Özet
The methods that built modern social science were forged for a world that no longer exists. The methodological repertoire inherited from twentieth-century social science is insufficient for the polycrisis condition under which contemporary global challenges unfold. Phenomena such as climate breakdown, human displacement, pandemics, and platform labour resist stable delimitation, linear causation, and detached observation. Drawing on relational sociology, critical realism, and decolonial scholarship, this chapter develops a framework organised around relational ontology, multilayered design, abductive inference, reflexive and empathic practice, and participatory engagement. It proposes an ecology of methods in place of a new orthodoxy, situating methodological choices within configurations of power, scale, and temporality and offering a programmatic basis for the contributions that follow.
