Cet article veut examiner le processus par lequel deux chercheures, situees a des endroits tres differents, analysent les donnees d'une etude qu'elles ont menee ensemble. A partir d'un projet de recherche narrative dans un groupe de collaboration, soutenus par un groupe central du programme d'etudes superieures en etudes de la condition feminine a l'Universite d'Indonesie (programme Kajian Wanita), les roles de la chercheure canadienne et de la chercheure indonesienne etaient d'une importance cruciale a la fois dans la conceptualisation et dans 1'analyse des donnees. Les auteures explorent ici quelques-unes des facons par lesquelles leur position differente influe a la fois sur leur relation en tant que chercheures et sur leur analyse des donnees. This paper is an attempt to examine the process whereby two researchers, situated very differently, analysed the data arising from a jointly conducted study. The roles of the Canadian and the Indonesian researcher were crucially important in both framing and analysing the data arising from a collaborative group narrative research project, carried out with a core group in the graduate program in Women's Studies at the University of Indonesia (Program Studi Kajian Wanita). In this paper we explore some of the ways in which our different positioning affected both our relationship as researchers and our analyses of the data., THIS PAPER IS AN ATTEMPT TO EXAMINE THE PROCESS whereby two researchers working from very different 'positions' analysed the data arising from a jointly conducted study. One of the researchers [...]

The Women's Studies Programme at the University of Indonesia was created following a four year collaboration between Canada's Memorial University and the University of Indonesia. The linkage project is described in detail, concluding that although the project was a success, work still needs to be done to ensure that 'western' feminism does not dominate in its Indonesian context.

This article is an attempt to return to the roots of sociology as a discipline and make the argument that these roots are 'radical.' After comparing the rather different trajectories of sociology in England and Canada, the author proceeds to examine the state of sociology in Canada in the 1990s. The intervention of feminism, and in particular feminist sociologists, has been crucial, and is in some ways analogous to the intervention of Marxism at an earlier period. Dire economic straits and the rise of the Right present sociology with new dangers in the 1990s, however. The author concludes that postmodernism constitutes a retreat, rather than an advance, and that we must look elsewhere if we are to retain and develop the potential of a 'radical' sociology., In this paper I want to address a theoretical and a political problem. The theoretical issue is whether sociology as a discipline is inherently 'radical' - whatever that may mean. [...]

For the time being the constitutional debate is over. In this paper, the author uses the respite to reflect on certain aspects of the debate in light of recent developments in postmodern thought. In doing so, two key concepts used in discussions about the nature of Canada - those of 'language' and of 'nation' are analyzed. In the course of the paper, postmodernism's possible contribution is evaluated and found wanting.
