description Our work seeks to demonstrate the difficulties and resistances faced by subaltern studies – feminist studies, queer studies and postcolonial studies – to break with the hegemonic epistemologies of the social sciences, especially the Eurocentric sociology. We will point out firstly the basic rules that have validated and have referred sociology as an area of knowing truly unique and outstanding within the universities, since the nineteenth century, as well as the theoretical assumptions linked to its legitimation. Secondly, we will analyze the context for the emergence and development of epistemological ruptures follow-on the appearance of subaltern knowledge’s that are directly linked to the challenge of modernity as a life project and what subaltern studies have to tell us about the new configurations of contemporary social reality. We are based on a methodology that points the set of epistemological generalizations made by sociology, especially the positive and related schools, and the epistemic ruptures resulting of the subaltern studies.

Nosso trabalho busca demonstrar as dificuldades e resistências encontradas pelos estudos subalternos – estudos feministas, estudos queer e estudos pós-coloniais – para rompermos com as epistemologias hegemônicas das ciências sociais, sobretudo a sociológica eurocêntrica positivista. De início apontaremos os preceitos básicos que validaram e referenciaram a sociologia como uma área de saber genuinamente ímpar e de destaque dentro das universidades, desde o século XIX, bem como os pressupostos teóricos associados a sua legitimação. Num segundo momento, analisaremos o contexto para o surgimento e desenvolvimento das rupturas epistemológicas advindas do aparecimento dos saberes subalternos que estão diretamente ligados ao questionamento da modernidade enquanto um projeto de vida. Nosso objetivo é mostrar a problemática epistêmica que envolve o questionamento das correntes sociológicas clássicas e o que os estudos subalternos têm a nos dizer acerca das novas configurações da realidade social contemporânea. Basear-nos-emos em uma metodologia que aponta o conjunto de generalizações epistemológicas feitas pela sociologia, especialmente a positiva e escolas afins, e as rupturas epistêmicas advindas dos estudos subalternos. 2015-08-13 2022-03-18T18:33:21Z 2022-03-18T18:33:21Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7353 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63212 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7353/5414 Copyright (c) 2015 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 20 n. 38 (2015): Dossiê: Sociedade e poder em Michel Foucault 1982-4718 1414-0144
