ENGLISH

Social Science Information is a major international forum for the analysis and debate of trends and approaches in social science research. Based at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris and publishing articles in both English and French, the journal provides a space for innovative theoretical as well as empirical contributions to issues that transcend the framework of the traditional disciplines. Given its international orientation, contributions of a comparative or cross-cultural nature are particularly welcome.

SSI is an interdisciplinary journal with strong bases in some areas of the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, history, and economics, and to some extent of psychology, philosophy, and political science. Contributions are welcome from all of these disciplines, but in particular when they address challenging and comprehensive issues in the analysis of major social transformations and promote innovative conceptual approaches.

SSI aims to contribute to overcoming fragmentation and over-specialization in current social-science research. Comprehensive and original contributions will tend to be of a tentative nature, trying out new avenues on terrains that are far from being well known. The journal welcomes trend reports on intellectually stimulating new developments to make them more widely known and to offer a space to assess their significance in answering key questions of scholarship in our time.

FRENCH

Information sur les Sciences Sociales est une revue scientifique de calibre international dont la vocation est de contribuer au contenu et à l'analyse des tendances, comme des approches, liées à la recherche contemporaine en sciences sociales.

Basée à la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, à Paris, la revue publie des articles en français et en anglais, offrant ainsi un espace bilingue à des contributions théoriques et/ou empiriques novatrices répondant à des questions qui, par définition, transcendent le cadre des disciplines traditionnelles. Compte tenu de cette orientation, les contributions de nature comparative ou interculturelle sont particulièrement bienvenues.

SSI est une revue à vocation interdisciplinaire, mais qui se nourrit de solides bases disciplinaires, comptant notamment sur l'anthropologie, la sociologie, l'histoire ou l'économie, et dans une certaine mesure la science politique, la philosophie et la psychologie pour offrir aux sciences sociales les moyens d'une cohésion. Des contributions en provenance de toutes ces disciplines sont recherchées, en particulier lorsqu'elles abordent des problèmes complexes et qu'elles s'attachent à l'analyse des principales transformations sociales actuelles comme d'ailleurs à la promotion d'approches conceptuelles novatrices.

SSI vise ainsi à surmonter la fragmentation et la surspécialisation dans la recherche scientifique contemporaine. Les contributions complètes et originales auront donc tendance à être de nature dynamique, expérimentant avec de nouvelles avenues, sur des terrains qui sont loin d'être entièrement stabilisés. La revue accueille ainsi les rapports de tendances sur les nouveaux développements intellectuellement stimulants, et ce, dans le but de les faire connaître plus largement, offrant alors un espace pour évaluer leur importance tout en tâchant de répondre aux questions clés de l'érudition dans notre époque.
