This endeavor by now has culminated in a formidable scholarship that deserves a regular place in a well-rounded sociological curriculum. The purpose of this course is to acquaint graduate students with a) different theoretical approaches to material agency, spatiality, and embodied practices, such as phenomenology, Actor Network Theory, neo- and eco-Marxism, poststructuralism, and b) with empirical case studies that illuminate the connections among knowledge, technology, consumption, the body, nature, and waste across different scales and c) sort out the differences among such concepts as global assemblages, material civilization, transnational material flows, etc. Students will use these theories and empirical models to formulate their own research projects, which efforts and experiments will serve as the basis of their final papers for this course.
