Knowledge is a result of never-ending processes of circulation. This accessible volume is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary work to explore these processes through the perspective of scholars working outside of Anglo-American paradigms. Through a variety of literature reviews, examples of recent research and in-depth case studies, the chapters demonstrate that the analysis of knowledge circulation requires a series of ontological and epistemic commitments that impact its conceptualisation and methodologies. Bringing diverse viewpoints from across the globe and from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, history, political science, sociology and Science & Technolog...
Although sociology is present as a discipline or as a social practice in most countries in the world, its future as a not-only Western social science has hardly been addressed before. In this book, a team of interdisciplinary scholars have been working together not so much to offer one single response to the question than to raise important issues at stake for the future of sociology. Is it universal? Can it be indigenous? How is it possible – and is it even desirable – to write its history differently so as to know better about its early world diffusion and gradual Westernization? Do we need to expand or change its canon? This collection brings together essays that are all engaged in in...
Beginning with Number 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research underway in specialized areas.
Eurocentrism, Qurʾanic Translation and Decoloniality contributes to the understanding of Eurocentrism in Translation Studies and engages with the concept through the lens of scholarship on Arabic and Qurʾan translation. This book calls for a deeper consideration of Eurocentrism as essential for several debates in the discipline, including its scientific character and future development. It claims that the angle of Arabic and Qurʾan translation is a valuable – and nearly unexploited – area where tensions in translation scholarship can play out in revealing ways. The book also draws connections between Eurocentrism, Qurʾan translation and decolonial thought in order to highlight ‘decoloniality’ as a useful framework for imagining a post-Eurocentric discipline. The book will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students and researchers interested in Translation Studies, particularly within the areas of Arabic, Qurʾanic, Islamic and religious translation.
Este libro aborda la encrucijada de procesos que generaron preocupación disciplinar y un espacio clínico para abordar la locura en el litoral argentino durante la entreguerra (1920-1944). Con ese objetivo, Allevi reconstruye los escenarios materiales y académicos que permitieron problematizar la sinrazón en la ciudad de Rosario. En un contexto del afianzamiento de un campo psiquiátrico nacional e internacional, la investigación que nutre estas páginas estudia cómo se constituyó un espacio de ciencia legítimo para la psiquiatría en una de las ciudades más dinámicas del país a lo largo de dos décadas. De este modo, invitamos a las lectoras y los lectores a recorrer el espectro d...
Esta obra reúne as versões ampliadas de uma série de textos que foram, em sua maioria, apresentados por ocasião do workshop intitulado "Sobre a criação de conhecimento nas ciências sociais em sociedades abertas e fechadas" (On Generating Knowledge in Social Sciences in Closed and Open Societies), realizado na Universidade de Brasília, em cooperação com pesquisadoras/es de diversas outras instituições da América Latina, da Europa e da Índia, em maio de 2018. Busca-se debater diferentes facetas e expressões da circulação de conhecimento, articulando a teoria e a prática intelectual nas ciências humanas e sociais, sendo que algumas das contribuições têm um enfoque mais voltado a debates teóricos, e outras colocam maior peso sobre a investigação prática, sem estabelecer uma divisão estanque entre ambas. O objetivo foi o de desvelar dinâmicas e assimetrias desses processos de produção e circulação, que ocorrem em diferentes contextos.

Con este ensayo, sus autores Guillermo Palombo, Alberto Crinigan y Santiago M. Sinopoli, tratan de demostrar que la grieta política en la Argentina, obedece a que, con la manipulación de los datos históricos, hay quienes usaron y aún emplean el relato, como una manera de seguir librando una batalla, cuyo objetivo es suprimir a los sectores de la sociedad que se opusieron y seguirán negando la instauración, de lo que en su momento se llamó "la patria socialista". Dentro de este marco, los autores intentan narrar hechos que con las características de guerra civil o interna, se dieron en la Argentina entre los años 1959 ( se toma como referencia la aplicación más contundente del Plan...
