          Abstract

          O chamado "pensamento social" sempre ocupou lugar de relevo no quadro das ciências sociais tais como praticadas no Brasil. Recentemente, as pesquisas nesse campo têm buscado cada vez mais articular suas análises do ensaísmo nacional a preocupações teóricas mais gerais, referentes ao estatuto da modernidade em sociedades não-centrais. Este artigo parte dessa circunstância intelectual para buscar dois objetivos: a) justificar mais explicitamente a necessidade de diálogo entre pensamento brasileiro e teoria social, em especial à luz do pós-colonialismo e das críticas ao eurocentrismo da sociologia; b) explorar possíveis diálogos entre essas áreas tomando como objeto de análise alguns eixos analíticos comuns aos dois campos.

          La dénommée "pensée sociale" a toujours occupé une place de relief dans les sciences sociales telles que pratiquées au Brésil. Récemment, les recherches dans ce domaine ont tenté de plus en plus d'articuler leurs analyses de l'essayisme national avec les inquiétudes théoriques plus générales, liées au statut de la modernité dans des sociétés non-centrales. Cet article part de cette circonstance intellectuelle pour chercher deux objectifs: a) justifier de façon plus explicite le besoin de dialogue entre la pensée brésilienne et la théorie sociale, en particulier à la lumière du postcolonialisme et des critiques à l'eurocentrisme de la sociologie; b) explorer les dialogues possibles entre ces domaines ayant comme objet d'analyse certains axes analytiques qui leur sont communs.

          Translated abstract

          What we know as "social thought" has always played a central role in social sciences as it has been practiced in Brazil. Recent researches in this field have been trying to articulate its analysis of the essayist tradition to larger theoretical interests, concerning the status of modernity in non-central societies. This article departs from this intellectual situation in order to achieve two main goals: a) to justify the need for a dialogue between Brazilian thought and social theory, particularly based on postcolonial theories and criticism of Eurocentric tradition in sociology; b) to explore possible dialogues between these areas through an exam of analytical guidelines common to both fields of research.
