International audience ; This text has two goals. First, to rely on the work of Louis Quéré, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of the two dominant models of two dominant models: an epistemological model enrolling the theory of information and cybernetics in an instrumental aim; a political model that aims at inter-understanding at the service of self-determination of the citizens in the elaboration of norms that govern them. Moreover, we wish to add to this review, two models which go beyond the limits of the first two approaches: a praxeological model that relies on praxis as an organizing activity of shared perspectives; a model of incommunication that reverses the situation and makes the impossibility of achieving intercomprehension the norm. ; Ce texte vise deux objectifs. Tout d'abord, s'appuyer sur les travaux de Louis Quéré pour révéler les forces et les faiblesses des deux modèles dominants : un modèle épistémologique s'inscrivant dans le sillage de la théorie de l'information et de la cybernétique dans une visée instrumentale ; un modèle politique qui vise l'intercompréhension au service de l'autodétermination des citoyens dans l'élaboration des normes qui les gouvernent. Par ailleurs, nous souhaitons ajouter à cette revue deux modèles qui permettent de dépasser les limites des deux premières approches : un modèle praxéologique qui s'appuie sur la praxis comme activité organisante de perspectives partagées ; un modèle de l'incommunication qui fait de l'impossibilité d'aboutir à l'intercompréhension la norme des relations sociales.

General reflections on the challenges, opportunities, & tasks confronting the social sciences in the Third World are presented. In the 1960s & 1970s, the shortcomings of traditional, Europe-centered social science were increasingly recognized, especially its inadequacy for describing processes of change. Certain groups revived Marxist approaches, but the new generation of indigenous social scientists in Africa, Latin America, & Asia are faced with four progressively radical options: (1) adaptation of Western theories; (2) decolonization of the social sciences (eliminating traces of neocolonialism); & (3) indigenization, leading to (4) national & collective self-reliance. 16 References.

"The book is an explanation of society creating its evolving landscape utilising one place Alice Springs as a focused example over time, but of how the place developed through multiple resistances flowing back and forth from bottom up and top-down. From this theoretical/concrete background the book aims to look at how power operates over time to ensure that society is an ongoing concern, and the imagining of a power behind the scenes that saturates and drives the whole process. In essence, bringing one closer to the Truth of the matter. Following its colonial beginnings as a tentative toe hold within the Central Australian landscape to a fully developed representative of Western capitalism today, Alice Springs makes an ideal living laboratory of how contemporary society evolves and is. The presence of this laboratory of life is too good a reason not to address the meaning that is the Archive of Life"--
