Multiple crisis, new responses
This article examines the contemporary predicament of modernity. It outlines its former three phases, as they until recently followed one another, and a fourth phase, currently emerging, is conceptualized. This article provides a critical review of the literature about the former phases. It then turns to ongoing transformations in politics, with re-oligarchization and autocratic inroads, the return of great power rivalries and warfare; in the eco…

Teoria sociológica no Brasil hoje
Este artigo busca fazer um breve balanço do estado da teoria sociológica hoje, com referência também especificamente ao Brasil. Isso é instrumental sobretudo para identificar problemas, bem como os caminhos e soluções que se podem percorrer e tecer de modo a robustecer uma área fundamental de pesquisa que, nas últimas décadas, declinou ou se paralisou, o que ocorre no Brasil também, aqui, antes de haver se consolidado. Estrutura e ação, modernida…
The Social and Sociological Province of Climate Change
Despite its importance and prominence in public debates, including in many social science-related disciplines such as political science, anthropology, geography, and history, climate change has been unevenly addressed within critical sociology. In the tradition of critical theories, a critical sociology approach could contribute to climate science by discussing, for instance, what it means for societies and individuals to live together in times o…
Ecumenical critical theory, pluralism and developmental trends
Critical social theory is a late product of the Enlightenment, though pushed beyond its original intentions. It then developed mainly with Marxism, but since the beginning other strands have been important, such as anarchism, feminism, anti-colonialism, anti-racism and environmentalism. The immanent critique of modernity must be seen indeed as ecumenical. In its plurality, it must have however at its core the realisation of equal freedom and full…
Critical Theory and Climate Change
Authoritarian Collectivism and ‘Real Socialism’
Power and rule, civilisations and the modern political dimension
This paper discusses power in world history and then in the political dimension of modernity, contrasting it with how power was exercised in other civilisations. It mobilises key texts on large-scale historical sociology and evolutionary theories. In order to articulate a discussion on systems of rule, hierarchy, network and market, the analytical categories of justification and legitimation are introduced. To organise and frame the historical re…
From global risk to global threat
This article tries to understand the manifold impact the coronavirus crisis has had on social life. Beck's 'risk society' is discussed, especially in the pandemic's transition from a risk to a concrete threat. Moreover, the article shows that the World Health Organization was already framing its discourse in connection with risk, though the nation-state model that dominates global politics prevented it from taking more decisive action, not becaus…

As subjetividades coletivas e as províncias prático-hermenêuticas da vida social
Este artigo articula uma alternativa, baseada na teoria da subjetividade coletiva, a algumas das mais correntes perspectivas conceituais que tratam de sistemas sociais específicos nas formações sociais altamente diferenciadas e complexas da modernidade. Em lugar dos conceitos de 'campo' ou 'esferas', mas em parte reconhecendo sua pertinência, o artigo propõe a concepção de subjetividades coletivas como províncias prático-hermenêuticas que atraves…

O Brasil Entre O Futuro E O Futuro
Emancipation and History
Assessing critical theory today, José Maurício Domingues' Emancipation and History focuses on the connection between history and emancipation, centering on the trends that structure modernity and may lead us beyond it. Classical and contemporary sociology and social theory are mobilized to recover a robust theory capable of going beyond recurrent empirical, and therefore weaker, perspectives in emancipatory thought. Collective subjectivity and so…
Public opinion and collective subjectivity
This paper discusses the concept of public opinion at a theoretical level. It starts from the recognition of the importance of this concept for sociology and reconnects with older strands in sociology and neighboring disciplines which focused on it, such as social psychology and political science. In reviewing the literature, it collects its insights and endeavours to surmount its shortcomings, drawing upon the concept of collective subjectivity.…

Antología del pensamiento crítico brasileño contemporáneo
Esta antología del pensamiento crítico brasileño, cuyo recorte temporal abarca desde mediados del siglo pasado hasta el presente, supone un esfuerzo por presentar algunos de los principales ejes y autores/as que organizaron la reflexión sobre la sociedad brasileña desde entonces. No se trata de agotar los temas y las cuestiones que fueron emergiendo a lo largo de este tiempo, tampoco los/las autores/as más importantes o representativos/as. Semeja…
Global Modernity
This article tackles some methodological issues in sociological theory, in particular as a way to resume the discussion of modernity with a systematic intent. Descriptions and descriptive concepts are distinguished from middle-range analytical categories, which are distinguished from general analytical categories. History and evolution are also included methodologically in the analysis. Trend-concepts, which imply the development of some features…

Global Modernization, 'Coloniality' and a Critical Sociology for Contemporary Latin America
This article analyses recent social, cultural and political developments in Latin America, with special reference to the 'modernity/coloniality' project, as well as offering an alternative sociological interpretation of the contemporary subcontinent. It analyses in particular Walter Mignolo's work as the main expression of that 'post/decolonial' project, a general interpretive effort that reflects actual social changes but offers misguided theore…
Gerações, modernidade e subjetividade coletiva
As gerações como problema sociológico, conceitual e empiri-camente, têm recebido certa atenção recentemente. Todavia permanecem subteorizadas, de modo geral e em termos de suas configurações particulares na modernidade. Este artigo revê a literatura sociológica e antropológica sobre o tema e propõe-se a reconceituá-lo fazendo uso do conceito de "subjetividade coletiva", para então retomar a sua análise nos quadros da sociedade moderna
Teoria social, extroversão e autonomia
Este artigo analisa a produção de teoria social na periferia em diferentes eras geopolíticas e fases da modernidade, com ênfase especial para a sociologia semi(periférica) contemporânea. Argumenta-se que a agenda de pesquisa atual gira ao redor de um movimento intelectual de crítica destituinte do eurocentrismo e da modernidade, sem conseguir, no entanto, criar formulações teórico-metodológicas sistemáticas, como ocorreu a meados do século XX. Bu…
A dialética da modernização conservadora e a nova história do Brasil
In this article, we propose that the so-called has been completed in Brazil. Dialectically, success led to overcoming both the conservative modernization itself and the regulated order before a new integrative institutional frame could be fully developed. In advancing this argument, we review the recent literature on the agrarian issue and the political-institutional evolution of Brazil, in addition to an overall perspective of the theory of mode…
Sociological Theory and the Space-Time Dimension of Social Systems
This article identifies the traditional Newtonian-Kantian definition of time and space in sociology and argues that, although certain important steps have been taken to overcome this outdated view, these novel perspectives have remained undeveloped as regards social systems. Accordingly, an approach is proposed that centres on the space-time dimension of social systems and their variable configuration. The article introduces the notions of `colle…
Reflexividade, individualismo e modernidade
O artigo visa a discutir o problema da reflexividade, com referência em particular às teorias recentes sobre a questão, com dois objetivos: 1) apresentar um conceito menos racionalista e restrito de reflexividade, também pouco marcado pela divisão entre sujeito e objeto, e que se desdobra, portanto, em outras dimensões; 2) pensar como as diversas modernidades, com suas múltiplas tradições, podem ser analisadas fazendo-se uso desse conceito de ref…
Social Integration, System Integration and Collective Subjectivity
This article argues that Lockwood's piece on social and system integration was quite insightful at the time, but that it failed in correctly solving the issues it raised. More recent versions of the distinction, such as Giddens's and Archer's, are deemed not satisfactory either. Three steps are then taken in order to provide an alternative solution, which tackles the general problem of the relationship between structure and agency. The critical a…
Modernity and Modernizing Moves
Some of the most promising advances in recent social and sociological theory have happened in connection with historical sociology, including the 'multiple' or 'entangled' modernity as well as the civilizational approaches, despite their several problems. This article critically resumes this debate, proposing specific conceptualizations of civilization and modernity, at the global level, as well as of regions. Multidimensionality and collective s…

Beyond the centre
This article develops an argument about what it defines as the 'third phase of modernity' and tackles, in a comparative manner, the cases of Latin America (especially Brazil), South Asia (especially India) and China. It tries to identify specific modernizing moves which imply individualizing comparisons as well as encompassing comparisons in relation to these areas and countries. It builds its argument from a few theoretical assumptions and moves…

Sociology and the Logic of Theoretical Research
This article deals with problems of the philosophy of science in terms of its concrete development in sociological theory. Parsons' theses on theory building and Alexander's redirectioning of some of its fundamental tenets are discussed. It is shown that Alexander's ideas are consistent with the so-called post-positivist philosophy of science that is linked to Popper and Kuhn, but that he is oblivious to other strands that are much more in tune w…
Social Theory, Extroversion and Autonomy
This article analyses the production of peripheral social theory in different geopolitical eras and stages of modernity, with a special focus on contemporary (semi)peripheral sociology. It is argued that a step forward must be taken beyond destituting thought, as a reference to those intellectual strands which focus on the critique of Eurocentrism and the destitution of its epistemological foundations. Therefore, we seek to analyse some of the ma…
Vicissitudes E Possibilidades Da Teoria Crítica Hoje
Neste texto, a teoria crítica é vista hoje como basicamente dissolvida, incapaz de analisar e de compreender a decadência da democracia ou suas limitações em todo o mundo (salvo na América Latina), bem como as novas configurações globais, profundamente desiguais, do capitalismo contemporâneo. Discutem-se os recentes desenvolvimentos da tradição frankfurtiana, as contribuições e limitações do pós-colonialismo, as vertentes marxistas e as abordagen…
The imaginary and politics in modernity
Culture has been at the core of many recent developments in the social sciences, particularly after the so-called 'linguistic turn'. This has also been seeping into discussions about the relation between culture and politics. The present paper proposes a specific theoretical approach in this respect. It mobilizes Castoriadis's concept of the 'imaginary', as well as those of 'collective subjectivity' and 'social creativity'. It also makes use of t…
Dominação e indiferença na teoria crítica de Gabriel Cohn
Dans cet article, on reconstitue la trajectoire théorique de Gabriel Cohn, dont l'oeuvre peut être partagée grosso modo en deux phases. Dans la première, sous l'influence d'Adorno et de Weber en particulier, la modernité est vue sous l'angle de la domination et d'une tendance à la construction de systèmes inclusifs par l'oppression. Dans la seconde, une fois conservés ces fondements, la notion de "pluralisme" et d'indifférence, à partir d'une lec…
Ashis Nandy e as vicissitudes do self
Este texto trata da obra de Ashis Nandy, um dos principais intelectuais indianos contemporâneos, psicólogo social, psicanalista, bem como cientista político, que busca desenvolver o que chamou de "tradicionalismo crítico". Sua discussão da personalidade e do indivíduo, dentro de uma concepção ampla da civilização da Índia, com a modernidade fazendo-se presente como ameaça explícita (e elemento implícito, mais ambiguamente), é crucial em vários se…
The City
Weber's piece on the development of the north-European Western city has not commanded attention in the recent theoretical literature. This article argues that it can however provide fresh insights into some key problems of Weber’s diagnosis of modernity and into his general sociological theory, especially as to his theory of action and creativity. A more open-ended conception of modernity can be gained from its analysis, which is more compatible …
Social memory, social creativity and collective subjectivity
Social memory and social creativity are the two processes whereby social systems are reproduced and change without teleology. Social memory, with its ideal features but also its material embodiments, must have the collective dimension brought out, without detriment to the shifting and personalized ways with which individuals deal with it. It provides the patterns for the structuring of social life in the hermeneutic-cognitive and in the material,…

Dialectics and Modernity, Autonomy and Solidarity
This article connects the contemporary crisis of modernity to the crisis of the Welfare State in the West and to its so far incomplete establishment in 'Latin'-America, with special reference to Brazil. The reflexivisation of modernity is thus linked to a discussion of citizenship and social police which harks back to the definition of the principles of social policy, focusing on the possible alternative of 'generative politics' as a means of cre…
Reorganizando a modernidade
Discute-se idéias (tais como a 'política gerativa' proposta por Anthony Giddens) para uma reorganização da modernidade, alternativas tanto ao privatismo individualista quanto a uma concepção de solidariedade excessivamente estatizada que é própria do Welfare State
Sociologia da cultura, memória e criatividade social
Social memory and social creativity are the two processes by which social systems are reproduced and change without teleology. The collective dimension of social memory, which displays both ideal elements and material forms, should be underscored, without, however, disregarding the changeable, personalized ways individuals can deal with this memory. Social memory provides patterns for structuring social life in its hermeneutic-cognitive, material…

Desenvolvimento, modernidade e subjetividade
O tema da modernidade foi central para a obra de Costa Pinto, em dois registros. Um, mais evidente, implicava uma recusa da expressão, que lhe servia para conceituar um tipo de evolução histórica e social que ele rejeitava como modelo e telos para o Brasil, caracterizando-se pela adoção de padrões de consumo, de comportamento, de instituições, valores e idéias das sociedades mais avançadas, sem importar necessariamente em transformações reais da …
Evolution, History and Collective Subjectivity
The article focuses on three sociological streams as regards the relationship between social evolution and history: functionalism and neofunctionalism, from Parsons to Alexander; the British 'historism' of Gellner, Giddens and Mann; and genetic structuralism, from Habermas to Eder. It demonstrates how historical contingency and collective subjectivities have found a prominent role in these discussions. It points to the necessity of combining cont…

Creativity and Master Trends in Contemporary Sociological Theory
This article considers whether there exists today a movement of similar strength to the synthetic 'new theoretical movement' of the mid-1980s. The author argues that one main trend in sociological theory today is the notion of creativity and efforts to understand it conceptually. The contemporary growth of contingency, it is claimed, is closely related to this creative perspective. After examining Parsons's notion of 'double contingency', the art…

Modernidade, complexidade e articulação mista
Debates on the organization of modernity articulated by the state (which succeeded 19th-century liberal modernity and was immersed in a crisis in the 1970s and 80s) failed to reach a conclusion. Rather than resuming post-modernist ideas, this article develops the thesis that we are now in the midst of a third stage of modernity, resulting from that crisis and characterized by more evolutive complexity and mixed articulation. This stage, together …
