Généalogies de la sociologie en Inde - pratiques D

Valerian Rodrigues would like to posit Ambedkar as one logothete of social science in India, and I like to explore the hypothesis - following his remarkable career in constitutional enunciation and in shaping enunciative positions for the 'depressed classes' in the 'battleground' for rights and against privilege.
Yet Ambedkar's sculpting of the enunciative field appears as the counter-enunciative engagement, with all rhetorical know-how (both barrister speak and erudite in disputation culture, of both US-UK training and possibly Indian disputing traditions, including Buddhist), of prior Census reports, Legislative debates, statutory commissions, etc. On colonial government administrative texts and the growing corpus of organized Indian responses to them.

V. Rodrigues on Ambedkar, chapter on his categorization of Methodology (after 1st chapter on 'Concepts') : 'For Ambedkar, a study dealt with categories and concepts: their formulation, change, displacement and reformulation.' VR has two texts in this section, aimed at exemplifying exegesis / basis on studies engaged with similar phenomena, extension of plausibility.

Certainement, armes rhétoriques du combat politique, combat d'argument ('reasonable', distinctions, savoirs). Qui est aussi un combat de positionnement énonciatif et de 'consciousness', caste & class.
