只限21世纪的社会学理论课程大纲：兼以文学小说为理解材料

原文链接：

https://orgtheory.wordpress.com/2017/12/05/role-of-art/

这份课程大纲有两个特点：

1.  只挑2000年以后的发表的文本；

2.  以人物为中心，尤其是新人

3. 每一个主题，配合一份文学作品，让学生能用文学故事来理解理论中的演绎

   （And for the honors seminar attached to the class, I’m giving students a short story related to the themes of the week. The students will then write their own short story with a brief reflection on its relationship to the themes of the course.）
