History of Sociology in Chile
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rich and diverse tradition of social thought in Chile over the last century. The authors emphasize the close relationship between sociology and society, and address large issues such as the institutionalization of sociology in the face of an open modernization process following WWII, the key role played by Chile in the regionalization and internationalization of sociology and social sciences in Latin America from the late 1950s until the 1973 Coup d'état, and the radicalization of sociology and the boom of dependency theories during that time. The analysis extends to independent academic centers that kept sociological thought, social interv...

Sociology in Argentina
This Palgrave Pivot offers a comprehensive portrayal of the development of sociology in Argentina from the mid-1950s to the present day. This first long-term account in English maps the discipline’s troubled trajectory and its close relation to the broader (and turbulent) Argentinian political and economic context, and provides a dramatic exemplification of the politicization and polarization of an academic field and its consequences. Divided in seven chapters, this book examines the sharply different phases that the discipline went through: from the pioneering 1950s, in which sociology was presented as a “science”, to the activist revolt in the 1960s, led by the student movement, to t...
European and Latin American Social Scientists as Refugees, Émigrés and Return‐Migrants
During the 1930s, thousands of social scientists fled the Nazi regime or other totalitarian European regimes, mainly towards the Americas. The New School for Social Research (NSSR) in New York City and El Colegio de México (Colmex) in Mexico City both were built based on receiving exiled academics from Europe. Comparing the first twenty years of these organizations, this book offers a deeper understanding of the corresponding institutional contexts and impacts of emigrated, exiled and refugeed academics. It analyses the ambiguities of scientists’ situations between emigration, return‐migration and transnational life projects and examines the corresponding dynamics of application, adaptation or amalgamation of (travelling) theories and methods these academics brought. Despite its institutional focus, it also deals with the broader context of forced migration of intellectuals and scientists in the second half of the last century in Europe and Latin America. In so doing, the book invites a deeper understanding of the challenges of forced migration for scholars in the 21st century.
El hombre y la sociedad en la época de crisis
La amargura, las contradicciones y la desazón de la vida moderna recorren los grandes trazos de esta obra de Karl Mannheim (Budapest, 1893- Londres, 1947) que el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas edita en su colección dedicada a los clásicos del pensamiento social. Pues El hombre y la sociedad en la época de crisis es un libro muy significativo en el proyecto intelectual de este gran sociólogo húngaro al entrelazar sus propuestas anteriores sobre la sociología del conocimiento y su experiencia biográfica causada por el colapso de la República de Weimar, con algunos lineamientos que se encargará después de profundizar en su exilio en Inglaterra. La obra, dividida en tres gran...
Debates latino-americanos
Debates latino-americanos são, na verdade, dois livros. E ambos são essenciais. Na primeira parte, Maristella Svampa revisita de modo crítico temas fundantes do pensamento crítico latino-americano: o indianismo, o desenvolvimento, a dependência e o populismo. Este mergulho tem uma intenção política que se explicita na segunda parte: refletir sobre os dilemas do presente e, em particular, sobre os governos progressistas. [...] O leitor iniciante encontrará aqui não apenas a contextualização necessária ao pensamento social e econômico latino-americano mas também uma introdução aos principais debates desenvolvidos anteriormente por Svampa, em que se destaca sua crítica às for...
The Social Sciences in the Looking Glass
In recent years, social scientists have turned their critical lens on the historical roots and contours of their disciplines, including their politics and practices, epistemologies and methods, institutionalization and professionalization, national development and colonial expansion, globalization and local contestations, and public presence and role in society. The Social Sciences in the Looking Glass offers current social scientific perspectives on this reflexive moment. Examining sociology, anthropology, philosophy, political science, legal theory, and religious studies, the volume’s contributors outline the present transformations of the social sciences, explore their connections with ...
Líneas de fuga
El golpe de Estado de 1936 y la revocación del gobierno electo democráticamente buscaron excluir y marginar el pensamiento progresista y republicano que, tras la victoria franquista en la Guerra Civil, hubo de dispersarse expatriado por el mundo. Durante 40 años la dictadura se encargó de manipular y censurar la cultura que, desde el exilio, se seguía creando fuera de la península. La llegada de la democracia posibilitó numerosos intentos de atajar la limitación y el sesgo de conocimiento impuestos por el régimen. Sin embargo, otras prioridades políticas y la pervivencia, consciente o no, de estructuras de interpretación heredadas del franquismo han sido un obstáculo para la recuperación de una tradición cultural que, desarrollada en la diáspora, es a la vez propia y ajena.Líneas de fuga recorre críticamente las razones de ese largo desencuentro. Con el concurso de filósofos, historiadores, filólogos y críticos culturales,argumenta que encontrar otras formas de contar y pensar el legado cultural de nuestros exiliados republicanos es esencial para desentrañar la herencia que nos dejan y cómo, aún hoy, nos incumbe.
El origen de la distinción de rangos. Investigación sobre las circunstancias que dan lugar a la influencia y la autoridad en los distintos miembros de la sociedad
El origen de la distinción de rangos no es un estudio solo sobre clases sociales, sino sobre jerarquías, sobre las posiciones de autoridad y obediencia en las sociedades, un concepto más amplio que comprende también las relaciones de poder de los hombres sobre las mujeres, de los padres sobre los hijos, de los jefes sobre las tribus, de los señores sobre los siervos, de los soberanos sobre los vasallos. John Millar fue también pionero en la aplicación de una visión economicista a la evolución de las instituciones, escribiendo un libro clásico del que Werner Sombart decía que se trata de una de las mejores y más completas obras de Sociología.
