“…These studies rarely speak to the sociology of the 'global' discipline and the question of theorising beyond the Northern core-now commonly termed the 'Global IR' problematique (Acharya 2014). However, recent years have witnessed some studies moving in that direction (Jatoba 2013;Lima 2015; Barasuol and Silva 2016) and this article aims to further this trend by analysing Brazilian IR from a sociology of knowledge perspective. The following analysis is based on fieldwork that engages 32 IR scholars in Brazil in conversations on the question of whether to import 'Northern' theories and/or develop indigenous, Southern theories.…”

The sociology of International Relations (IR) around the world has evolved from an initial wave of critiques of its dominant American core towards a second wave of peripheral explorations that found IR to be disappointingly similar around the world. Advancing a more recent wave that stresses Southern sensibilities, hybridity and peripheral agency, this article calls for attention to the heterogeneities, positionality struggles and vernacularisations of sociological hierarchies in periphery IR. Taking Brazil as a case, it analyses peripheral IR as a field occupied by plural and competing positions on the question of how to engage with Northern theories and/or develop indigenous, Southern theories. The article shows how position-taking is structured by a rivalry among different schools of thought with their respective take on the import/indigenisation of IR theory-Brazilianising, Provincialising and Scientising IR-and how the hierarchy among seemingly recognisable debate positions is subverted when they travel to the periphery.
