Resumo

O artigo introduz o tema das crises na sociologia e apresenta o dossiê “Metamorfoses da Sociologia em Tempos de Crise”. Para tanto oferece uma breve revisão da literatura sobre crises na sociologia, destacando a importância da discussão conceitual, das relações entre crises no âmbito da sociedade e no plano do conhecimento, bem como de temas presentes nos diagnósticos de crise contemporâneos. Discute-se como alguns temas são recorrentes, aparecendo em contextos distintos, o que pode caracterizar diferenças mais duradouras no autoentendimento dos sociólogos sobre a própria disciplina. Ao mesmo tempo, o artigo destaca algumas novidades do debate contemporâneo, em especial, a polêmica em torno da existência e definição de um “cânone” sociológico e a emergência da ecologia como um tema importante, articulado com transformações na percepção social das crises e problemas. Os artigos que compõem o dossiê são apresentados ao longo do texto em articulação com a literatura mais ampla.
