Theories of Ideology, a lecture by Rastko Močnik (Department of Sociology, University of Ljubljana), at the 7th Subversive Festival
History
The very first beginnings of Sociology studies date in 1927/28 when the course on Sociology was lectured by the philosopher France Veber. In brief, after the sporadic attempts and after the Second World War there were a few courses in Dialectical and Historical materialism, taught by Cene Logar, Vladimir Seliškar and Jože Goričar . On the initiative of sociology study group at the Faculty of Arts and on the initiative of Dr. Boris Ziherl from Institute for Sociology, in the year 1960 the Department of Sociology was formally established. In the academic year 2010/11 the Department therefore celebrates its 50th Anniversary, organising round tables, lectures and re-evaluating the role of sociology in Slovenian academic sphere. The major reorganisation of the Department followed shortly after. The study programme for independent profession in sociology was transfered to the later established Faculty of Social Sciences. The focus of the Department of Sociology at the Faculty of Arts remained mostly in the general field of educating the future pedagogic workers for sociology and social sciences.
In the years 1981/82 the undergraduate study programme of Sociology of Culture was introduced, the postgraduate study programme followed a year after. It resulted from the interest in sociocultural aspects in the field of humanities and social sciences within the framework of marxist sociology and historical materialism. The academic staff, especially the late Dr. Iztok Saksida, encouraged the research in the field of social anthropology and comparative studies in natural sciences (physical anthropology, paleoanthropology, biology, primatology).
The Sociology of Culture programme provided different social science and humanities courses and a body of selected subjects (e.g. Women's Studies and Feminist Theory, Sociology of Cinema, Social Anthropology of Music, Sociology of Drama, Theatre and Ritual, Historical Anthropology, Journalistic Genres). Both Sociology programmes offered at the Department of Sociology allowed interdepartmental connections with other majors offered by the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Arts as well as with Political Science and Journalism from the Faculty of Social Sciences and from the Faculty of Theology in Ljubljana.
Today
Along with the core courses (Introduction to Sociology of Culture,Discursive Analysis, Theory of Ideology, Sociology of Religion, Sociology of Media etc.), the Department broadened the interest and added several new selected courses in Sociology of Culture and Sociology (e.g. Sociology of Globalisation, Sociology of Books and Reading, Popular Music, Sociology of Youth Culture, Introduction to Gay and Lesbian Studies, Lifestyles and Family Practices, Sociology of Intellectual and Intellectuals etc.).
Institutional links within Slovenian have been made with the Faculty of Postgraduate Studies in Humanities at the Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis (ISH), the Peace Institute - Institute for Contemporary Social and Political Studies, in the past the connections were made with the Central European University Budapest, the European Workshop of International Historical Research on Comintern, the University of Bologna, the University of Forli, the European University Institute, Florence, the University of Vienna, the Institut fur Höhere Studien, Vienna, and the University of Strasbourg.
Besides the mentioned international links, the CEEPUS and SOCRATES/ERASMUS student exchange programme is possible at the different European universities in: Belgium (Catholic University in Louvain, University of Antwerpen), Italy (University of Bologna), Netherlands (University of Utrecht), Portugal (University of Lisbon), Slovakia (Comenius University in Bratislava), Spain (University of Salamanca), Turkey (Boğaziçi University, Gaziantep University).
The Department is active in organising guest lectures, recently the international guests included Samir Amin, Anthony McCann and Judith Squires.
The Department has its own library.
The students at the Department of Sociology are active in the sociological students' association Sociopatija (Sociopathy), which organises excursions, lectures and social events.
