PURPOSE
SOCIAL THEORY
Identify the social theory or theories from the list provided below and explain why.
Identify the social theory from these options: determinism, positivism, rationalism, structuralism, functionalism, Marxism, feminism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, post-colonialism, constructivism. Find short definitions of these theories in Del Casino or in the Oxford Dictionary of Critical Theory. Don’t worry too much about getting the answer right, the most important thing is to start trying to articulate what perspective you think is being taken and why.
A few guiding words on how to read social theory and how to map an argument: unlike empirical social research, we have to read arguments about social theory in detail because some of its components are scattered around in the text according to the argumentation style of each author. But, as in everyday life, when you know what you are looking for you will more easily find it. In order to follow the author’s argument, and to identify the social theory s/he is using to frame it, they usually structure their writings as follows:
Question: Like empirical social research, social theory discussions also aim at answering a question. This question can be explicitly stated in an abstract or introductory section or paragraphs.
Main claim: Authors discussing social theory want to defend the answer to that question. The answer is called argument or main claim. It will most likely be stated it in the first paragraphs of the article.
Supporting ideas: This main claim is supported by many other ideas that justify defending that argument. Very often, each section of the article or piece of writing will explore each one of these supporting ideas and they will be likely stated at the beginning of each section.
Purpose: Authors often tell us why answering the question is important. You will often find this in the introductory or conclusive remarks.
