Overall aims and purpose

Canolbwynt y modiwl hwn yw dadansoddiad rhai o weithiau damcaniaethol cymdeithasol y cyfnod modern, gan ganolbwyntio ar waith Antonio Gramsci, Yr Ysgol Frankfurt, a Pierre Bourdieu. Bydd y modiwl hwn yn cychwyn drwy gynnig trosolwg o brif ddamcaniaethau o fewn cymdeithaseg, gan gynnwys gwaith y damcaniaethwyr clasurol, sef Marx, Durkheim a Weber. Yna, bydd y modiwl hwn yn astudio datblygiad y traddodiad Marcsaidd gan edrych ar rai o’u prif gysyniadau a’u damcaniaethau pwysicaf y damcaniaethwyr hyn. Ystyrir sut mae theorïau hyn yn berthnasol yn ein cymdeithas gyfoes, gan dalu sylw arbennig i’r drafodaeth ynghylch pŵer, tra-arglwyddiaeth a chyfalaf o fewn cymdeithas gyfoes. Datblygir y sgiliau astudio angenrheidiol i allu crynhoi dadleuon a gwybodaeth ynghylch syniadau'r damcaniaethwyr, a chynnig beirniadaeth o’u gwaith.

Course content

Diben y modiwl hwn yw astudio’r consensws a’r gwrthdaro o fewn cymdeithas, gan gwestiynu’r modd y mae grymoedd cymdeithasol yn dylanwadu ar yr unigolyn. Bydd y modiwl yn codi cwestiynau ynglŷn â sut mae normau a gwerthoedd cymdeithasol yn cael eu cyfreithloni, gan gwestiynu buddiannau pwy sy’n cael ei gynrychioli gan y gwerthoedd hyn. Byddwn felly yn trafod y berthynas rhwng yr unigolyn a chymdeithas, gan gloriannu’r dadleuon rhwng galluedd yr unigolyn a dylanwad strwythurau cymdeithas ar yr unigolyn. Bydd y modiwl yn gorffen drwy ystyried enghreifftiau o synthesis damcaniaethol rhwng y ddau safbwynt.

Bydd y modiwl hwn yn cyflwyno’r myfyrwyr i rai o ddamcaniaethwyr cymdeithasegol y cyfnod modern, gan adeiladau ar ei dealltwriaeth o ddamcaniaethau gymdeithasegol glasurol. Cychwynnir drwy astudio’r modd y datblygodd y traddodiad Marcsaidd gan dalu sylw penodol at gyfraniad Antonio Gramsci. Wrth drafod gwaith Gramsci byddwn yn canolbwyntio ar ei gysyniad o hegemoni, rheolaeth gymdeithasol a chydsyniad.

Yna byddwn yn astudio damcaniaeth gwrthdaro, a chyfraniad meddylwyr yr Ysgol Frankfurt (e.e. Marcuse, Adorno, Hokenhimer, a Habermas). Fel Gramsci, roedd y damcaniaethwyr hyn yn ysgrifennu yn y traddodiad Marcsaidd gyda diddordeb mewn pŵer a rheolaeth gymdeithasol. Astudiwn y modd yr oedd y damcaniaethwyr amrywiol o fewn yr YF yn dehongli’r modd yr oedd y system yn tra-arglwyddi dros unigolion, yn gorchymyn, manipiwleiddio, dallu a thwyllo unigolion i gynnal ac atgynhyrchu strwythur cymdeithas.

Bydd y modiwl yn cloi drwy ystyried cyfraniad Pierre Bourdieu a’i ymgais i gynhyrchu synthesis o alluedd yr unigolyn a dylanwad strwythur cymdeithas. Trafodir cysyniadau Bourdieu o habitus, cyfalaf, a meysydd, gan drafod y modd cudd y mae Bourdieu yn gweld pŵer yn dylanwadu ar ein bywydau beunyddiol. Byddwn hefyd yn ystyried defnydd ffeministiaid o gysyniadau Bourdieu o ran theory ymgorfforiad.
