摘要

区域研究是二战后欧美学术机构推动的研究世界不同地区的重要方法。这种建构出现在第二次世界大战结束后，反映了世界地缘政治建构的不同领域。它形成了冷战环境的一部分，将美国社会科学工具应用于区域分析。本文认为，我们应该反思和改造这种地域研究的地缘政治建构。它建议我们批判性地参与这些区域研究项目背后的欧美世界认识论，以改变区域研究，并考虑世界主义的主张和跨国界的全球对话。

Rethinking and transforming Area Studies and Indian Studies: A new cosmopolitanism and the challenges of planetary realisations

Area Studies was an important way of studying different parts of the world after the Second World War that was promoted by US-European academic establishments. This construction emerged after the end of the Second World War and reflected the geopolitical construction of the world into different areas. It formed part of the Cold War environment, applying American social science tools to regional analysis. This essay argues that we rethink and transform such a geopolitical construction of Area Studies. It suggests that we critically engage with the epistemologies of the Euro-American world that lie behind such Area Studies projects in order to transform Area Studies and consider the claims of cosmopolitanism and planetary conversations across borders.

期刊介绍： Contributions to Indian Sociology (CIS) is a peer-reviewed journal which has encouraged and fostered cutting-edge scholarship on South Asian societies and cultures over the last 50 years. Its features include research articles, short comments and book reviews. The journal also publishes special issues to highlight new and significant themes in the discipline. CIS invites articles on all countries of South Asia, the South Asian diaspora as well as on comparative studies related to the region. The journal favours articles in which theory and data are mutually related. It welcomes a diversity of theoretical approaches and methods. CIS was founded by Louis Dumont and David Pocock in 1957 but ceased publication in 1966. A new series commenced publication the next year (1967) at the initiative of T.N. Madan with the support of an international group of scholars including Professors Louis Dumont, A.C. Mayer, Milton Singer and M.N. Srinivas. Published annually till 1974, Contributions became a biannual publication in 1975. From 1999, the journal has been published thrice a year.
