The question of the relationship between philosophy and social sciences in the agenda. Just to be convinced to consider the publications who devote a thematic issue. The number-off series of the Journal Traces of 2013, but also the latest issue of the journal Archives of Philosophy, not to mention books that make their specific object, including that of Bruno Karsenti, one philosophy to another. Adapted from the source document.

Ce texte présente des entretiens réalisés avec deux figures emblématiques des liens entre recherche en sciences sociales et politiques culturelles : Augustin Girard, directeur du Service de la recherche du ministère de la culture, et Joffre Dumazedier, sociologue du développement culturel. Tous deux reviennent sur leur vision de la recherche et de la culture, sur l'histoire dont ils ont été à la fois acteurs et témoins, sur l'importance de la place des sciences sociales dans l'orientation des politiques culturelles. Ces entretiens éclairent ainsi à la fois tout un pan de l'histoire des politiques culturelles en France et constituent plus généralement des témoignages utiles pour l'analyse des rapports entre sciences sociales et action publique. (avec D. Georgakakis)

In India the soc sci press is a product of, & its contributors are primarily members of, the academic community. Apart from its cognitive purpose, the soc sci press enables members of the academic community to further their own interests in terms of promotion through publication. Further the press, which reflects the characteristics of the educated elite in India, tends to adopt a passive attitude to various soc & pol'al issues. The press is mostly owned by the learned societies, U's, faculties, educ'al instit's, etc. Information is presented on editorial arrangements, staff, responsibility for content, & publication & finance. A content analysis of 17 journals for the yr 1964 indicates that the trend of the journals is to publish all kinds of articles, but theoretical articles are in the majority, followed by retrospective coverage articles. Space allocation & internat'l scope are indicated. Re readership & circulation 9 journals reported that they are directed at an academic & professional group of readers, one only at an academic group of readers, 2 only at a professional group of readers, one at an academic & general public, & 4 at all groups of readers. COMM is thus confined to an educated elite & its purpose is mainly cognitive, educ'al, & designed to promote the development & progress of the academic community. E. Weiman.

The org'al structure of the soc sci's in Poland is sketched in order to understand the functioning of periodicals in sci'fic life. The divisions among diff instit's & org'al sections shape the character & functions of soc sci periodicals. Those published by the U's & the Polish Academy of Sci's are of an academic character. Periodicals issued by ministerial instit's which are subordinate to central instit's deal rather with practical problems & applied res. The periodicals of sci'fic assoc's deal more with regional problems. The 90 periodicals & serial publications are divided into the following groups: (1) nonperiodical serial publications issued regularly as a collection of studies & papers; (2) information bulletins presenting the res of a given instit; & (3) bimonthlies, quarterlies & semi-annuals of a purely sci'fic or theoretical character, published by higher educ'al instit's or by the Polish Academy of Sci's. The questionaire used for the inquiry was addressed to 60 editorial offices (34 replies). The org of the editorial office is discussed. The editorial staff of most of the periodicals consists of a small group of professors or sci'ta who, apart from these editorial functions also hold other positions in sci'fic instit's. Nearly all the periodicals considered are published with the assistance of gov funds. Contents & allocation of space are discussed. These periodicals are found to be devoted to the promotion of the development of sci, & to information purposes. Relatively little space is given to debate & discussion. E. Weiman.

Childhoods in context offers a critical exploration of childhood, drawing attention to the physical and social context of children and young people's lives. Three key themes are explored: Childhood is always located somewhere. The book offers insights into childhood by focusing on places specially designed for children as well as the territories that children develop for themselves. Childhood is experienced through objects, people and places and through everyday routines. Discussions about childhood are rooted in the details of children's lives, whether on the street, in an institution or in different definitions of home. Childhood and adult identities are relational. Definitions and understandings of childhood are dependent on how adulthood is viewed. These themes are explored through accounts of home and family, school, public spaces and sites of work in local and global settings. They raise questions about methodological approaches to understanding childhoods in context which is the focus of the concluding chapter. This is the third in a series of four books, written by experts in the field, which provides an introduction to childhood degree programmes and related modules. The series features international case studies, examples and readings to supplement the chapters, and is illustrated in full colour

The paper provides an overview of the evolution of Social Sciences with a focus on the Post-1945 period, known for major strides towards scientific, analytical, nonpartisan, multi-disciplinary and comprehensive study and research in different fields of Social Sciences. The paper discusses the gradual growth of Social Sciences in Pakistan in terms of increase in number of persons engaged in teaching, research and practice in various domains of Social Sciences, institutional facilities and availability of funds. There is a discussion of the major features of the research work done in Social Sciences in Pakistan and its weaknesses and deficiencies. The paper argues that Social Sciences have become important for societies like Pakistan that face different types of social and political conflicts. The rise of religious extremism, violence and terrorism also requires that we benefit from the work done in different fields of Social Sciences for understanding the dynamics of societal trends, issues and conflict and how to address them. The paper also reviews teaching and research being done in Pakistani universities, especially since 2005, when more funds became available for study and research in Social Sciences. The universities have vastly expanded their Doctoral and M.Phil. porgrammes but the imperative of quality is often neglected.
