Detailed Course Content
The course provides students with the interpretative and methodological tools useful for the sociological analysis of the most recent transformations in the relationship between care spaces and individuals. The hospital, but also other places of care, today are spaces in transformation. The profound changes that have taken place in recent years in the social-healthcare field push to find ways of hospitalization and relationships that are different from those of the past, when medicalization revolved around the pathology alone. Care places today require special attention to the spaces for welcoming the citizen, as well as his relational and living needs. Feeling welcomed in spatially friendly structures, in which the privacy of the individual and his socialization needs are protected, as well as being able to enjoy dedicated time, are very much needed today.
