Social Fields, Subfields and Social Spaces at the Scale of Empires: Explaining the Colonial State and Colonial Sociology

This article develops a series of arguments about social fields, subfields, and social spaces that can help us understand empires and colonies. First, we have to assume that the scale of fields is not always coextensive with the boundaries of the national state but is often much larger, or smaller. Imperial fields are among the most spatially extensive ones, though they may not be as territorially extensive as truly global fields. Second, we need to make a distinction between imperial fields and imperial social spaces (based on Bourdieu's distinction between social fields and social spaces). The third argument is that colonies in modern empires were characterized by two different kinds of fields: fields that were simply extended into the overseas territories, versus completely separate fields unique to one or more of the colonies. The colonial state is an example of a field that is specific to the colony. By contrast, scientific fields were often simply extended from the metropole into the colonies, encompassing both. The fourth argument concerns subfields. Transported into imperial realms, this distinction suggests that some colonial offshoots of fielded metropolitan practices do not constitute separate fields but are nonetheless differentiated from their main overarching field. These four points are illustrated with examples from British, French and German imperial policy, colonial statecraft and colonial sociology.

Em busca de um paradigma: o debate escandinavo sobre a identidade da sociologia do direito

Resumo Este trabalho analisa o debate entre Reza Banakar, Thomas Mathiesen e Håkan Hydén com foco em uma sequência de artigos publicados no periódico Retfærd: Nordisk juridisk tidsskrift entre 1998 e 2001. Escrevendo em um momento em que a realização de estudos sociojurídicos já era prática acadêmica rotineira na Escandinávia, eles propõem soluções bem diferentes para o problema da identidade da sociologia do direito. Assim, o debate escandinavo lança luzes sobre os elementos basilares que atualmente conformam o paradigma sociojurídico em contextos como o brasileiro.

“…Scandinavian sociology has been strongly entangled with the welfare state institutions that shape its intellectual orientation even now. The case of Denmark points to the danger of being too closely dependent on state institutions, illustrated by the episode of a total closedown and rebuilding of the discipline along the ideological lines of a neoconservative government in the 1980s (Kropp 2015). Similarly, Yugoslavia's sociology successfully gained recognition from state authorities, but its social role was defined more closely to the cultural pole than to applied policy.…”

Regime and Sociology: A Comparative History of Sociology in Postwar Europe with Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Soc. sci. hist.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis, this article presents a systematic comparison of differences in the institutional success of sociology in 25 European countries during the academic expansion from 1945 until the late 1960s. Combining context-sensitive national histories of sociology, concept formation, and formal analyses of necessary and sufficient conditions, the article searches for historical explanations for both successful and inhibited processes of the institutionalization of sociology. Concretely, it assesses the interplay of political regime types, the continuous presence of sociological prewar traditions, political Catholicism, and the effects of sociological communities in neighboring countries and how their various combinations are related to more or less well-established sociologies. The results can help explain adversary effects under democratic conditions as well as supportive factors under nondemocratic conditions.
