Resumo: Many works have sought to define the research agenda of Brazilian sociology, its temporal evolution, and other internal and external dynamics. However, the methods employed in the thematic classification of the discipline are still rudimentary. To address this issue, this article applied text processing techniques, particularly Topic Modeling, to analyze over 3 thousand doctoral theses published at the beginning of the millennium. The results indicate that our “new” sociology is characterized by a relative decline in the importance of traditional themes, such as studies on labor, in favor of more diverse topics, such as violence and gender. These transformations seem to reflect guidelines from funding agencies and changes in public debate, posing new challenges on the horizon of the discipline.

Sin embargo, los métodos utilizados en la clasificación temática de la disciplina son aún rudimentarios. Para evitarlo, este artículo sometió más de 3 mil tesis doctorales, publicadas en el inicio del milenio, a técnicas de procesamiento de textos, especialmente Modelado de Tópicos. Los resultados indican que nuestra “nueva” sociología está marcada por la pérdida de importancia relativa de temas tradicionales, como los estudios sobre el trabajo, a favor de tópicos más plurales, como la violencia y el género. Según parece, estas transformaciones reflejan directrices de las agencias financiadoras y cambios en el debate público, lo que coloca nuevos desafíos en el horizonte de la disciplina.De nombreux travaux ont cherché à définir l’agenda de recherche de la sociologie brésilienne, son évolution temporelle, ainsi que d’autres dynamiques aussi bien internes qu’externes. Cependant, les méthodes employées pour classifier ses thématiques sont encore rudimentaires. Pour y remédier, plus de 3 mille thèses de doctorat, publiées au début du millénaire, ont été soumises à des techniques de traitement de texte, en particulier celle de la Modélisation Thématique. Les résultats publiés dans cet article indiquent que notre “nouvelle” sociologie est marquée par la perte de l’importance relative accordée à des thèmes traditionnels comme, par exemple, les études sur le travail, au profit de thèmes plus divers comme la violence et le genre. Il semblerait que ces transformations reflètent les directives des agences de financement ainsi que les changements dans le débat public, posant de nouveaux défis à l’horizon de la discipline.Muitos trabalhos buscaram definir a agenda de pesquisa da sociologia brasileira, sua evolução temporal e demais dinâmicas internas e externas. Porém os métodos empregados na classificação temática da disciplina ainda são rudimentares. Para contornar isso, este artigo submeteu mais de 3 mil teses de doutorado, publicadas no início do milênio, a técnicas de processamento de texto, especialmente à Modelagem de Tópicos. Os resultados indicam que nossa “nova” sociologia é marcada pela perda de importância relativa de temas tradicionais, como os estudos sobre o trabalho, em prol de tópicos mais plurais, como violência e gênero. Ao que parece, essas transformações refletem diretrizes das agências de fomento e mudanças no debate público, o que coloca novos desafios no horizonte da disciplina.Fundação Carlos Chagas2023-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/9904Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 53 (2023); e09904Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 53 (2023); e09904Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 53 (2023); e09904Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 53 (2023); e099041980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
