La tesis plantea, como objeto de estudio, la biografía intelectual de José Medina Echavarría. El objetivo principal es analizar e interpretar desde el método biográfico el papel histórico y la repercusión actual en la sociología en lengua castellana de la obra y figura de este clásico de la disciplina. La investigación, de esta manera, navega en todo un maremágnum de historia, sociología y vida que encierra la trayectoria de uno de los intelectuales hispanoamericanos más importantes del siglo XX. El trabajo está dividido en seis grandes partes. En el capítulo introductorio se presenta un trazo general de las perspectivas teórico-metodológicas desde la que se analiza y se reconstruye el itinerario intelectual de Medina Echavarría. En la primera parte de la biografía se argumenta la adquisición del enfoque sociológico de este autor a partir de su formación en los centros de conocimiento europeos y en la España anterior a la Guerra Civil. En la segunda parte se examina su labor en la institucionalización de la sociología en México, se analizan sus planteamientos sobre el papel de la teoría y la construcción conceptual de la sociología y se estudian sus argumentos de la sociología como ciencia social concreta que desarrolló durante su estancia en Puerto Rico. En la tercera parte de la biografía se analiza la significación de Medina Echavarría para la renovación de la sociología científica en América Latina como también se destaca su labor a la hora de insertar la sociología en los estudios del desarrollo económico desde organismos internacionales como la CEPAL o el ILPES. Asimismo, se examina aquí su modelo teórico, fundamentado en la comprensión de la realidad histórica y social latinoamericana junto a la necesidad de incorporar la planificación democrática. En la cuarta parte se destacan sus últimas aportaciones en defensa de la democracia en años difíciles para los regímenes democráticos. Por último, se cierra el trabajo de investigación con unas conclusiones en las que se constatan la pertinencia democrática y la actualidad de sus reflexiones teóricas.
The essays included in this volume provide both an assessment of key areas and current trends in sociology, specifically with regard to contemporary sociology in Latin America, as well as a collection of innovative empirical studies. The volume serves as an effective bridge of communication allowing sociological academies to mobilize and disseminate research dynamics from Latin America to the rest of the world.
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.
For decades F. H. Cardoso has been among the most influential of Latin American scholars, his writings on globalization, dependency, and politics having reached a world-wide audience. This book, the third by Cardoso to appear in English, is the first to incorporate essays written during his tenure as president of Brazil. The transformation of Cardoso's economic and political approach is nowhere better documented than in this broad-ranging collection of writings that span Cardoso's early theoretical work through his pragmatic agenda for Brazil in a rapidly changing world economy. The book also traces the development of one of the world's leading intellectuals, who took theory into the arena of policy when he became head of state.
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 intervention and the democratic dream alive within an authoritarian context, and the role of academic and professional sociology since the return to democracy, which has been attentive to accompanying and interpreting the development of a changing Chilean society. Framed within the country's cultural, economic, historical, social and political experience, this overview of the debates, dissemination, networks, and educational programs associated with sociology, will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American studies and historical sociology.
