Coproducción e intelecto colectivo
Esta obra está dirigida a comprender realidades al límite: fabriles, barriales y académicas bajo la perspectiva teórica de procesos sociales de trabajo, a través de la metodología de coproducción investigativa y una praxis de giro epistémico en el marco del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano. Sus capítulos abarcan temáticas acerca del intelecto colectivo, la autogestión fabril, historias co-narradas en núcleos urbanos segregados, como, especularmente, interrogaciones en el campo universitario. En su prólogo, Ricardo Antunes destaca que los autores, en sus reflexiones, enfrentan tanto los temas de fronteras científicas como el intelecto social, las articulaciones complejas y contradictorias entre ciencia y producción, hasta temáticas de base, encubiertas e invisibles. Este ensayo es producto de extendidos desarrollos investigativos en equipo llevados adelante con sede en el Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.
Decolonizing Democracy from Western Cognitive Imperialism
There seems to be a sort of prevalent attitude in the Western world that its brand of democracy is something of a catch all solution for all the world's political problems. Hence, Western imperialism has always been sold under the pretext of spreading freedom and democracy. Democracy is beautiful. But it is no proof against imperialism. Whether democracy is causal is another whole consideration. It may be a case of the 'least bad of evil alternatives.' It may be a case of a state of social and political development over and above the way people organize themselves. It may be the fate of rational life on a planet with insufficient energy reserves to support locomotion without predation. But what gives anyone the right to go into a sovereign country and change its foundation through War? The whole democracy & freedom line is a lie to give Western imperialism a friendly face. Imperialism and its lie of spreading democracy is an unmitigated evil, whether for material gain, or the pride fostered by active participation in the machinery of state. Therefore, a people seeking to control their destiny must decolonize imposed Western democracy.
Latin American Critical Thought. Theory and Practice
The resurgence of LATin AmericAn criTicAL thought in the late 1990s and the early twenty-first century has brought about some discoveries that distinguish it from the sociological production of the world. it is a scientific framework that has taken on the features of a new social scientific paradigm. A growing number of authors have aligned themselves with this perspective, with visions that include critical read- ings geared to contributing to transformative social change, in a Latin American context. Thus, we ask ourselves: What are the characteristics that distinguish Latin American critical thought and give it its identity? What are its germinal features and what are its unresolved matters? A distinguishing feature of this thought is its belonging to social sciences, particularly sociology and its traditions of critical theory, whose roots, as gramsci said, do not come from fundamentalist op- position but rather from the acquisition of scientific certainty on the basis of critical analysis (...)

Cooperación transfronteriza
El mundo del trabajo ha sufrido profundas transformaciones a partir de la aplicación de políticas neoliberales. En este libro se da cuenta de un espectro que, a modo de holograma, refleja dichas mutaciones. Se investiga así la nueva realidad a partir de diferentes miradas teóricas y epistemológicas, utilizando diversos planos de observación e interrogando el entretejido de condiciones de vida, trabajo y organización social en espacios que, a primera vista, se presentan contrapuestos, como el de los trabajadores formales de empresas industriales, los empleados estatales, los informales y cartoneros, las formas de exclusión y marginación social en barrios populares del conurbano bonaerense, y el trabajo en las instituciones hospitalarias. Trabajadores "entre el ser y el saber" connotan en este ensayo la tensión que recorre la trascendencia e inmanencia social de su protagonismo.
Mapping Out the Research-policy Matrix
Social science research provides not only abstract, conceptual knowledge about society but also concrete, instrumental knowledge. It enables us to take action to recompose the world we live in. However, this book rejects narrow and simplistic conceptions of research use and its impact on policy-making, to embrace a more complex approach to seeing and dealing with social science. In the paradigm of "evidence-based policy", "evidence" is understood in its broad sense as information that helps form policies. Nonetheless, within current practices and discourse, it is not clear what "information" is, what is really meant by "evidence", and how it can be obtained objectively. The book draws on pap...
Encrucijadas Abiertas
Este segundo tomo de los Ex-Presidentes de la Asociación Latinoamericana de Sociología ve su aparición por bienvenida decisión de este colectivo intelectual de dar continuidad con sus expresiones científicas al pensamiento latinoamericano entrañado en su contexto histórico y contemporáneo. A ellos deben los lectores esta polifonía que propicia una ciencia social rigurosa con alto compromiso social. Decía Galeano que "el desarrollo es un viaje con más náufragos que navegantes." Esa preocupación de Galeano atraviesa la sociología latinoamericana, y de cierta manera, atraviesa este libro. Con una diversidad temática inmensa, en el fondo todos los ensayos de este libro muestran in...
