| Summary: | This article brings into focus the question of alternative discourses in the
social sciences. Alternative discourses are works that attempt to debunk ideas
that have become entrenched in the social sciences, partly as a result of colonialism
and the continuing Eurocentrism in the social sciences. In the context
of Southeast Asia as well as much of the non-Western world, alternative discourses
in the social sciences could also be referred to collectively as counter-
Eurocentric social science. This paper discusses the emergence of alternative
discourses in Southeast Asia, the defintion of alternative discourse, and the
future of these discourses in our region |
