The uses of generative artificial intelligence in social research north and south
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (gen-AI) confronts the social sciences in the Global North and South with uncertainties along a spectrum between hopes for previously unimagined, leapfrogging potentials and fears of unprecedented risks that deepen divides. Lack of empirical data made it difficult to comprehend the situation and how to respond to it. To remedy this predicament, it is necessary to obtain empirical data to…

Uso y valoración de la inteligencia artificial generativa en los estudios sociales. Reporte sobre la experiencia de la comunidad académica de la Flacso México
Ante la rápida expansión de las herramientas de la inteligencia artificial generativa (iag) y la incertidumbre sobre sus impactos en la docencia e investigación en las ciencias sociales, es necesario contar con datos empíricos para conocer cómo y en qué medida se utilizan dichas tecnologías. Con tal objetivo, este grupo de investigación realizó una encuesta sobre el uso y percepción sobre la iag entre la comunidad de docentes y estudiantes de la …
Global Sociology and the Struggles for a Better World
Debating futures
This article discusses the uneasy relationship between forward-oriented sociological research and public debate. It explores how implicit assumptions and explicit conceptualizations influence sociology's ability to address the future. It argues that the stakes are not merely theoretical but also practical because methodological pre-decisions shape sociology's relation to public debate and its abilities to tackle the emergent challenges of our tim…
Inequality, development, and the rising democracies of the Global South
The 2010 G-20 summit marked the transition to a new multipolar world with participation of rising powers from the Global South. This article explores the new hopes for a more equitable future with a focus on the tripartite alliance of India, Brazil, and South Africa (IBSA). In contrast to their BRICS counterparts China and Russia, the IBSA countries have democratic political systems and share major foreign policy objectives, including UN Security…
Future moves
This article introduces the monograph on Future Moves. It discusses sociology's re-emerging concern for the future and the general approach on which the contributors converge despite diverse theoretical provenances, thematic focuses, and social settings. It explains how the studies in this publication contribute to the strengthening of a future-oriented sociology and studies of culture, society, and technology
Nuevos medios de comunicación y movilización transnacional
Las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación facilitaron no sólo una globalización económica acelerada, también fomentaron la esperanza de configurar una robustasociedad civil y global de cosmopolitas solidarios comprometidos con el activismo transnacional. El levantamiento zapatista en Chiapas ha sido ampliamente considerado como el caso prototipo de conflicto social donde el uso de Internet desempeñó un papel instrumental. Este te…
Debatendo Futuros
Este artigo explora a difícil relação entre uma sociologia voltada para o futuro e o debate público no momento em que suposições implícitas e operacionalizações explícitas sobre o futuro mudam da noção de determinismo para a de contingência e conflito. Os problemas não são apenas teóricos, mas também práticos, visto que as escolhas metodológicas prévias moldam a relação da sociologia com o debate público e sua capacidade de enfrentar os desafios …
The values of global futures
This article provides concluding reflections for the monograph on Values and Culture by focusing on the role that values can play in the shaping of global futures. It discusses the emerging reconceptualizations of values and culture vis-a-vis accelerated financial flows and neoliberal deregulation, transnational migration, social movements and incipient global publics. It emphasizes that the study of values is not just about social cohesion but a…
Values and the conditions of global communication
This article examines the role of values in the shaping of futures from the perspective of global communication. It argues that the prospects for a democratic world society depend on the creation of global deliberative publics as a necessary, albeit not sufficient, condition. It explores how the new media that facilitate globalization of trade and production can also provide technical infrastructures for grassroots dialogue across borders. The co…
Values and culture in the social shaping of the future
This article introduces the Current Sociology monograph issue on Values and Culture. It discusses sociology's renewed interest in values and the general approach on which the contributors converge despite diverse theoretical backgrounds, areas of focus and social settings. It explains how the studies in this publication contribute to the understanding of the formation and operation of values on micro, meso and macro levels in an increasingly glob…
Adorno, Theodor W. (1903–1969)
Theodor W. Adorno, a German‐Jewish social theorist and cultural critic, is best known as a central protagonist in the development of the Frankfurt School's Critical Theory
Horkheimer, Max (1895–1973)
Max Horkheimer is best known as the long‐time director of the Frankfurt School and co‐author of the Dialectic of Enlightenment (with Theodor W. Adorno). In the 1930s Horkheimer defined the Frankfurt School's agenda of interdisciplinary empirical research, guided the Institute through the years of exile, and succeeded in its reestablishment in Frankfurt after World War II
Novas mídias, mobilização transnacional e as reestruturações das esferas públicas
The accelerated diffusion of the new interactive communication technologies lends urgency to the question about their democratic potential. This paper maintains that public deliberation is at the core of democracy. While economic globalization raises the need for global political regulation, active civil societal structures on the global level are needed as a democratic counterforce. The case of the Zapatista movement is a relatively rare example…
Transnational Conflicts
Laser cleaning applied in the restoration of a medieval wooden panel chamber at Pirna
Collective Action across Borders
This paper analyzes the dynamics of the Zapatista uprising with research tools inspired by recent social movement theory. It finds that the insurgent indigenous peasants of Chiapas rose up in arms under conditions of relative economic and political deprivation at a particularly opportune moment after developing a project of insurgency and acquiring significant organizational strength. Militarily, the Zapatistas would not have been able to hold ou…
