Ellos han sido repensados y propuestos a partir del esfuerzo conjunto de seis investigadores especializados en múltiples disciplinas, tales como la metodología de las ciencias sociales, la filosofía, las ciencias políticas, la antropología social, la etnohistoria y la sociología de los procesos culturales.
