Invitation to Sociology
How do we understand ourselves as individuals in relation to society? How are our individual life courses and
large-scale processes of social and historical change related to each other? How have our societies come to be
what they are today? And how can we think of our private troubles as public issues? These questions are at the
very heart of sociology as a distinctive way of thinking about and understanding the social worlds that we
inhabit. This module invites students to become familiar with sociological ways of thinking about current issues
and personal experiences (particularly in the southern African context), and to develop the analytical skills that
are necessary in order to ask and answer critical questions about the communities, society, and world that they
live in. The module will include a specific emphasis on academic reading skills.

Thinking sociologically
Drawing from the idea of Sociology as a discipline that focuses on critical thinking, the module will introduce
students to ways of questioning the obvious and the taken-for-granted. In particular, power and inequality will
be problematised, with a focus on how power operates to structure racial, class and gender inequalities across
institutions, ideologies and identities. The module will introduce students to the operations of power as
manifested in the production of institutions, the proliferation of identities and heightened contestations among
ideologies. The module will include a specific emphasis on writing skills.

Module content
Cultural constructions of sex and sexuality are the primary building blocks of social organisation. Anthropological
discussions of sexuality tend to revolve around the various aspects of social organisation, such as the lifecycle,
gendered identities, and personhood. These discussions are informed by the cultural meanings we impute to
differences in biological sex and reproduction, and the ways in which these meanings influence social
organisation, personhood, and power. In this module, we will consider cultural constructions of sex and sexuality
as these inform certain aspects of social organisation such as kinship and marriage. We will attempt to develop
an anthropological perspective on the interplay between sex, culture and society. To this end, we will examine
the physiology of sexuality, and then consider different theoretical perspectives on human sexuality as reflected
in cross-cultural ethnographic case studies.

law that underpins these organisations and their activities.

Urban sociology and social movements
This module considers the relationship between the rural and urban, against the backdrop of the emergence and
development of both capitalism in its various guises and globalisation within the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries in the global North and South. Questions on the nature of social interaction in communities, changing
ways of relating, inequality and livelihoods, collective action, local cultures and modernities are considered. With
migration to the city spurred by the communication revolution, the city has become a source of aspirations and
illusions. A key issue in place-space configurations is the dialectic between citizenship and cosmopolitanism
(aligned to individualism and multiple identities), on the one hand, and the experience of community (aligned to
a collectivity) on the other hand. The debate on who belongs to the city highlights both symbolic and material
issues and a politics around access to rights and resources, and therefore a possibility of mobilisation.
Contemporary themes such as informality, different forms of local participation and consumption are considered.
