Objectives
Students should acquire: 1. A critical sense in relation to the theoretical and analytical tools that claim to grasp the recent transformations of modernity, i.e. the properties of reflexivity and the processes of \"individuation\" / singularisation; 2. The conceptual bases that allow studying the construction of identity in late modernity, operationalizing the concepts of lifestyles and life projects; 3. The ability to identify the macro-structural features that punctuate the \"world of work\" at present; 4. The ability to study professional insertions as social trajectories and their relation to the distribution / valorization of skills; 5. The ability to problematize the criteria present in the construction of social categories, by analyzing the transitions in the life cycle and professional insertions in a specific life stage; 6. The ability to address theoretical and methodological cultural practices associated with moments of life cycles and specific lifestyles.
