Il corso intende presentare, attraverso lo studio dei classici del pensiero sociale (Rousseau, Marx, la scuola di Francoforte) come i concetti di distribuzione e riconoscimento siano fondamentali per studiare i fenomeni sociali contemporanei e le evoluzioni che hanno subito. Il corso metterà in luce come le lotte degli esclusi e invisibili siano fondamentali per svelare le forme della disuguaglianza e immaginare delle alternative percorribili.
