Resumo: | This article takes the most recent methodological dispute in Political Sciences in the USA as a starting point to reflect on the issues impacting the discipline and its role within the Social Sciences. This dispute became public in 2003, when a group of more than 200 North-American political scientists spoke against the editorial line adopted by the American Political Science Review journal, which favored the publication of articles based on mathematical models and in game theory. The article presents the historical origins for the disciplinary fragmentation of the Social Sciences and discusses its consequences for the construction of knowledge in the field of Political Science in present days. It argues that the expansion of academic works that identify themselves with subareas of the traditional disciplines – i.e. Political Sociology, Political Anthropology, Economic Sociology, Political Economy, etc. –, contrary of signifying the deepening of the fragmentation of the Social Sciences, shows a trend in the direction of the reconstruction of its methodological corpus. |

Essa disputa tornou-se pública em 2003, quando um grupo de mais de 200 cientistas políticos norte-americanos manifestouse contra a linha editorial adotada pela revista American Political Science Review, que dava preferência à publicação de artigos baseados em modelos matemáticos e na teoria dos jogos. O artigo apresenta as origens históricas da fragmentação disciplinar das Ciências Sociais e discute suas consequências para a construção do conhecimento na área da Ciência Política na atualidade. Argumenta que a expansão de trabalhos acadêmicos que se identificam com subáreas das disciplinas tradicionais – i.e. Sociologia Política, Antropologia Política, Sociologia Econômica e Economia Política, etc. –, ao contrário de indicarem o aprofundamento da fragmentação das Ciências Sociais, mostram uma tendência para a recomposição de seu corpus metodológico.Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP2011-04-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4107Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 38 (2010)1984-02410101-3459reponame:Perspectivasinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4107/3742Copyright (c) 2011 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociaisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAndrews, Christina W.2011-04-25T14:33:47Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4107Revistahttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivasPUBhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/oai||lahuerta@fclar.unesp.br1984-02410101-3459opendoar:2011-04-25T14:33:47Perspectivas - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |

This article takes the most recent methodological dispute in Political Sciences in the USA as a starting point to reflect on the issues impacting the discipline and its role within the Social Sciences. This dispute became public in 2003, when a group of more than 200 North-American political scientists spoke against the editorial line adopted by the American Political Science Review journal, which favored the publication of articles based on mathematical models and in game theory. The article presents the historical origins for the disciplinary fragmentation of the Social Sciences and discusses its consequences for the construction of knowledge in the field of Political Science in present days. It argues that the expansion of academic works that identify themselves with subareas of the traditional disciplines – i.e. Political Sociology, Political Anthropology, Economic Sociology, Political Economy, etc. –, contrary of signifying the deepening of the fragmentation of the Social Sciences, shows a trend in the direction of the reconstruction of its methodological corpus. |
