CAMPOS, Luiz Augusto; SANTOS, Marcelo Augusto de Paiva dos; JURUA, Mayra y CANDIDO, Marcia Rangel. THE RESEARCH AGENDA OF BRAZILIAN SOCIOLOGY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MILLENNIUM. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2023, vol.53, e09904. Epub 02-Nov-2023. ISSN 1980-5314. https://doi.org/10.1590/198053149904.
Many works have sought to define the research agenda of Brazilian sociology, its temporal evolution, and other internal and external dynamics. However, the methods employed in the thematic classification of the discipline are still rudimentary. To adress this issue, this article applied text processing techniques, particularly Topic Modelling, to analyze over 3 thousand doctoral theses published at the beginning of the millennium. The results indicate that our “new” sociology is characterized by a relative decline in the importance of traditional themes, such as studies on labor, in favor of more diverse topics, such as violence and gender. These transformations seem to reflect guidelines from funding agencies and changes in public debate, posing new challenges on the horizon of the discipline.
