Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Beyond hegemonic thoughts, post-Western sociology enables a new dialogue between East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) and Europe on common and local knowledge to consider theoretical continuities and discontinuities, to develop transnational methodological spaces, and co-produce creolized concepts. With this new paradigm in social sciences we introduce the multiplication of epistemic autonomies vis-Γ -vis Western hegemony and new theoretical assemblages between East Asian and European sociologies. From this ecology of knowledge this groundbreaking contribution is to coproduce a post-Western space in a cross-pollination process where β€œWestern” and β€œnon-Western” knowledge do interact, articulated through cosmovisions, as well as to coproduce transnational fieldwork practices.
