Ideas sobre reflexividad en las Ciencias Sociales Latinoamericanas

In the discussions on modernity, the idea of reflexivity is central, but the study of reflexivity of the cognitive and hermeneutical type over that of aesthetic reflexivity, which would virtually leave out of the social analysis, the conceptual and mimetic symbols that are transmitted by the communication and information networks and that usually shake capitalism. It is proposed to discuss that, analyzing the writing of different social scientists from Latin America, from the types of reflexivity and application of an analytical model that also would be putting together a body of knowledge in the social sciences developed in our American production.En las discusiones sobre modernidad es central la idea de reflexividad, sin embargo, prima el estudio de la reflexividad de tipo cognitiva y hermenéutica por sobre el de la reflexividad estética, lo que virtualmente dejaría fuera del análisis social los símbolos conceptuales y miméticos que son transmitidos por las redes de comunicación e información y que habitualmente abalan el capitalismo. Se propone discutir aquello, analizando la producción escrita de diferentes cientistas sociales latinoamericanos, a partir de los tipos de reflexividad y de la aplicación de un modelo analítico que permitiría, además, ir armando un corpus de conocimientos de las ciencias sociales elaborados en nuestra América.
