American sociological review, 02/2005, Volume: 70, Issue: 1Journal Article
Responding to the growing gap between the sociological ethos & the world we study, the challenge of public sociology is to engage multiple publics in multiple ways. These public sociologies should not be left out in the cold, but brought into the framework of our discipline. In this way we make public sociology a visible & legitimate enterprise, &, thereby, invigorate the discipline as a whole. Accordingly, if we map out the division of sociological labor we discover antagonistic interdependence among four types of knowledge: professional, critical, policy, & public. In the best of all worlds the flourishing of each type of sociology is a condition for the flourishing of all, but they can just as easily assume pathological forms or become victims of exclusion & subordination. This field of power beckons us to explore the relations among the four types of sociology as they vary historically & nationally, & as they provide the template for divergent individual careers. Finally, comparing disciplines points to the umbilical chord that connects sociology to the world of publics, underlining sociology's particular investment in the defense of civil society, itself beleaguered by the encroachment of markets & states. 3 Tables, 92 References.
