| description | For theoreticians and researchers in the social sciences, the dramatic and perhaps irreversible ending of the hegemony of the main intellectual traditions in the West constitutes a unique opportunity to re-think their modes of inquiry. To date, their attention has been mainly focused on the way in which the concepts developed in a small group of societies – which we shall refer to as the West – have been applied in the South, as well as to the new meanings and inflexions which these concepts have acquired on this occasion. Today, the most urgent question resides in understanding how the internal structure of these concepts have developed in the countries in the South, but also in specifying the way in which the advent of colonial modernity has modified them. Here the example of India is emblematic. |
