Location:
RC08 History of Sociology (host committee)
Language: Spanish, French and English
Session Type: Oral
Considering that global approaches have relevance for the understanding of local or national dynamics, this session seeks to receive papers which study, historically, aspects of scholarly life, such as careers, political positions, cultural prestige etc. on the one hand, and scholarly production, such as books, articles, translations, on the other hand. We invite contributions which tackle the question of the internationalisation of the social sciences through several angles: 1. Circulation of actors or groups (collective trajectories) beyond national boundaries and construction of transnational networks of intellectual and scholarly exchanges; 2. International movements of social ideas, social scientific theories and methods (publications, translation, oral diffusion) in the constitution of disciplines and research areas; 3. The role of supranational or multilateral institutions and international organizations in shaping local dynamics of knowledge production as well as the role of disciplinary associations in the internationalization of the social sciences; 4. The role of academic exchange programs and mobility of students and staff; 5. Comparative analyses of the repercussions of international debates at national or regional levels; 6. Scientific and cultural diplomacy and the social sciences.
