Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the development of the concept of integration and to present his creation in the social sciences on the example of the integration of migrants. The course deals systematically with what happens in the last stage of migration, i.e. at the moment of domestication and what processes (integration/exclusion) and phenomena accompany this integration. The concept of integration of migrants was created under a strong influence of assimilation; on its basis it is possible to identify four stages of forming the concept: the first wave of assimilationism, the second wave of assimilationism, segmented integration and transnational and civil integration. There is a noticeable shift from assimilation to the approach that keeps a possibility of integration of migrants in diverse reference frameworks. The complexity of the concept of social integration is rooted in overlapping nationalized and denationalized logics. The methodological nationalism supported by a centralized solidarity with limited mechanisms of inclusion, predetermined by the concept of formal citizenship and cultural grounding of political identity, blends with methodological cosmopolitism of decentralized solidarities based in the concept of participative citizenship and transcultural plurality. Further the course focuses on the social and systemic level of integration (dimensions, indicators, integration policies) and provides information of the outcomes of sociological researches.
Competences in the scope of the course objective. Student will be able to explain the development of the concept of assimilation and integration and define the basic migration phenomena. It will control the basic concepts of integration and be able to apply them to current social phenomena and situations.
