your reaction to your mandatory weekly readings. They are not a summary of the readings but an analytical account of them. You should understand the place of the reading in the theme covered and critically reflect on the thesis behind the readings. You should highlight some quotes from the readings (and bring these quotes to class). For more details about a memo, it involves two components: the reading and you. For the first component you should provide a succinct overview of the reading: its main arguments, key terms, and context of production. It would seem this is not the kind of information that will vary hugely from student to student, but put some legwork and brainwork into it to make it your own piece: what do you need to know to understand the context? How could you explain the key terms to someone unfamiliar with liberal dmocracy? Why do these arguments matter today? For second component, i.e. you, discuss how this reading (or selection of readings) relates to your life, to other readings you personally have encountered, or to questions you have pondered. This component will automatically feel more personal and subjective, but it must relate to the reading. It cannot simply be a statement of your thoughts as if you had never encountered the reading! | ||

私たちは、合理的な議論が不可能な、ポピュリズム、権威主義、、気候変動の緊急事態、社会的不平等の蔓延が目まぐるしく発生する扇動的な時代に生きています。これらは近代後期の現状であり、エリート層の極端な二極化という文脈の中で、さまざまな領域で複雑に絡み合った一連の病理に苦しんでいる状況と言えるでしょう。私は社会科学の反応の多くは、古典的にはリベラルだが政治的には非リベラルであると特徴付けることができると主張します。つまり、私はこれを「象徴的リベラリズム」または「象徴的リベラル・プロジェクト」(SL)と呼んでいます。この提案は、社会正義の概念を萎縮させ、人権の普遍性の概念を膨らませることで正義の定義を歪め、正義の概念の固有部分である善の概念 1 つに着目します。SL の代替案として、私は対話社会学 (DS) の概念を提案します。これは、集団と個人の政治的リベラルなプロジェクトの間の一種のバランスとして、社会的不平等に真剣に反対し、複数の善の概念を許容しながら正義の概念を支持します。このコースは、世界的な自由民主主義の変革の構成要素に関する知識を、関連概念の評価を基にして、学生に提供します。
