課程簡介
本課為「紅土學院」之「素養建構 在地認同」類課程,旨在透過不同類型 案例的分析比較及理論層次的思考,探索「團結經濟」之可持續性的制度機制, 特別是與解決農業、農村和農民問題相關的團結經濟類型。
本課程也是個邀請和探索:邀請有興趣的同學,透過具體的團結經濟案例和 Karl Polanyi 的理論視角,一起實驗一種「解決問題的社會學」的可能性。課程 分為四部分。第一部分透過三篇理論性文章,定位團結經濟;接著透過三種團結 經濟的具體案例(孟德拉貢-合作經濟、葛拉敏銀行-社會企業,協力造屋),討 論以下問題:
1. 這些經濟形式要解決什麼社會問題?就什麼意義而言,這些經濟形式是 市場方案的替代選項(alternative to market solution)?
2. 這些經濟形式在解決問題的同時,造成哪些意圖的和非意圖的社會後果 (無論好壞)?為什麼?
3. 從市場機制與非市場機制的接合(articulation)來看,這些案例可持續 的機制是什麼?或者,(可能)無法持續的原因是什麼?
4. 這些案例的運作,需要哪些專業知識或技能?社會學可以做什麼?
5. Karl Polanyi 的理論,對理解這類經濟形式,有何啟發?
第三部分研讀 Karl Polanyi 的《大轉型》,嘗試從中獲得理解團結經濟的啟發。 第四部分為實作,修課同學分組自選國內外其他與「三農問題」相關團結經濟的 具體案例,以前述問題為架構作案例評析報告(含課堂報告及書面報告)。
選修學生除課堂外,亦須以組為單位進行「紅土體驗」,並繳交體驗心得。

課程目標
本課程預期學生修完這門課後,對於農業問題有基本的具體知識(embodied
knowledge),對「團結經濟」有更務實的理解,並能從更寬廣的理論視角審視 不同「團結經濟類型」的可能性與限制。

修課建議:
1. 對「解決問題的社會學」有興趣者。
2. 對「台灣農業何去何從」有興趣者。
3. 對「社會企業」(或類似經濟型態)有憧憬者。

Course Introduction
This course is a "Literacy Construction Local Identity" course of "Red Earth College". It aims to explore the sustainable institutional mechanism of "Solidarity Economy" through the analysis and comparison of different types of cases and theoretical thinking, especially the type of solidarity economy related to solving problems in agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
This course is also an invitation and exploration: interested students are invited to experiment together with the possibility of a "problem-solving sociology" through specific cases of solidarity economy and the theoretical perspective of Karl Polanyi. The course is divided into four parts. The first part posits the solidarity economy through three theoretical articles; then discusses the following issues through three specific cases of solidarity economy (Mendragon - cooperative economy, Grameen Bank - social enterprise, cooperative house building):
1. What social problems do these economic forms solve? In what sense are these economic forms alternatives to market solutions?
2. What intended and unintended social consequences (good or bad) do these economic forms create while solving problems? Why?
3. From the perspective of the articulation of market mechanisms and non-market mechanisms, what are the sustainable mechanisms for these cases? Or, what are the (possible) reasons why they are unsustainable?
4. What professional knowledge or skills are required to operate these cases? What can sociology do?
5. What inspiration does Karl Polanyi’s theory have for understanding this type of economic form?
The third part studies Karl Polanyi's "The Great Transformation" and tries to gain inspiration for understanding the solidarity economy. The fourth part is implementation. Students taking the course are divided into groups to select other specific cases of solidarity economy related to "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" at home and abroad, and use the above issues as a framework to make case analysis reports (including class reports and written reports).
In addition to the classroom, elective students are also required to conduct "red clay experience" as a group and submit their experience experience.

Course objectives
This course expects students to have basic concrete knowledge about agricultural issues after completing this course (embodied
knowledge), have a more pragmatic understanding of “solidarity economy” and be able to examine the possibilities and limitations of different “solidarity economy types” from a broader theoretical perspective.

Course suggestions:
1. Those who are interested in "problem-solving sociology".
2. Those who are interested in "Where will Taiwan's agriculture go from here?"
3. Those who have a vision for "social enterprises" (or similar economic models).
