Beyond hegemonic thoughts, post-Western sociology enables a new dialogue between East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) and Europe on common and local knowledge to consider theoretical continuities and discontinuities, to develop transnational methodological spaces, and co-produce creolized concepts. With this new paradigm in social sciences we introduce the multiplication of epistemic autonomies vis-Ã -vis Western hegemony and new theoretical assemblages between East Asian and European sociologies. From this ecology of knowledge this groundbreaking contribution is to coproduce a post-Western space in a cross-pollination process where âWesternâ and ânon-Westernâ knowledge do interact, articulated through cosmovisions, as well as to coproduce transnational fieldwork practices.
