4.1 FALL SEMESTER Justice and Democracy in the Era of Globalization Sophie PAPAEFTHYMIOU The globalization of economic exchanges and the universalization of risk have challenged the classical theories of justice and democracy, meant to apply to small communities, and have caused a paradigm change in the field of political and social theory. Contemporary global issues, like climate change, global risk, poverty and migration, have required transnational and international legal regulation and public policies. In theory, they have given way to new conceptions of justice, democracy, sovereignty, citizenship and human rights, which are assumed to be adequate to the new international political order. Global justice, deliberative democracy, cosmopolitan citizenship, universal human rights, “multicultural rights”, “the rights of the others”, are some of the concepts used by political theorists to describe the new reality. Among the new concepts and constructions, many have proved to be controversial, including the relationship between the concepts of justice and democracy, of particularism and cosmopolitanism, of equality and difference. The scope of the course is to give an overview of classical and modern theories of justice and democracy, with particular focus on their application to contemporary global issues.

4.1 FALL SEMESTER Radical Arab Nationalism : Origins and Perspectives Lahouari ADDI This course deals with the historical framework of the rise of Arab Nationalism in Egypt and in the Middle East in its different versions, moderate and radical. We will shed light on its ideological limits that prevented it from implementing the rule of law in the postcolonial era. The course will address the theoretical issue of the nation to show that this concept belongs to a paradigm built on categories like civic rights, political freedom, secularization... A nation is not only a territory whose geographic borders are protected by the military. It is also the realm of a civil society that separates religion and politics and religion and law. The course will underline that the historical Arab experience shows that the Nation-Building process and the State-Building process are the same. Course outline:

4.1 FALL SEMESTER A Cultural History of Britain (1900-2015) Martin PORTER Beginning in 1900, with Britain at the height of its status as the world’s greatest power, and ending in the present day with the small island power that Great Britain has now come to be, the course will take a chronologically ordered narrative approach to the history of this nation and its people across the course of a long century which saw not only the birth of modern British society - or rather the peculiar British hybrid of ancient and modern - but also the first intimations of the end of that modernity in post-modern Britain.

4.2 SPRING SEMESTER Islamism in Arab Societies Lahouari ADDI This course addresses the issue of Democracy and Islamism from a sociological perspective and not from a theoretical one, starting with the idea that Islamism is basically a demand of political participation aiming at meeting the social expectations pertaining to employment, housing, healthcare, etc. People who vote for the Islamist parties hope that their everyday life will improve if the rulers implement the Koranic idea of justice. They are more sensitive to the social issues than to liberal values as equality of gender or freedom of speech that are perceived as abstract. It is not a vote against democracy; it is a choice of an electoral demand more concerned by the improvement of the social conditions. The strength of the Islamist parties comes from this electoral support that also put forward the motto “Sovereignty belongs to God”. However, we should not take this discourse at face value. This demand has nothing to do with a kind of theocracy. In the contrary, the people who demonstrate under this motto want that the rulers take into account their claims since God is justice and fairness. Somehow, God is the screen that hides the people as goes the saying vox populi, vox dei. Course outline: Islamism as Representation and as Willingness The Cultural Roots of Islamism The Making of Islamist Ideology: Mawdudi and Qutb Towards a Post-Islamism?

4.2 SPRING SEMESTER ‘Soviet Man’ and ‘Soviet Woman’ in Soviet and Post-Soviet Context Andrii PORTNOV The social, political and cultural phenomenon of the Soviet Union could not be properly understood without the anthropological project of the creation of a ‘new (Soviet) man’. What ‘Soviet man’ was supposed to be and how ‘social engineering’ of the state changed throughout Soviet history? How the experiences of the civil war 1918–1921, collectivization of agriculture and industrialization, the Second World War and the ‘Cold war’ era influenced the everyday life, ideology of the state, and images of the Soviet self and the West? How multinational structure of the Soviet Union and the complexity of ‘center-periphery’ relationships could be conceptualized? Where to find and how to capture the correlations and tensions between the Soviet and the Russian, the Soviet and the Ukrainian, the Soviet and Georgian in the context of changing nationality politics of the USSR? When the pejorative notion of ‘homo soveticus’ (and later ‘sovok’) emerged and how writers and philosophers (from Aleksandr Zinoviev to Svetlana Aleksievich) attempted to conceptualize the ‘Soviet man’? Close reading of the historical documents, literary works and works of art (from El Lisicki to Illia Kabakov) and discussing of the Soviet movie pictures are planned as an essential part of the course. The afterlife of the ‘Soviet man’ in Russian, Ukrainian and other post-Soviet cultures will be discussed at the concluding sessions.

4.2 SPRING SEMESTER The Politics of Humour in Contemporary Europe Alejandro ROMERO Recent tragic events such as the Charlie Hebdo attacks or the Danish cartoon crisis have vastly demonstrated the political relevance of humour in multicultural societies, and particularly in European societies. Since humour tends to be based on implicit cultural consensuses in order to be properly decodified, it can also provide the basis for cultural conflict. It is, therefore, a tool for both ideological reproduction and ideological dispute. This course would approach political humour from a sociological point of view, introducing the main theoretical approaches and conceptions, and contextualizing contemporary European political humour within the wider framework of its history. It would then examine specific types of humour in specific sociopolitical contexts, and finally it would try to engage students in a sociological analysis and reassessment of current cases. As an additional exercise in practical engagement with the subject matter, the last session would be a workshop on the creation of political cartoons.
