“Emotions and Morality in a neo-Durkheimian Perspective on Social Movements”

Event ended

Dear colleagues, 

The Department of Sociology kindly invites you to the talk by Dr. Kerstin Jacobsson (Professor of Sociology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden) “Emotions and Morality in a neo-Durkheimian Perspective on Social Movements”. Seminar is held within the International Sociology Seminar Series 

Working language: English 

3 Krivokolenny Pereulok

6:15 p.m.

October 19 2017

The talk is based on the book Animal Rights Activism: A Moral-Sociological Perspective on Social Movements (co-authored with Jonas Lindblom), which develops a novel theoretical perspective on social movements. For the first time, Durkheim’s sociology of morals is made productive for social movement theorizing. Based on an original reading of Durkheim and an empirical study of animal rights activists, the authors advance new theoretical approaches to moral reflexivity, emotion work, secular religion and deviance management in social movements. The analysis richly illustrates how classical sociological theory can be applied in innovative ways to better understand contemporary societies.

All are welcome to attend!
