Papers by Daniel Jatobá
En las últimas décadas se ha elevado el nivel de abstracción de la elaboración teórica y ha ocurrido lo que se denomina aquí una “expansión filosófica de las RRII”, en el sentido de que se hicieron presentes las discusiones sobre las bases epistemológicas, ontológicas y axiológicas de las teorías vehiculadas en la disciplina. En el presente trabajo se intenta dar cuenta de estos movimientos a través del debate positivismo-pospositivismo y sus límites, las bases epistemológicas de la disciplina y sus dimensiones prácticas.
ABSTRACT: The discipline of International Relations (IR) was accused, in the past, of being “the least self-reflexive of the Western social sciences” and “an American social science”, but in the last decades it has changed a lot. Among its current trends, there are critical readings of its self-images and historical narratives, sociological analyses of different national academic developments and renewed interest on epistemological debates. This article offers a case study of the academic developments of IR in Brazil, having these main themes in mind. It investigates the formation of an intellectual field in the country and the social sciences´ institutionalization process, from its national independence until mid-1970s, when the first undergraduate course in IR was created. After fifteen years of solitary existence, that initiative was accompanied by an impressive expansion of the discipline in the Brazilian university system –some probable reasons of this expansion are discussed here, too. Finally, the article presents an epistemological discussion, present in the contemporary IR studies in Brazil, one which focuses on the main alternatives to academic developments when there is hegemony of theories “made in the US”."
