RC36 Alienation Theory and Research (host committee)

Language: English

Session Type: Oral


Alienation has a rich theoretical history in its explanation for the disintegration of freedom and autonomy, particularly in a democratic political system. Today, this investigation is more pressing than ever, with various political societies experiencing growing inequality, the rise of radical, reactionary political parties, and growing social unrest among various forms of psychological dependence on the individual level. This session explores the causes and effects of alienation on contemporary democratic practices and norms via the psychological, political, and social.
