Sociedad y conocimiento

La cuestión de la naturaleza del espacio y el tiempo ha sido uno de los núcleos fundamentales de reflexión del pensamiento francés contemporáneo. En el mundo de la sociología, esta reflexión ha constituido una piedra angular, pues de su caracterización ha dependido todo el entramado teórico que, después, ha pretendido dar luz acerca de cuestiones tan trascendentales como la identidad colectiva o la percepción de los procesos sociales. Émile Durkheim y Marcel Mauss concibieron el espacio y el tiempo como representaciones colectivas elaboradas socialmente y transmitidas a través de ...

In this historical study, Lara Medina examines the early development and continuing influence of Las Hermanas, a feminist organization established in 1971 to counter the patriarchy and Eurocentrism of the U.S. Catholic Church. Medina weaves archival research and oral interviews into a cohesive narrative that highlights the keen ethnic and political awareness among the movement's leaders and participants.
