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...
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.

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...

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...
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 ...

Los Gaos. El sueño republicano
En un hotel de Vernet les Bains, en los Pirineos orientales franceses, la noche del 10 de octubre de 1939 fallece por causas poco claras José Gaos Berea, padre de los hermanos Gaos, notario y librepensador, que era, según Max Aub, «el auténtico genio de la familia». Había llegado hasta allí como refugiado político huyendo de la represión franquista. Así arranca una apasionante investigación sobre los Gaos, una familia de la burguesía ilustrada, plenamente identificada con los ideales republicanos, que padeció de forma implacable la fractura que causó la Guerra Civil en Valencia. No es corriente que en un mismo grupo familiar coincidan nueve hermanos (José, Carlos, María, Alej...
