CALL FOR PAPERS

"Journal of Comparative Sociology"

Contributions are invited for a new journal called the "Journal of Comparative 
Sociology", which aims to question and develop alternatives to conventional 
western sociological and anthropological wisdom. Ranging in scope from doubt 
about western self-representations as they appear in the so-called social 
sciences to encouragement to develop non-Western and so-called traditional 
points of view, the journal is oriented to providing a forum for that Social 
and sociological thought that presumes a plurality of sociologies and 
civilizational perspectives. Limited to begin with to Indian and European 
perspectives, the journal hopes to be able to accomodate as many others as 
possible, if contributions are forthcoming. Both ethnographic and theoretical 
materials are equally welcome.The emphasis will fall on careful  reasoning 
rather than empirical curiosity, though of course the counterposition of the 
two may well be an exaggeration. The work of young scholars is especially 
welcome.

Deadline for the forthcoming issue is 10th Aug. 2003.
