Résumé En s'intéressant au cas de la littérature produite en Suisse romande, plus spécifiquement au contexte institutionnel dans lequel elle s'inscrit, et aux retombées que celles-ci ont dans la réception des textes, cet article développe l'idée selon laquelle l'étude des œuvres romandes est indissociable d'une réflexion préalable fondée notamment sur la sociologie de la littérature. Lorsqu'on se trouve en présence de « littératures périphériques », l'approche sociologique s'avère aussi être un outil d'analyse particulièrement efficace, permettant par ailleurs au chercheur de se situer clairement par rapport à son objet d'étude.

Analysis of (1) data on publishing performance by individuals & institutions, covering 1977-1987, & (2) citations to articles published in the Social Science Quarterly (SSQ) 1977-1979 suggests that SSQ is a highly interdisciplinary, broadly based journal of high quality & national scope. Most contributions are from research schools, though smaller, less research-oriented schools are also well represented. Articles are generally well read & cited, & citing journals are themselves of generally high quality & from several related disciplines. 7 Tables, 9 References. Adapted from the source document.

Cultural, institutional, & professional factors have inhibited the development of social sciences in Japan. Natural sciences, while variously affected by these same factors, have, however, consistently made rapid progress. This differential development is due to the absence (for social science) or acute presence (for natural science) of societal need & official emphasis. 30 References. HA

Ghanem reviews 'Tuning In To Young Viewers: Social Science Perspectives on Television' edited by Tannis M. MacBeth.

Application of social scientific methods and approaches to the study of history has always been the subject of considerable and often acrimonious debate. In recent years, however, the terms of the debate have taken a somewhat different and, to some of us, surprising turn. Notes of pessimism and defensiveness have entered the arguments of practitioners; some feel the need to repeat the once useful polemics of twenty odd years ago; and there is talk of the intrinsic limitations of the general enterprise. At the same time, the traditionalist camp announces with a measure of glee that the tides of social scientific history are on the wane.
