In order to adopt phenomenological analysis as a basic theoretical-methodological characteristic of phenomenological sociology as effectively as possible, in the course we analyze biopolitics and identity as the most significant phenomena of contemporary society.

At the end of the course, students will be able to critically understand the latent function of social phenomena, processes, and events and to independently expose social constructions of meaning that are immanently accepted as a natural state of affairs as binding regimes of truth within the existing structure of consciousness of an epoch.

The course will be structured into 4 modules.

• The first module. Introduction to phenomenological sociology. Why else sociology? Phenomenological sociology is a radical revocation of sociology itself.
• Second module. Biopolitics. Conservation of the territory and care for the population. Disciplinary and biopolitical power. Disciplinary society and society of control. Communication and integration. Disposition, bare life, camp.
• The third module. Medicalization of social life. Medicine as a normative system of power. Clinical, social, and structural iatrogenesis. The ideology of health. The Covid-19 pandemic is a form of non-explosive warfare.
• Fourth module. Identity. Theological, political-theological, phenomenological, philosophical, geopolitical, and sociological approaches to identity.
