Objectives of the Course

In this course, we will examine the transformation of modernity in the last quarter of the twentieth century. The fundamental institutions of modernity (capitalism, industrialization, nation-state, war and identity) are undergoing a radical change. Some theorists even defended the end of modernity.

One of the main principles of the course is to examine and reveal the foundations and sociological conditions of modern and postmodern societies.
