About the work

Post-Modernism and the Social Sciences (ISBN 9780691023472) by Pauline Vaillancourt Rosenau is a seminal examination of how postmodern thought reframes inquiry, knowledge production, and methodological assumptions across the social sciences. The work interrogates the limits of grand theories and invites a plural, reflexive approach to research practice within diverse disciplines.

Summary

The book analyzes how postmodern perspectives unsettle conventional notions of truth, objectivity, and the role of the researcher, advocating for multiple viewpoints and contingent interpretations. It explores the implications of discourse, power, and representation for social inquiry, and offers a framework for integrating qualitative and quantitative methods while remaining attentive to context, legitimacy, and audience. Through theory-driven critique and practical considerations, it guides scholars in rethinking research design, ethics, and policy relevance in a postmodern landscape.

About the author

Pauline Vaillancourt Rosenau (1936–2003) was a respected scholar in political science and sociology, notable for her incisive critique of modernist assumptions and her pioneering work on governance, globalization, and social theory. Her interdisciplinary voice bridged empirical analysis with philosophical reflection, shaping how researchers imagine method, authority, and change in the late 20th century.

In brief

The book challenges researchers to embrace plurality, reflexivity, and situated knowledge, offering a robust roadmap for conducting socially relevant inquiry in a postmodern era.
