THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD AND NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR THE KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION

Abstract

Understanding that the analysis of the contemporary world is basic for the research in social and human sciences, in this article focus on some of its peculiarities taking as background the critique to the Modernity project, whose unfoldings we can sense in our time. The reflection concerning its science model, which for some people would be insolvent debtor, gives an opportunity for the discussion concerning other possibilities to scientific production - what I call not-modern sciences -, to know, the theoretical-methodological of the Cultural Studies, Feminists Studies and Foucaultian Studies.
