**课程名称：** 社会复杂性：入门 **课程概述：** 本课程面向社会科学领域，以一种易于理解的方式介绍了复杂性理论的应用。课程主要聚焦于社会学，但也会涉及心理学、人类学、政治学和经济学中的相关内容。课程旨在介绍各种复杂系统模型，并展示它们如何应用于不同的社会科学领域。这是一门开创性的、具有实验性质的课程，将借鉴多个领域的最新研究，运用复杂性理论构建一个连贯的范式，从而为理解社会科学的核心问题提供全新的视角。 **课程内容：** 课程共分为四个主要部分，每一部分将运用复杂性理论中的一个主要建模框架来解读社会现象。 1. **引言与系统理论：** 首先对社会复杂性领域进行概述，然后进入第一部分，重点介绍系统理论。我们将搭建一个基本的社会系统模型，并利用该模型来理解社会结构和制度。 2. **非线性社会科学：** 接下来，我们将概述非线性社会科学，探讨自组织、反馈循环、混沌理论和自组织临界性等概念。 3. **社会网络分析：** 第三部分重点关注社会网络分析，涵盖这个新兴领域的主要内容，包括社会图谱的基础、聚类、网络结构以及传播过程。 4. **复杂适应系统理论：** 最后，我们将运用复杂适应系统理论的视角，探索适应性景观模型，并讨论适应能力、社会韧性和进化过程。
OverviewThis course is an accessible introduction to the application of complexity theory to the social sciences, the course will be primarily focused upon the domain of sociology, but we will touch upon elements of psychology, anthropology, political science and economics. The aim of the course is to introduce you to the variety of models from complex systems and illustrate how they apply to these different domains. This course is a first of its kind and somewhat experimental in nature, where we will be drawing upon research from many different areas and using complexity theory to contextualize it into a coherent paradigm, giving us a fresh perspective with which to interpret some of the core questions within the social sciences.ContentThe course is broken down into four main sections, in each section we will apply one of the major modelling frameworks from complexity theory to interpreting social phenomena. We will firstly give an overview to this area of social complexity before starting our first section on systems theory as we lay down a basic model of a social system, we will go on to use this model in helping us understand, social structure and institutions.Next we will take an overview to nonlinear social science, as we discuss the process of self-organization, feedback loops, chaos theory and self-organized criticality. The third section to the course is dedicated to social network analysis, we will cover the main topics in this new area as we talk about the basics of social graphs, clustering, network structure and the process of diffusion. Finally we will be looking through the lens of complex adaptive systems theory, exploring the model of a fitness landscape, talking about adaptive capacity, social resilience and the process of evolution.
