This article deals with the position of the Southern sociologies within the discipline. The role and presence of local, national and regional scholarly communities has been widely reflected on in the context of the discussion around internationalization or globalization of the discipline. Thus, a variety of critiques of 'Eurocentrism', or more precisely, 'North Atlantic domination', have arisen in recent years that can be strengthened by empirical evidence of strong inequalities and distorted communication mechanisms within sociology at an international level. What has been largely missing so far is the demonstration of viable alternatives to North Atlantic domination, as well as enquiries into the conditions of their emergence. This article offers a different perspective by highlighting counterhegemonic currents emerging out of the South despite the peripheral position, i.e. by drawing attention towards challenging scholarly communities and their output that have not received much, if any, attention in the discussions so far. keywords: counterhegemony ✦ globalization ✦ history of sociology ✦ sociological theory ✦ sociology of the social sciences

“…The first issue for 1991 was titled ‘The Internationalization of Sociology: The Unfinished Agenda’, and included the telling remark, ‘Contemporary Sociology stands and falls with its own internationalization’ (Genov, 1991: 1). Including perspectives from the developing and the developed world, this issue explored sociology’s place in the world, and how the world has been reflected in sociology.…”

This review paper marks the 70th anniversary of Current Sociology, the first journal founded by the International Sociological Association (ISA). The past seven decades have been a time of immense change within sociology and around the world, and the shifts within the structure and content of the journal mirror these transformations. Current Sociology today is a vastly different publication to the bibliography focused journal of 1952, and remains one of the top global sociology journals, and a proudly international publication. This short overview traces the history of Current Sociology across the decades, highlighting the work of the editors in guiding the development of the journal, and providing a glimpse into the development of the discipline, and the social developments of the past 70 years.

“…Ongoing debates on the globalisation of economy and society, as well as the increasingly cross-national activities of the scholarly community, have been enhancing reflections on the internationalisation or globalisation of the discipline, a topic on the agenda of each of the more recent World Congresses of Sociology. Diverging perceptions of these processes within sociology have been articulated, opposing those who argue for the internationalisation or globalisation of the discipline without explicitly insisting on present North-South divides (Albrow/King 1990;Archer 1991;Genov 1991) on the one hand, and those who insist on the disadvantaged position of, for instance, African (Adésínà 2002) or Indian (Oommen 1991) sociologies, on the other hand. The debate around the globalisation of sociology, political and often polemical at first sight, illustrates the increasingly difficult articulation between the universalistic claims of the discipline as such and its particular developments locally or nationally (Berthelot 1998;Keim 2006), and is thus of epistemological importance as well.…”

International audienceThe development of sociology in Africa and Latin America has remained largelyunder-researched until now. Ongoing debates on the globalisation of economy andsociety, as well as the increasingly cross-national activities of the scholarlycommunity, have been enhancing reflections on the internationalisation orglobalisation of the discipline, a topic on the agenda of each of the more recentWorldCongresses of Sociology. Diverging perceptions of these processes within sociologyhave been articulated, opposing those who argue for the internationalisation orglobalisation of the discipline without explicitly insisting on present North-Southdivides (Albrow/King 1990; Archer 1991; Genov 1991) on the one hand, and thosewho insist on the disadvantaged position of, for instance, African (Adésínà 2002) orIndian (Oommen 1991) sociologies, on the other hand. The debate around theglobalisation of sociology, political and often polemical at first sight, illustrates theincreasingly difficult articulation between the universalistic claims of the discipline assuch and its particular developments locally or nationally (Berthelot 1998; Keim2006), and is thus of epistemological importance as well
