Teoria crítica e semiperiferia: reflexões sobre a modernidade global e a geopolítica da teoria sociológica

Abstract

In the past few years, mainly due the prominence that the Post-Colonial studies have assumed in the field of sociology, several studies have pointed to the need to problematize the relations of production and circulation of sociological theory between center and periphery. José Maurício Domigues's book, Theory and Semi-Periphery, by bringing to the center of theoretical reflections authors from different peripheral regions of the globe - such as Latin America, India, China and Israel -, opens new possibilities for critical reflection about the geopolitics of sociological theory as well contributes to the discussion on global modernity from the Periphery and Semi-Periphery.
