Resumo

The figure plots the number of articles that have attempted to 'bring' something 'back in' in the social sciences by publication year and number of citations. Andrew Abbott, taking a (pessimistic) sociology of knowledge perspective, identified this tendency—beginning with Homans's classic article 'Bringing Men Back in'—as emblematic of the tendency to rediscover old ideas in sociology. The plot shows that 'bring-backs' did not become a common yearly occurrence until the mid to late 1990s but are now relatively frequent. The most successful bring-backs have been relatively abstract things such as the 'state' and 'society' and more recently, 'culture,' 'knowledge,' and 'values.'
