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 & Technology Studies
(STS), this wide-ranging and thought-provoking collection offers a
broad and cutting-edge overview of outstanding research on academic
knowledge circulation. The book is structured in seven sections:
(i) key concepts in studying the circulation of academic knowledge;
(ii) spaces and actors of circulation; (iii) academic media and
knowledge circulation; (iv) the political economy of academic
knowledge circulation; (v) the geographies, geopolitics and
historical legacies of the global circulation of academic
knowledge; (vi) the relationships between academic and
extra-academic knowledges; and (vii) methodological approaches to
studying the circulation of academic knowledge. This handbook will
be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate
researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in the
circulation of knowledge.
An innovative contribution to debates on the internationalization
and globalization of the social sciences, this book pays particular
attention to their theoretical and epistemological reconfiguration
in the light of postcolonial critiques and critiques of
Eurocentrism. Bringing together theoretical contributions and
empirical case studies from around the world, including India, the
Americas, South Africa, Australia and Europe, it engages in debates
concerning public sociology and explores South-South research
collaborations specific to the social sciences. Contributions
transcend established critiques of Eurocentrism to make space for
the idea of global social sciences and truly transnational
research. Thematically arranged and both international and
interdisciplinary in scope, this volume reflects the different
theoretical and thematic backgrounds of the contributing authors,
who enter into dialogue and debate with one another in the
development of a more inclusive, more representative and more
theoretically relevant stage for the social sciences. A rigorous
critique of the contemporary state of the social sciences as well
as an attempt to find another way of doing transnational sociology,
Global Knowledge Production in the Social Sciences will appeal to
scholars of sociology, political science and social theory with
interests in the production of social scientific knowledge,
postcolonialism and transnationalism in research.
