Theories about and Strategies against Hegemonic Social Sciences: Volume 1 (Beyond the Social Sciences)

by Michael Kuhn (Editor), HebeVessuri (Series Editor), ShujiroYazawa (Editor)

Synopsis

This innovative book provides new perspectives on the globalization of knowledge and the notion of hegemonic sciences. Tying together contributions of authors from all across the world, it challenges existing theories of hegemonic sciences and sheds new light on how they have been and are being constructed. Examining more closely the notions of 'human rights' and 'individualization', this much-needed volume offers new and alternative ideas on how to transform the universalization of the Western model of science and can serve as an eye-opener for all those interested in non-hegemonic scientific discourse. This book is published within the Series 'Beyond the Social Sciences'.
