"In recent years, social scientists have turned their critical lens on the historical
roots and contours of their disciplines, including their politics and practices, epistemologies
and methods, institutionalization and professionalization, national development and
colonial expansion, globalization and local contestations, and their public presence
and role in society. The Social Sciences in the Looking Glass offers current social
scientific perspectives on this reflexive moment in the social sciences. Examining
sociology, anthropology, philosophy, political science, legal theory, and religious
studies, the volume's contributors outline the present transformations of the social
sciences, explore their connections with critical humanities, analyze the challenges
of alternate paradigms, and interrogate recent endeavors to move beyond the human.
Throughout, the authors, who belong to half a dozen disciplines, trace how the social
sciences are thoroughly entangled in the social facts they analyze, and are key to
helping us understand the conditions of our world. Contributors. Chitralekha, Jean-Louis
Fabiani, Didier Fassin, Johan Heilbron, Miriam Kingsberg Kadia, Kristoffer Kropp,
Nicolas Langlitz, John Lardas Modern, Álvaro Morcillo Laiz, Amín Pérez, Carel Smith,
George Steinmetz, Peter D. Thomas, Bregje van Eekelen, Agata Zysiak"
