“…Steger and James' book, along with initiatives such as EURAC's 'Re-globalization' agenda and the 'Global Dynamics' project at UCSB, betoken a more sustained and bullish campaign to refurbish global studies; an agenda to take it forward at this important conjuncture in global structuration. I note a similar intervention in the pages of this journal, also occasioned by the spread of Covid-19, and situating the pandemic in a 'triple conjuncture of global crises' that point the way to 'radical systemic transformation' (Gills, 2020;Farrell & Newman, 2020; see also Centeno et al, 2020). All of which is portentous, both for life after the virus is tamed and for the future of global scholarship.…”

“…Today, the process of digitalisation of everyday life, in which many of us are permanently connected (Nadolu & Nadolu, 2020;Centeno et al, 2020), is unavoidable and has profound implications for the way science is also sociological. This insight is in line with that of Fussey and Roth (2020) when the authors argue that the Digital forms of interaction are embedded in everyday life and every sector of society.…”

Sociology: Tension between Science and Militant Activism?

This position paper is based on the assumption that there is an appreciation of Sociology as a justification for certain representations and practices of social and political intervention. In Sociology: Tension between science and militant activism?, the authors aim at justifying, on a reasoned basis, the relevance of Sociology as a specific form of scientific knowledge in current times, without, however, confusing the role of Sociology with the direct resolution of inequalities and injustices. At the methodological level, a bibliographic search on this subject has been carried out in scientific literature databases, such as Scopus, Web of Knowledge, SCILIT and institutional repositories, supplemented by the experience of the authors as sociologists, both in the teaching and research dimensions. Sociology focuses on sociological problems and not directly on social problems, and, as a science, it can contribute greatly to the understanding of the social world. Furthermore, the results from sociological research can potentially be applied in society in the most diverse political senses (in the broadest sense of this term). In conclusion, and as an implication, if this militant activist tendency is accentuated, Sociology may paradoxically lose recognition and scientific, academic and social legitimacy, contributing to its des-institutionalisation and consequent difficulty in having its knowledge applied to the resolution of social problems.
