Syllabus

The measurement of inequality involves not only the understanding of a wide range of epistemological issues, concerning the primary problem of apprehension of the inequality phenomenon, but also the proper handling of tools and techniques through which we can properly build this window of glimpse and decoding of the social fabric. Against the backdrop of the various epistemic issues related to the problem of inequality, this course aims to provide the student with a theoretical and instrumental understanding of basic techniques of quantitative research and network analysis, focusing on the use of free software and aimed at the empirical study of the inequality phenomenon.

Syllabus

The investment decisions of real estate firms influence the way in which the urban built environment transforms and evolves. Analyzing the functioning of the real estate market and its regulatory environment is therefore relevant to explaining urban land use dynamics. The course aims to address the structure and functioning of the real estate market, the main agents of the real estate market, the policies and instruments of urban land use regulation, and the resulting dynamics of socio-spatial transformation.

This course discusses human rights and citizenship in Latin America from the perspective of urban struggles as insurgent practices against social, economic and spatial inequalities. The epistemological matrix adopted is the dialectic materialism, which allows to identify the decolonial thought as manifestation of the praxis that distinguishes Latin American social reality. For example, the theoretical category of “coloniality of power, of knowledge and being” shows a connection between universalism, capitalism and racism as axis of Latin America social formation, identified through social inequalities and poverty. As counterpoint, there are concrete experiences of urban social movements as practices of citizenship and struggles for rights, which run between the fields of Constitutional Law, Epistemology, Political Theory, Sociology and Urbanism.

The course aims to discuss the political aspects related to inequality both in South America and in Brazil. To this end, it focuses on issues such as political representation, inequality of access to the decision-making power of the state, and political inequality, especially in the context of globalization. It also aims to clarify the relationship between political inequality and social inequality and the expressions these have acquired in contemporary society. Finally, it aims to elucidate the role of public policies in combating and reproducing inequality and violence.

Programme

La communication dans les environnements de médias numériques intensifie l’accès à l’information dans la vie quotidienne. Cependant, si les ressources numériques ont été considérées comme des alliées de la démocratisation de l’information – et c’est effectivement le cas dans de nombreux cas – elles génèrent en revanche des circuits de désinformation, qui influencent les scénarios politiques et peuvent conduire au négationnisme. Le cours vise à discuter des problèmes de fond qui imprègnent cette question, en tenant compte de la constitution des médias et de leurs langages pour l’analyse de sujets tels que les cultures technologiques, les régimes de vérité, la spectacularisation, le statut du discours scientifique, la mémoire et l’oubli, etc.

Programme d’études

Le cours présente une introduction au concept de politique linguistique dans une perspective d’analyse centrée sur la dimension politique de la langue. En dialogue avec d’autres domaines de connaissance, le cours abordera les dynamiques linguistiques liées à l’éducation, à l’immigration, aux droits linguistiques et aux inégalités sociales, ainsi qu’aux régions frontalières du Brésil. Des études de cas seront discutées afin de mettre en évidence la dimension glotopolitique des politiques publiques. La gestion politique des droits linguistiques et du multilinguisme sera également abordée.

Syllabus

This course will focus on dystopian narratives produced outside the United Kingdom and the United States, which have played a hegemonic role in the dystopian tradition. This will give us an opportunity to analyse lesser studied dystopian works and examine how they contribute to the dystopian genre in terms of their form, themes, ideology and political concerns. We will pay special attention to the ways different kinds of inequality are represented in these narratives and to the cultural background with which they establish a dialogue. Our starting point will be Danny Denton’s The Earlie King and the Kid in Yellow, which presents a dystopian Ireland where the marks of a colonial past under the dominion of England is projected into the future. Next we move to Prayaag Akbar’s Leila, which raises questions about gender relations, cultural purity and social inequalities in India. We will also read the novel Kentukis, by Argentinian writer Samantha Schweblin, which revolves around the global impact of radical forms of information technologies on daily life and the risk they represent to the notions of privacy and personal freedom. Finally, we will discuss the social and political aspects of the films New Order (Mexico, 2020), Divino amor (Brasil, 2019) and Medida provisória (Brasil, 2020).
