Resumo: | The article departs from the problem of academic dependency and how does it affect social sciences globally. Farid Alatas suggests that scholars cannot do much at the structural or material level of academic dependency as they are neither in charge of institutions nor the state. However, there is more that can be done at the intellectual or theoretical level. The article presents the concept of alternative discourses as source for a creative and autonomous social science. These are discourses that present themselves as alternatives to what they regard as the Orientalist or Eurocentric social sciences of the North on which the Southern social sciences are dependent. Examples of what may be considered as alternative discourses are provided, taking into account other types of narrative and imagination of social life. |

Farid Alatas indica que os acadêmicos pouco podem fazer a respeito das dimensões estruturais e materiais dessa dependência, pois não estão no comando das instituições e do Estado. Contudo, sugere que há muito a fazer nos níveis intelectual e teórico. O artigo apresenta o conceito de discursos alternativos como fonte para uma ciência social autônoma e criativa. Estes discursos acreditam-se alternativos ao que consideram ser o caráter orientalista ou eurocêntrico das ciências sociais do Norte, das quais a estrutura das ciências sociais do Sul é dependente. O artigo fornece exemplos do que podem ser considerados discursos alternativos, levando em conta outras modalidades de narrativa e imaginação da vida social.Editora FGV2010-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/3224Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 23 No. 46 (2010): National States and Globalization; 225-245Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 23 n. 46 (2010): Estados Nacionais e Globalização; 225-2452178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/3224/2101Alatas, Syed Faridinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-06-14T20:53:56Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/3224Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:51.202429Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
