Resumo: The article discusses to what extent sociological theories produced in the Brazilian academic field dialogue with a global intellectual movement criticizing coloniality and the Eurocentric foundations of the social sciences. Initially, we analyze the challenges regarding the attempts to define two theoretical approaches, Brazilian sociology, and Postcolonial Thought, without overlooking their internal heterogeneities. Then, we address the tensions between these approaches as conditions for research agendas that bring both contributions into proximity. Finally, we explore the epistemological potential of one of these agendas, which corresponds to a rereading of Brazilian sociological theory in light of postcolonial criticism. This exercise in rereading the canon is based on the methodological program of sociological reduction of Guerreiro Ramos, which indicates a reciprocal interrogation between Brazilian sociology and postcolonial thought, i.e., a decentered look at our sociological tradition that also reveals contributions from this tradition for the future of postcolonial epistemologies.

De início, tratamos dos desafios subjacentes às tentativas de definir os dois enquadramentos, sociologia brasileira e pensamento pós-colonial, sem ignorar suas heterogeneidades internas. Em seguida, analisamos as convergências e tensões entre esses campos como condições de possibilidade para agendas de pesquisa que aproximem ambos os aportes. Por fim, exploramos o potencial epistemológico de uma dessas agendas, que corresponde a uma releitura da tradição sociológica brasileira à luz da crítica pós-colonial. Esse exercício é feito a partir do projeto da “redução sociológica”, de Guerreiro Ramos, que indica uma via de mão dupla na interlocução entre sociologia brasileira e pensamento pós-colonial: um olhar descentrado sobre nossa tradição sociológica que revela contribuições dessa tradição para o futuro das epistemologias pós-coloniais.Departamento de Sociologia - UnB/SOL2023-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/4520810.1590/s0102-6992-202338010009Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 38 No. 01 (2023); 211-242Sociedade e Estado; Vol. 38 Núm. 01 (2023); 211-242Sociedade e Estado; v. 38 n. 01 (2023); 211-2421980-54620102-6992reponame:Sociedade e Estadoinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBengporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/45208/37371https://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/45208/37372Copyright (c) 2023 Sociedade e Estadohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAmaral de Oliveira, LucasAlves, Ana Rodrigues Cavalcanti2023-06-21T14:24:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/45208Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/oaiportaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br||revistasol@unb.br1980-54620102-6992opendoar:2023-06-21T14:24:03Sociedade e Estado - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
