Interdisciplinarity in French Social Sciences Scientific Journals by Eric Brun

“…ABSTRACT Taking France as its example, the following article examines the relations between the disciplines of social sciences discovered during the arduous task of classifying French social sciences journals according to more specific disciplines (sociology, political science and anthropology, etc.). Based on a study of the journals’ own methods of self-labeling and the methods used to classify these journals by a French assessment body (AERES), as well as the forming of journal executive committees, the article highlights the fact that the journals frequently cover a range of disciplines, without this implying the disappearance of disciplinary structures. …”

L’IA tra Katzuo Ishiguro e Federico Faggin by TERMINI, SETTIMO

Merton, la riflessività e la scienza sociale impossibile by Sandro Landucci

“…Merton’s sociology to self-referential circular processes, a thematic attention that gives his sociological analyses and theoretical constructs a peculiar ironic and paradoxical tone.The characteristics of this thematic attention for self-referential schemes are shown by analysing the self-exemplifying nature of two essays, On the Shoulders of Giants (1965) and Travels and Adventures of Serendipity (Merton e Barber, 2002), that are commonly considered as standing aside in Merton’s production for their entirely paradoxical, humoristic style.It points out the genesis of this self-referential theme in early Merton’s works of the ’30s, showing its close connection with the theme of the unintended consequences of intentional action, considered by Merton as essential for the very existence of sociology as an independent theoretical discipline.It then proceeds to discuss the important role played by self-referential circular scheme — highlighting its connections with Merton’s conception of social science, of the relation between individual intentional action and social, structural conditions, and of sociological reflexivity — throughout his sociological work: from the study of sociological ambivalence to the critique of functionalist postulates, and from the self-fulfilling prophecy to the sociology of science.…”
