How is the process of globalization effecting changes in the
structure of knowledge in sociology? This path-breaking volume
looks at the human dimension of developments in the discipline by
compiling a set of interviews that exemplify the life and work of a
sociologist today. Their ideas and conceptualizations show to what
extent a "paradigm shift" has taken root, answering questions such
as whether sociology still remains a differentiated, relatively
autonomous social science. The chosen interviewees are about
equally divided according to gender and have been selected from
among professional sociologists in different parts of the globe,
with an emphasis on areas that are under-represented in English
publications, such as East Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
Analysis focuses on changes which are becoming clear from the
on-going confrontation between "traditional" sociology which
emerged as a project of modernity, and the sociology practiced by
sociologists who are called upon to adapt the discipline to the
upheavals of the twenty-first century.
