Когато социологическите знания надхвърлят техните контексти
When Sociological Knowledge Spreads beyond its Contexts

Summary/Abstract: Based on the experience and advancing international position of the International Association of French-Speaking Language Sociologists (AISLF), the article discusses the topic of “hegemony of knowledge in sociology”. The author proceeds from the hypothesis that, when sociological knowledge spreads beyond its contexts into particular national contexts, it circulates. In this case, we must trace its specific dynamic courses. The article takes two approaches to these courses of knowledge. The first approach, which originated in the second half of the twentieth century, is “substantialist” and “expansionist”. The second approach, “diffusionist” and “reflexive”, tends to rely on the ability of sociological knowledges to circulate, to enter into dialogue with civil society, and to meet the challenge of building a “public sociology”.
