Postcolonialism and Sociology
E-Mail-Debate by Manuela Boatcă, Sina Farzin and Julian Go
Keywords:
Postkolonialismus, DebatteAbstract
In dieser per E-Mail geführten Debatte diskutieren wir über das Verhältnis von Postkolonialismus und Soziologie. Während post- und dekoloniale Ansätze in den Geistes- und Literaturwissenschaften vergleichweise breit diskutiert wurden, war die Rezeption in der Soziologie eher verhalten. Die Gründe für diesen Unterschied werden ebenso angesprochen wie aktuelle Verbindungen zwischen postkolonialer Theorie und Soziologie.
In this email debate we discuss the relation between postcolonialism and sociology. While post- and decolonial approaches had a significant impact on the humanities, reception in sociology has been more reluctant. The reasons for this difference are as well discussed as recent connections between postcolonial thought and sociology.
