Global Historical Sociology: Theoretical and Methodological Issues

Abstract

The ongoing collective effort to turn historical sociology into a globally oriented research programme implies a profound reconsideration of its conceptual and terminological premises, as well as a constant critical gaze over the colonial geopolitics of knowledge sociological thinking draws legitimation from. Three strategies are here discussed canonization, re-signification and re-conceptualization.
