Abstract: Retomando os termos de uma aula inaugural dada pelo autor este texto destaca num primeiro passo três imperativos para toda a abordagem das sociedades africanas pelas ciências sociais: a de assumir o carácter de uma indagação permanente, a de optar por uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, e a de combinar o “olhar de dentro" com o “olhar de fora". Num segundo passo, salienta a necessidade de toda a investigação social em África ter em consideração de que se trata no continente, praticamente sem excepção de formações sociais territoriais inacabadas e em rápida recomposição.
Based on an opening conference given by the author, this text formulates in a first step three demands on all approaches of African societies undertaken by the social sciences: to internalise that social sciences are essentially about questions and much less about answers, to opt for a an interdisciplinary perspective, and to combine the "regard from within" with the "regard from the outside”. In a second step, it underlines the need for all social science research in Africa to take into account that, practically without exception, all countries on the continent have social formations which are defined by territory, are far from having achieved consolidation, and are characterised by processes of rapid recomposition.
Reprenant les termes d'une conférence inaugurale donée par l’auteur, ce texte formule dans un premier temps trois impératifs pour toute approche des sociétés africaines par la voie des sciences sociales: celui d’assumer le caractère d’un questionnement permanent, celui d'opter pour une perspective interdisciplinaire, et celui de combiner le "regard de dedans" avec le "regard de dehors". Dans un second temps, il souligne la nécessité pour toute recherché sociale en Afrique de tenir compte du fait que, pratiquement sans exception, les pays du continent sont constitués par des formations sociales territoriales inachevées et en recomposition rapide.
