Counter hegemonic currents and internationalization of sociology. Theoretical reflections and one empirical example
Résumé
This article deals with the position of the Southern sociologies within the
discipline. The role and presence of local, national and regional scholarly
communities has been widely reflected on in the context of the discussion around
internationalization or globalization of the discipline. Thus, a variety of critiques
of ‘Eurocentrism’, or more precisely, ‘North Atlantic domination’, have arisen in
recent years that can be strengthened by empirical evidence of strong inequalities
and distorted communication mechanisms within sociology at an international
level. What has been largely missing so far is the demonstration of viable alternatives
to North Atlantic domination, as well as enquiries into the conditions of their
emergence. This article offers a different perspective by highlighting counterhegemonic
currents emerging out of the South despite the peripheral position, i.e. by
drawing attention towards challenging scholarly communities and their output
that have not received much, if any, attention in the discussions so far.
