2. INTRODUCTION
The main statement that is clearly stated by the author
in this article is that the infertility of social science in
dissecting and unraveling the contours of Indonesian
social change is closely related to its capture at the
level of assumptions, theories, and methodologies.

3. INTRODUCTION
In simple terms it can be interpreted that so far the development
of Indonesian social science has been strongly influenced by the
ideas of old European experts such as Hegel, Nietzsche,
Durkheim, Marx, and Weber. Where their thoughts were born
from terrible social change in Europe in the past.
So that the assumptions, theories, and methodologies that are
carried through their thoughts have also completely influenced
the development of social science in Indonesia.

4. Imported Knowledge in Social Sciences
There are many things that have developed from social science.
Starting from the theory, method, approaches, strategic, until the
investigation techniques. Not only that, social science is also
decorated with a variety of paradigms that can support one
another or even conflict.
Some of them are paradigms in the development of social
science such as positivism, post-positivism, structuralism, post-
structuralism, functionalism, pluralism, symbolic interactionism,
conflict and others.

5. Imported Knowledge in Social Sciences
this paper does not actually follow the mapping of
social science ideas based on the paradigmatic
grouping. But making a mapping of the flow of thought
(genre) based on their perspective on social change.
This mapping will also look at the methodological
implications of each of these thought groups.

6. Constructivism
This genre is built by two traditions of thought which are often
seen as two competing, conflicting, and even fighting things. The
first tradition, rooted in the Durkheimian and Weberian
traditions, was the inspiration for the development of structural
functional theories from the beginning to the corrective versions
as developed by Niklas Luhmann and later generations.

7. Reconstructivism
This genre sees that modern society is a metamorphosis of
traditional societies experiencing rationalization. But there is a
disappointing picture of modernity as a product of enlightenment.
Adorno and Hokheimer, influenced by the Kartesian philosophical
tradition and also Marx's sociological thought, saw the modern
world as the irony of dehumanization colored by the increasingly
distance between "progress" with justice, equality, happiness, and
democracy.

8. Deconstructivism
This genre sees that enlightenment has delivered traditional society to the world of
modern life. However, modern life is marked by the birth of a disparity that cannot be
tolerated. In this context, post-modern society is an entirely different outcome from
modern society. There are two traditions that build this genre. First is the tradition of
post-modern thought (post-modern). This tradition was developed by mainly
Baudrillard, Lyotard, Derrida and others. The second tradition devotes more attention
to the significance of representation.
The non-positivistic qualitative method here really sees the method as inseparable
from the theory. For example, semiotics that link signifier, signified and referent in
explaining a phenomenon or social reality, can be seen as a theory, but at the same
time it is also a method.

9. Conclusion
Various perspectives and genres in social science have placed people in different
perspectives. Critical theory (reconstructivism) for example sees social reality as
an alienated form of consciousness that is reproduced by social institutions.
Functionalism (constructivism) puts society as a social system with various parts
that are functionally integrated with each other. The theory of postmodernism
(deconstructivism) sees social reality as a linguistic construction. Meanwhile,
the post-societal perspective sees social reality as a variety of mobility? The
various perspectives above are implicative in their respective methodological
formats, which are usually consistent with strict demarcation.
