House, James S. "The Culminating Crisis of American Sociology and Its Role in Social Science and Public Policy: An Autobiographical, Multimethod, Reflexive Perspective." Annual Review of Sociology 45, no. 1 (July 30, 2019): 1–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.1146/annurev-soc-073117-041052.
Full textAbstract:
For over 50 years I have been, and remain, an interdisciplinary social scientist seeking to develop and apply social science to improve the well-being of human individuals and social life. Sociology has been my disciplinary home for 48 of these years. As a researcher/scholar, teacher, administrator, and member of review panels in both sociology and interdisciplinary organizations that include and/or intersect with sociology, I have sought to improve the quality and quantity of sociolog ists and sociolog y. This article offers my assessment as a participant observer of what (largely American) sociology has been over the course of my lifetime, which is virtually coterminous with the history of modern (post–World War II) sociology, and what it might become. I supplement my participant observations with those of others with similarly broad perspectives, and with broader literature and quantitative indicators on the state of sociology, social science, and society over this period. I entered sociology and social science at a time (the 1960s and early 1970s) when they were arguably their most dynamic and impactful, both within themselves and also with respect to intersections with other disciplines and the larger society. Whereas the third quarter of the twentieth century was a golden age of growth and development for sociology and the social sciences, the last quarter of that century saw sociology and much of social science—excepting economics and, to some extent, psychology—decline in size, coherence, and extradisciplinary connections and impact, not returning until the beginning of the twenty-first century, if at all, to levels reached in the early 1970s. Over this latter period, I and numerous other observers have bemoaned sociology's lack of intellectual unity (i.e., coherence and cohesion), along with attendant dissension and problems within the discipline and in its relation to the other social sciences and public policy. The twenty-first century has seen much of the discipline, and its American Sociological Association (ASA), turn toward public and critical sociology, yet this shift has come with no clear indicators of improvement of the state of the discipline and some suggestions of further decline. The reasons for and implications of all of this are complex, reflecting changes within the discipline and in its academic, scientific, and societal environments. This article can only offer initial thoughts and directions for future discussion, research, and action. I do, however, believe that sociology's problems are serious, arguably a crisis, and have been going on for almost a half-century, at the outset of which the future looked much brighter. It is unclear whether the discipline as now constituted can effectively confront, much less resolve, these problems. Sociolog ists continue to do excellent work, arguably in spite of rather than because of their location within the current discipline of sociolog y. They might realize the brighter future that appeared in the offing as of the early 1970s for sociology and its impact on other disciplines and society if they assumed new organizational and/or disciplinary forms, as has been increasingly occurring in other social sciences, the natural sciences, and even the humanities. Society needs more and better sociology. The question is how can we deliver it.

Full textAbstract:
The ability to make forecasts about events is a goal favored by the so-called exact sciences. In sociology and other social sciences, the forecast, although often sought after, is not likely to be realized unconditionally. This article seeks to problematize and discuss the connection between sociology and forecast. The object of study of sociology has particular features that distinguish it from other scientific fields, namely facts and social situations, which deal with trends; the systems of belief of social scientists and policymakers that can influence the attempt to anticipate the future; the dissemination of information and knowledge produced by sociology and other social sciences, which have the potential to change reality and, consequently, to call into question their capacity for the social forecast. These principles pose challenges to sociology’s heuristic potentials, making the reflection on these challenges indispensable in the scientific approach to social processes.

Introduction. The dynamics of Russian sociology research are analyzed for the period of 1993—2020. Methods. The sources of information for the study were three databases on the Web of Science platform: SSCI, SCI-E, and A&HCI. The main method of research was bibliometric analysis. Results and Discussion. The percentage of publications in sociology among the social sciences in the world as a whole has gradually declined over the 28-year period: from 4.7 % in 1993 to 2.3 % in 2020. The decline in the same indicator for Russian publications began only in 2008. It should be noted that this indicator is significantly higher than that for the world as a whole: the average percentage of publications in sociology for the entire period for the world was 3.2 %, for Russia — 16.4 %. The percentage of the world's Open Access publications in sociology is lower than that for the social sciences as a whole, but the growth rate is very high: 1.7 % in 1993 and 34.1 % in 2020. In the case of Russian sociology publications, the Open Access system has only become relatively active in 2013. In 2020, the total percentage of such publications was 7.9 %. Two approaches were used to define the thematic range of sociology research and the level of sociology's connection to other scientific fields. One is based on identifying publications that are common to two of the scientific fields under study, the other involves on identifying publications that were simultaneously cited in different scientific fields. Application of these approaches demonstrated that the second approach, as compared with the first, allowed to reveal much more extensive thematic connections of sociology with other scientific directions. At the same time, the application of rank correlation methods showed that the results obtained using these two different approaches are characterized by a sufficient degree of consistency. Conclusion. The data obtained on the percentage of publications in sociology in national and world science can be used by various state and public structures in the development of scientific policy in the field of social sciences. Data on sociology's connections with other disciplines and their quantitative characteristics can serve as background material for subsequent qualitative (substantive) analysis of these connections.

English This article explores selected significant instances of sociology's contributions and connections to economics. These contributions are framed and analyzed within a historical and interdisciplinary setting of the originally common or convergent roots (Enlightenment philosophical rationalism and liberalism) and early co-developments, and yet the subsequently (especially since the 1930s) divergent trajectories and destinations of sociology and economics. These contributions are divided into two general categories: theoretical-substantive and methodological-epistemological. Sociological analyses of market phenomena, societal development and institutions are adduced as examples of sociology's theoretical contribution to economics. Ideal-types, Verstehen, and sociology of knowledge exemplify its methodological contributions and connections to economics. The article aims to help bridge a gap in the current literature in which such contributions and connections of sociology to economics are rarely recognized and considered in favor of those in the opposite (“rational-choice”) direction. French L'article explore certains apports importants de la sociologie à l'économie et les interrelations entre les deux disciplines. Ces apports sont analysés dans une perspective historique et interdisciplinaire, des racines originellement communes ou convergentes des deux disciplines (le rationalisme philosophique des Lumières et le libéralisme) et de leur développement initial commun à leurs trajectoires et destinations par la suite - en particulier depuis les années trente - divergentes. Ces apports se répartissent en deux grandes catégories: théoriques-formels et méthodologiques-épistémologiques. Les analyses sociologiques des phénomènes de marché, du développement de la société et des institutions sont donnés en exemples de contributions théoriques de la sociologie à l'économie. Les types-idéaux, Verstehen, et la sociologie de la connaissance témoignent de son apport méthodologique à l'économie et de ses liens avec celle-ci. L'article a pour ambition de combler un vide dans la littérature qui n'atteste que rarement l'existence de tels apports de la sociologie à l'économie, en privilégiant plutôt à l'inverse les apports de l'économie à la sociologie ("choix rationnel").

Denne artikel skitserer Kierkegaards indflydelse på sociologien i det 20. århundrede. Med udgangspunkt i den ungarske sociolog Arpad Szakolczais metodiske begreb om sociologiens ”baggrundsfigurer”, argumenteres det, at Kierkegaard ofte har udøvet en ”skjult”, men afgørende indflydelse på en lang række tænkere inden for den klassiske sociologi, såsom Simmel, Mannheim, Weber, Adorno og Frankfurterskolen. I forlængelse heraf argumenteres det, at Foucaults sene forfatterskab udviklede sig i en intim dialog med Kierkegaards skrifter. Derfor bør Kierkegaard også anerkendes som en nøglefigur for den kritiske teori. Artiklen har som overordnet mål at klargøre Kierkegaards relevans for den sociologiske teoridannelse og den nutidige samfundsforståelse.
ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Bjørn Thomassen: Stages on Sociology’s Way: Søren Kierkegaard and the Social Sciences
The aim of this article is to ascertain Kierkegaard’s relevance for sociological theory formation as well as diagnostic understandings of contemporary society. The article surveys Kierkegaard’s influence on sociology in the 20th century. Drawing on the Hungarian sociologist Arpad Szakolczai’s methodological concept of ”background figures”, it argues that Kierkegaard has often exercised a ”hidden” but decisive influence on a series of thinkers in classical sociology, including Simmel, Mannheim, Weber, Adorno and the Frankfurt school. The article also argues that Foucault’s late authorship developed in an intimate dialogue with Kierkegaard’s writings. For these reasons, Kierkegaard must also be recognized as a key figure for critical theory.
Keywords: Kierkegaard, Mannheim, Simmel, Weber, Foucault, critique.

This reprint presents a brief history and overview of the Commission on the Accreditation of Programs in Applied and Clinical Sociology (CAPACS), specifically in the context of global higher education accreditation; the increasing demand to accredit disciplinary and professional programs in the social and behavioral sciences as a process of external quality review; and the oversight of higher education accreditation commissions. Particular attention focuses on the creation of CAPACS in 1995 (originally known as the Commission on Applied and Clinical Sociology or CACS), as a joint initiative of the Society for Applied Sociology (SAS) and the Sociological Practice Association (SPA), which merged in 2006, to form the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS); CAPACS accreditation standards; and the benefits of CAPACS Program accreditation in the discipline of Sociology and the profession of sociological practice.

Full textAbstract:
I äktenskapssammanhang brukar jämna årsfiranden kläs i någon form av materialistisk symbolik, ju högre siffra desto ädlare och mer statusfylld materia. Siffran 60 förknippas vanligtvis med diamanter, som är en symbol för det okrossbara och det exceptionella tålamodet. Oavsett om det handlar om äktenskap eller om tidskrifter är det ingen självklarhet att uppnå 60 år, och detta är därför något att uppmärksamma och fira. När nu ger ut sin 60:e årgång vill vi rikta tacksamma och stolta tankar mot alla de sociologer som under åren haft ansvaret att verka för svensk sociologi och upprätthålla en nationell sociologisk tidskrift. Periodvis har det ekonomiska läget varit svårt för tidskriften, ibland har det varit svårt att rekrytera redaktionsmedlemmar såväl som granskare, och inte sällan har det saknats gott manusunderlag. Vissa av problemen kvarstår – redaktionen behöver fortfarande flera inskickade bidrag – men liksom våra företrädare kämpar vi på för att vi anser att tidskriften är en viktig fackla för svensk sociologi. I samband med tidskriftens femtioårsjubileum 2013 återpublicerades tre artiklar från tidigare årgångar som har haft betydelse för svensk sociologi- och kunskapsutveckling, skrivna av Hans L Zetterberg, Walter Korpi och Rita Liljeström. Under 2014 blickade tidskriften återigen bakåt för att kunna reflektera över sociologins tillstånd i Sverige. Den gången fick en skara sociologiprofessorer skriva om sin akademiska resa och gärning. I detta jubileumsnummer vill vi rikta blicken mot samtiden och framtiden, som en intressant fortsättning på tidigare jubileumsnummer, med reflektioner över ämnets historia och utveckling. Bland annat har vi bjudit in juniora sociologer att diskutera hur sociologin, i form av forskning, undervisning och samhällsengagemang, kan bidra till förståelsen av vår samtid. Under ledning av Lisa Ferm genomfördes en gruppintervju med Mattis Karlsson, Johanna Köpsén, Isa Norvell Gustavsson, Josefin Persdotter, Jon Sunnerfjell och Emanuel Wittberg. Det blev ett engagerat samtal om sociologins potential att hjälpa människor att tolka och förstå sin omvärld, till exempel genom att låta sociologiska perspektiv genomsyra undervisningen redan i skolans tidiga år. Vidare diskuteras sociologins väsen, identiteten som sociolog och ämnets utmaningar. Sammantaget präglas samtalet av en tro på och passion för sociologiämnets värde, både vad gäller dess bredd och dess djup. Därutöver har flera hörsammat utlysningen för numret och bidragit skriftligt med personliga reflektioner om sociologiämnets roll i ett vidare sammanhang och i anslutning till antingen forskning, utbildning eller samhällsdebatt. Bidragen har genomgått en redaktionell granskning med syftet att helheten ska spegla en mångfacetterad och samtida sociologi. Josef Ginnerskov skriver om hur sociologi lärs ut och därigenom vad sociologi är. Han reflekterar kring sociologins institutionalisering och hur ämnets självbild utvecklats genom åren. Sociologin har ofta blivit krisförklarad. Likväl fortsätter ämnet att läras ut och beforskas. Ginnerskov drar paralleller mellan hur sociologiämnet utvecklats och hur det åskådliggjorts för andra genom undervisning. På detta sätt knyts ämnesdidaktik samman med ämnesidentitet, vilket han diskuterar med hjälp av begreppet sociologididaktik. Anna Engstam skriver ett upprop för en ”öppen sociologi” – en sociologi driven av det lilla men ack så viktiga prefixet ”för”. Hon diskuterar betydelsen av förmågan till för-reflexivitet och förvetenskapliga impulser som ett grundelement i det sociologiska tänkandet och görandet. Texten uppmuntrar läsaren att för stunden våga sjunka ner under ytan av fastslagna metodologiska standarder och teoretiska modeller och förnimma det kreativa teoretiserandet. I samma anda skriver Colm Flaherty om en ”nyfiken sociologi”. Mot bakgrund av den personliga erfarenheten att som student upptäcka sociologins tjusning diskuterar han den sociologiska visionen att professionellt och nyfiket utforska samhället och samtidens olika sociala problem. Framförallt lägger han stor vikt vid det sociologiska görandet, då den kan väcka nyfikenhet och sporra till reflexivet hos andra människor och därigenom även bidra till att påverka samhället. Patrik Aspers skriver om den humboldtska andan att förena forskning och undervisning och om varför det tycks vara så svårt att berika de båda elementen genom korsbefruktning. Utifrån egna erfarenheter, från Sverige och utomlands, skriver han om strukturella och kulturella svårigheter att förverkliga det humboldtska idealet, men också̊ om de visioner och goda ambitioner som behövs för att skapa ett livskraftigt ämne. Den uppmärksamme läsaren tänker: Patrik Aspers är väl inte en junior sociolog! Nej det är han givetvis inte. Aspers är professor och har bjudits in till detta nummer som representant för tidskriftens redaktionsråd att reflektera kring temat för numret. Och han är inte den ende seniora sociologen i sammanhanget. Till vår stora glädje kan vi också presentera två intervjuer med internationellt erkända sociologer: professor Eva Illouz och professor Hartmut Rosa. Eva Illouz har under många år utforskat känslornas strukturella betydelse i samhället. I flera böcker har hon problematiserat teman som kärlek och relationer i vår samtida konsumtionskultur. Illouz är aktuell med en ny bok om populismens känsloliv, som kom ut på engelska i somras (och som kommer i svensk översättning nästa år). Därmed tar hon sig an en helt annan typ av känslor än tidigare, närmare bestämt rädsla, avsky och förbittring. I denna intervju fick Poul Poder och Marcus Persson en exklusiv möjlighet att samtala med Illouz om nya boken och hennes tankar om den populistiska samtidens känslor som frodas i såväl politiska rum som i sociala medier. Därmed kretsar samtalet kring hur samtidens stora frågor och känslor hänger samman, och hur vi bör känna, och tänka, för att odla det goda demokratiska samhället. Hartmut Rosa har etablerat sig som en av samtidens mest uppmärksammade sociologer genom sina böcker om social acceleration och resonans. Hans senaste bok är en sociologisk analys av heavy metal. I samband med en föreläsning vid Göteborgs universitet i mars 2023 fick Carl Cassegård, Karl Malmqvist och Christian Ståhl tillfälle att genomföra en intervju som kom att röra sig kring ämnen som sociologin och dess framtid, kritisk teori, klimatförändringar samt möjligheten till en resonant demokrati. Utifrån sitt begrepp resonans resonerar han kring vikten av ett lyssnande och tillitsfullt samhälle med människor som känner att de besitter en politisk egenförmåga för att undkomma populism och främlingsfientlighet. Det finns ett hundratal sociologiska tidskrifter på engelska men bara en på svenska. I ”förbundet har ordet” skriver Åsa Lundqvist, Åsa Wettergren och Ylva Wallinder om utmaningarna, men också̊ om fördelarna, med en svensk sociologisk tidskrift i en era av internationalisering. Att skriva på svenska för en svensk publik kan vara kreativt och lustfyllt – intellektuellt och språkligt – och dessutom gynna spridningen av forskning både i undervisning och i samhällsdebatt. Numret innehåller också recensioner av nya böcker och avhandlingar: Miguel A. Martínez recension av Elton Chans avhandling; Johan Alfonssons recension av Kohei Saitos bok Marx in the Anthropocene; samt Jonas Bååths recension av Michael Carolans The Sociology of Food and Agriculture. Sammantaget bjuder vi på en mix av reflekterande texter med ambitionen att sporra till tankar och fortsatta diskussioner om sociologins roll i samhället och dess förmåga att ta sig an samtidens utmaningar. Trevlig läsning! Marcus Persson och Christian Ståhl Redaktörer för Sociologisk Forskning

This article expands on my presidential address to further bolster the case that sociology has, from its inception, been engaged in social justice. I argue that a critical review of our discipline and our Association’s vaunted empiricist tradition of objectivity, in which sociologists are detached from their research, was accomplished by a false history and sociology of sociology that ignored, isolated, and marginalized some of the founders. In the past half-century, scholar-activists, working-class sociologists, sociologists of color, women sociologists, indigenous sociologists, and LGBTQ sociologists have similarly been marginalized and discouraged from pursuing social justice issues and applied research within our discipline. Being ignored by academic sociology departments has led them to create or join homes in interdisciplinary programs and other associations that embrace applied and scholar-activist scholarship. I offer thoughts about practices that the discipline and Association should use to reclaim sociology’s social justice tradition.

Abstract This is an interview with Stephen Mennell and a set of texts related to Norbert Elias’s figurational sociology that make up the current volume of Sociologia & Antropologia. Mennell provides readers with a review of figurational sociology, as well as its reception and diffusion. More specifically, he reflects upon Elias’s legacies for sociology and his movement away from philosophy; the publication of the collected works of Norbert Elias; authors who influenced Elias; the importance of the sociology of knowledge and the sciences in the body of Elias’s work; the understanding of the concepts of civilising and decivilising processes, and functional democratisation and de-democratisation; resemblances and differentiations between Elias and Bourdieu; concluding with some reflections on the book The American Civilizing Process, published by Mennell in 2007, and on the use of figurational sociology for the study of current political issues.

The theme of the 2008 meeting of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology was “Engaging Sociology: Applied Sociology's Past, Present, and Promise.” The theme suggests that applied sociology has a past that is different from the parent discipline of sociology, and given how the history of sociology has come to be taught and remembered, that is an understandable suggestion. The argument of this paper, however, is that the discipline of sociology itself—as it is actually practiced today—originated mainly in applied work, in the work of nineteenth century social reformers whose contributions to the field have been largely forgotten, people such as Francis Galton, Adolphe Quetelet, and Charles Booth. These, I argue, are the Founding Fathers of the discipline as I have practiced it for the past thirty-five years.

Escola e família constituem duas instituições sociais centrais das nossas sociedades. A família, de algum modo, sempre o foi. A escola, porém, constitui ainda hoje uma miragem para muitos (incluindo crianças), quando pensada à escala planetária. Famílias e escolas têm vindo, assim, a ser objecto de crescente atenção por parte das ciências sociais, dando, desde há cerca de um século, origem a ramos especializados (história e sociologia da família, história e sociologia da educação, por exemplo). A interface escola-família demorou mais algum tempo a tornar-se objecto de estudo, mas as últimas décadas têm trazido a lume excelentes contributos para a sua análise, sobretudo por parte das ciências da educação, em particular por mão da sociologia.Palavras-chave: escola e família, sociologia da família, sociologia da educaçãoAbstractAssociations of Parents, Interculturality and Sociological division: Some questionsSchool and family represent two central social institutions in our societies. Family, to a certain extent, has always had this role. School, on the other hand, is still today a mirage for many (including children), when the planetary scale is considered. Thus, for almost a century, families and schools have received more attention from social sciences, giving origin to specialized subjects, such as family history and sociology, the history and sociology of education. The school-family interface took longer to become a subject of study, although excellent contributions which have analysed it have been studied over the last decades, especially in education science, and particularly sociology.

Full textAbstract:
The article argues for a new agenda in qualitative research and sociology of knowledge. It starts with the assumption that meaning-making activities which lie at the heart of sociology’s interpretative paradigm today are widely embedded in expert proceedings and organized or institutionalized work on symbolic ordering. This holds true for the sciences or other specialized discourse realms (like religion), but it also counts for public discourses/public arenas. While interpretative traditions in sociology have addressed issues of discourse research, they did not succeed in establishing a proper sociological approach to discourse. Therefore, the article proposes a sociology of knowledge approach to discourse (SKAD), located in the social constructivist tradition of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Such an approach is able to account for discourses as processes of symbolic ordering and to take up questions of discourse research raised by French philosopher Michel Foucault. Foucault indeed insisted on discourses as “truth games” and activities which set up knowledge claims. But, this interest in politics of knowledge has not so far been taken up in today’s arenas of discourse research. Therefore, SKAD proposes concepts and procedures for a new agenda of sociology of knowledge, deeply committed to qualitative and interpretative research traditions in sociology.

Este artigo insere-se como uma reação direta ao chamado For Public Sociology (2005), do sociólogo Michael Burawoy. Discute as implicações daquele texto-manifesto em termos de uma prática de pesquisa que incorpora o componente dialógico da proposta e procura mostrar as suas limitações quando faz concessões quer à sociologia profissional, quer a policy sociology. Tais limitações são postas à luz tendo por base alguns exemplos extraídos de trabalho de campo próprio, em que o elemento reflexivo da pesquisa impõe uma problematização em termos de relações de poder entrevistador-entrevistado. Recorre-se à abordagem tourainiana da sociologia da ação e da metodologia da intervenção sociológica para mostrar que a tradição da disciplina já enfrentou o mesmo gênero de questões anteriormente. Por fim, o artigo conclui pela pertinência da "sociologia pública" desde que levando em conta as incompatibilidades metodológicas com os outros "tipos" de sociologia caracterizados pelo autor no texto mencionado.

Recent studies have been endeavoring to overcome challenges to ensure reliable measurement results in Social Sciences and Humanities facing the complex characteristics of this scientific field. However, the literature indicates that the founding designers of sociology as an academic discipline expressed concerns regarding social measurements more than a century ago. Based on a literature review, the present work investigates possible metrological aspects already addressed in the early days of Social Science, focusing on the methodological conceptions of two of sociology’s early canons – notably Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. The present study reveals that the approaches contemporaneously developed by the two Social Sciences co-founders present diverse but fundamentally complementary configurations, allowing a wide range of social phenomena to be analyzable. Although employing their terminologies, both social scientists incorporated fundamental metrological concepts in their procedures’ parameters, seeking to establish a single reference, using statistical analysis or determining measurement standards that resemble what is known today as reference material. The concern with applying metrological concepts since the early days of creating sociology as a science reinforces the need to invest extensive efforts to provide uniformity of measurements in this remarkably relevant field of application of Measurement Science.

Full textAbstract:
This article is about the future of sociology, as transformations in the digital and biological sciences lay claim to the discipline’s jurisdictional hold over ‘the social’. Rather than analyse the specifics of these transformations, however, the focus of the article is on how a narrative of methodological crisis is sustained in sociology, and on how such a narrative conjures very particular disciplinary futures. Through a close reading of key texts, the article makes two claims: (1) that a surprisingly conventional urge towards disciplinary reproduction often animates accounts of sociology’s crisis; (2) that, even more surprisingly, these same accounts are often haunted by a hidden metaphorical architecture centred on biology, vitality, vigour and life. The central gambit of the article is that, perhaps in spite of itself, this subterranean image of life actually hints at less reproductively conventional ways of understanding – and intervening in – sociology’s methodological ‘crisis’. Drawing, empirically, on the author’s recent work on urban stress and, theoretically, on Stefan Helmreich’s (2011, 2016) account of ‘limit biologies’, the articles ends with a call for a ‘limit sociology’ – a form of attention that could, similarly, expand rather than contract the present moment of transformation. At the heart of the article is a hope that thinking with such a limit may help sociologists to imagine a less deadening future than that on offer from a canonised discipline cathected by endless crisis-talk.

Abstract This article examines the relationship between sociologists and the Communist Party headquarters in 1960 Czechoslovakia. It is based on the archives of the coordinating body of Czechoslovak sociology, the Scientific Board of Philosophy and Sociology at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. First, the article depicts the synergy between sociology and the powers: the research commissioned by the supreme Party bodies or the Party sponsorship of sociology’s institutionalization. However, instances of lacking material support to the discipline are noted as well. Second, the conflicts between social scientists and the Party headquarters are discussed: namely, the layoff of the philosopher Ivan Sviták in 1964 and the following interventions into the Institute of Philosophy. Finally, the article maps the demands for autonomy as formulated by the scholars in 1968. In concluding, it points to the fact that despite requesting independence from the Communist headquarters, the Marxist elite in the social sciences never abandoned their own claim to hegemony. They resisted both the challenge of non-Marxist scholars in 1968, and the spontaneous claims and complaints that might come from the society at large. In that respect, the sociology of the 1960s seems a perfect child of the Czechoslovak reformist movement.

This paper is a simple account of my teaching experience1, the aim of which is to answer the question: “How can we successfully teach interactionism, labeling theory, grounded theory and other sociological bases related to qualitative methods with the active participation of students?”. Through the examples of sociologists working in the Chicago Tradition, French sociologists working with Pierre Bourdieu, and other examples from American sociology, I show that sociological work is group activity. It is argued in this paper, that to make sociological thinking understandable to students teachers may do well to contextualize key theorists in their narrative/biographical context. The students learn, that sociologists are not magicians or genius individuals who produce attractive theories. Rather, they work in collaboration with other humans to generate knowledge. Moreoever, I demonstrate that sociologists’ contributions are often strongly related to and influenced by their broader life context.

Modern social sciences, including sociology, believe that religion is outside the world of science. The growth of the sciences is characterized by their secular perspectives. On the other side, the idea of islamization of social sciences is trapped in the dichotomy between secular social sciences and Islamic social sciences. In this article, the writer discuss an alternative paradigm of the integration between social science (Sociology) and religion. Based on the idea of Prophetic Social Science proposed by Kuntowijoyo, the writer states the importance of an alternative paradigm to develop sociology, called Prophetic Sociology. Prophetic Sociology is constructed based on three fundamental and integral pillars: humanization, liberation and transcendence.

AbstractThis paper explores potential new directions for a sociology linked more to Asian social theory and to new forms of knowledge emerging from ecology and the new social movements than to its older foundations in Western philosophy and conceptions of society. It suggests that there is a route beyond the trajectory of modernist and postmodernist social thinking and it calls into question the anthropocentric, Cartesian and dualistic assumptions of most conventional sociology. It does so by exploring the possible relationships between sociology and the existential issues thrown up by Asian philosophical and religious traditions, and in particular Buddhism, and the in many ways parallel arguments of Deep Ecology. In doing so it calls into question the adequacy of current sociology as a vehicle for addressing fundamental existential questions and in particular the issues of social suffering, the emerging ecological crisis and the alternative conceptions of society generated by many of the new social movements, and suggests ways in which this inadequacy might potentially be resolved.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of social science with computer science and engineering fields has produced a new area of study: computational social science. This field applies computational methods to novel sources of digital data such as social media, administrative records, and historical archives to develop theories of human behavior. We review the evolution of this field within sociology via bibliometric analysis and in-depth analysis of the following subfields where this new work is appearing most rapidly: ( a) social network analysis and group formation; ( b) collective behavior and political sociology; ( c) the sociology of knowledge; ( d) cultural sociology, social psychology, and emotions; ( e) the production of culture; ( f) economic sociology and organizations; and ( g) demography and population studies. Our review reveals that sociologists are not only at the center of cutting-edge research that addresses longstanding questions about human behavior but also developing new lines of inquiry about digital spaces as well. We conclude by discussing challenging new obstacles in the field, calling for increased attention to sociological theory, and identifying new areas where computational social science might be further integrated into mainstream sociology.

Full textAbstract:
Much discussion surrounding Burawoy’s (2004) argument for public sociology has focused on concerns about the model’s normative and political implications while failing to empirically analyze current practices of public academic work. The debate thus risks devolving into competing rhetorical claims about what public sociology should be. We offer a preliminary comparative analysis of one type of public academic work — the writing of books — by sociologists, political scientists, and economists in Canada. In the hope of encouraging more empirical research on the current status of public academic work in Canada, books are put into one of six categories determined on the basis of 1) the publisher’s characteristics; 2) the book’s intended audience; and 3) the book’s intended intellectual/political purpose. We find that sociology lags behind political science in producing books intended for a public audience; however, other evidence suggests Canadian sociologists are attempting to open a public dialogue in a more “organic” way through small presses. Questions are raised about the status and rewards structure of professional sociology in Canada and how it influences public academic work.
Les discussions à propos des arguments de Burawoy sur la sociologie publique se concentrent principalement autour des implications normative et politique du modèle. Mais ces discussions omettent de tester empiriquement les travaux académiques publics contemporains. Il existe donc un risque que le débat s’égare en discussions rhétoriques autour de ce que la sociologie publique devrait être. Nous proposons une analyse préliminaire d’un type de travail académique public, soit la production de livres par des sociologues, politologues et économistes au Canada. Dans l’espoir d’inciter les recherches empiriques sur le statut actuel des travaux académiques publics au Canada, nous avons classé les ouvrages en six catégories sur les bases suivantes 1) les caractéristiques institutionnelles de l’éditeur, 2) le public visé par les livres, 3) l’usage intellectuel et politique attendu pour le livre. Les résultats de nos recherches montrent que la sociologie accuse un retard face à la science politique quant à la production de livres commerciaux grand public. Cependant, d’autres preuves suggèrent que les sociologues canadiens tentent d’ouvrir un dialogue public d’une manière plus « organique » au travers de la publication chez de petits éditeurs. Nous nous posons des questions quant au statut et à la structure de valorisation professionnelle de la sociologie au Canada et à leur influence sur les travaux académiques publics.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the relations of the interwar sociologists in Brno with their American colleagues and international sociology in general. It describes the international contacts of Inocenc Arnošt Bláha and Antonín Obrdlík in the 1930s with a special focus on the professional and personal liaison between these two and American sociologist Earle Edward Eubank. These contacts are subsequently located within an imperfect, but genuine homology that existed between Czech sociology on the one hand and American and international sociology on the other. Previous research has shown that inside the international sociology of the 1930s, which centred around the Institut International de Sociologie (IIS), the eclectic French sociologists who controlled the IIS allied with American detractors of scientism, whereas their principal opponents, the Durkheimians, were close to the sociologists at the University of Chicago. In terms of their international networks and their substantive positions, Bláha’s Brno group was part of the anti-scientist alliance, whereas the sociologists in Prague displayed an affinity for the Chicago School in particular. To substantiate this claim, the paper shows that the American networks of Obrdlík and Otakar Machotka (Prague), both Rockefeller fellows and later exiles in the US, were highly consistent with the observed divisions in American and international sociology.

Full textAbstract:
Though the COVID-19 epidemic is a social disaster as much as a medical one, and though some sociological ideas circulate in public discussions, disciplinary sociology has had little influence. Internal discussions have mostly been conventional, and familiar sociological theory and methodology seem inadequate to this situation. Taking the viewpoint of the virus helps to shift perspective on a historical moment where a deadly threat is enabled by megacities, mass air travel, callous and corrupt regimes, and the undermining of public services. In this conjuncture sociology, with other social sciences, is under threat. But we can contribute to responses that mobilize community resources to deal with a social/biological crisis, and prepare for the others that will certainly come.

Full textAbstract:
Demography as a dynamic discipline is highly related with other sciences; especially social sciences. It helps other sciences, and is benefited by other sciences too. Demography being statistics-based, widely helps economics, sociology, social development, geography and many other sciences. Sociology proves how integration of sciences help in the development of societies in general. Social change happening in various dimensions, is in need of a close relationship of demography and other social sciences. Social science which deals human behavior in the changing social environment is a part of expanding knowledge. Demography is the science that analyzes the size, structure of human community, are aspects of biological, geographical, economic, etc. Geography also being the science related to natural environment is widely related to sociology.

After its beginnings in the United States, medical sociology started to take hold in Germany in 1958 with a conference that resulted in the first book on medical sociology published in Germany. From uneasy marginality, the field has grown to include disciplines other than sociology—anthropology, economics, and political economy. Today, the field might best be called the “health social sciences.” The main body of work employs the consensual perspective, but work done using a class conflict perspective is increasingly significant.

Full textAbstract:
Sociology has been curiously silent about the concept of luck. The present article argues that this omission is, in fact, an oversight: An explicit and systematic engagement with luck provides a more accurate portrayal of the social world, opens potentially rich veins of empirical and theoretical inquiry, and offers a compelling alternative for challenging dominant meritocratic frames about inequality and the distribution of rewards. This article develops a framework for studying luck, first by proposing a working definition of luck, examining why sociology has ignored luck in the past, and making the case for the value of including luck in sociology’s conceptual repertoire. The article then demonstrates the fertile research potential of studying luck by identifying a host of research questions and hypotheses pertaining to the social construction of luck, the real effects of luck, and theoretical interventions related to luck. It concludes by highlighting the distinctive contributions sociology can make to the growing interdisciplinary interest in this topic.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we ask why is it that sociology has been slow to take up the animal challenge, and ask what would happen if it did. We argue that sociology’s fraught relationship with biology, its assumptions about human exceptionalism and its emergence in the context of industrialization and urbanization are key to understanding its lack of attention to animals and contribute to a limited conceptualization of society. This can be remedied by viewing non-human animals as involuntarily embedded in social relationships, a move which involves a redefinition of the social and of what it means to be human; a revision of notions of agency, subjectivity and reflexivity; and a rejection of the speciesism and anthropocentrism on which sociology is based. Finally, the article contends that a full understanding of society is not possible if we continue to direct the sociology gaze only at humans.
