Convergent futures
The present article traces the mastering of time as a demand for controlling the future within the onset of social thought, addressing the treatment of time by modern institutions to demonstrate the future-making process they deploy. Based on the former, it explores the acceleration theorizing as a milestone example of time mastery, along with the seemingly contrary claims of deceleration. The article asserts that, despite their apparent differen…
Teoría Social Hoy. Una Conversación con Hartmut Rosa
Andreas Reckwitz and you share the motivation of consolidating a theory of society, and with it a theory of Modernity, as the central task of sociology (Reckwitz & Rosa, 2021).The public interest in a theory of this type, in all-encompassing analyses and interpretations of the societies of the present, as well as in the 'longue durée' of socio-historical processes, has intensified in the world over the past decade.Why do you think that the intere…
Teorizando la aceleración social. Crítica para la sociedad actual
El presente escrito busca exponer los antecedentes, planteamientos y críticas centrales de la tesis de la aceleración social. Se propone que los aspectos fundamentales de esta teorización sobre el tiempo social corresponden a un modelo de especial interés para el mundo contemporáneo dada su capacidad de articular teoría y empírea. Se postula que esta articulación representa un eje de especial interés para la teoría crítica actual
Slowing Down Society? Theoretical Reflections on Social Deceleration in Pandemic Times (and Beyond)
The COVID -19 pandemic has caused a major change in everyday life and also reinvigorated the theoretical and political discussion on the temporal rhythms of social existence. Taking the situation of the coronavirus crisis as a starting point, the present paper attempts to provide the outlines of a theoretical account of social deceleration, a topic that has been hitherto barely explored in the field of social studies of time. In view of the compl…
Temporal Regimes
Temporal Regimes provides a theoretical framework for understanding the temporal structures of society; a conceptually rich, empirically nuanced and culturally embodied account of temporal phenomena in contemporary world. What does it imply temporal regimes? How the everyday life as well as the global mobilities coordination requires temporal underpinnings? The answers to these questions mean more than simply understanding the general thesis on a…
Traducir "Beschleunigung" en tiempos de aceleración
In 1936 Walter Benjamin, referring to the fortuitous case of finding a French translation of Nietzsche in Paris, noted: "But what puzzled me about those passages that were familiar to me, however, was not the deficiency of their translation, but something that might even have a certain merit: both the horizon and the world around the translated text had been replaced, had become French" (Benjamin 2019: 15). This excerpt shows a fundamental issue …
Tiempos críticos. Crisis y políticas de la aceleración
We live in times of crisis. The disruptive consequences of the 2008 financial meltdown were soon compounded in the following years by a series of political events that challenged central elements of the institutional order established in the previous decades. From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, from the "June Days'' in Brazil to the "yellow jackets" in France, from Brexit to the elections of Trump and Bolsonaro, from the protests in Hong …
Covid-19
Esta sección abre un espacio para la reflexión en torno a diversos puntos de las crisis globales y locales que nos afectan en el contexto de esta pandemia. A continuación, presentamos un grupo de textos breves abordando diferentes escenarios sociales durante y después del impacto global del Covid-19
Seguridad alimentaria y sus desequilibrios regionales en México
El presente trabajo busca analizar las dimensiones regionales de la seguridad alimentaria y sus desequilibrios territoriales en México. Mediante la aplicación del método de componentes principales, se elaboró un índice a nivel municipal y regional que, además de combinar información de variables diversas que se concentran en una medida única, sintetiza numéricamente tres de las cuatro dimensiones con que se mide la problemática: acceso, disponibi…
Acceleration, Alienation, and Resonance. Reconstructing Hartmut Rosa’s Theory of Modernity
The article presents in an interpretative and critical way the main theses structuring the work of Hartmut Rosa, namely: his theory of modern acceleration; his observations on the types of alienation that arise with it; and the forms of overcoming a state of alienation both within social life and in terms of the relationship nature-humanity, under the concept of resonance. Issues such as modern temporal structures (acceleration), the lack of sync…
Aproximaciones al conocimiento de lo social
Is there a distinction between social theory and sociology? Perhaps one of the most general features in sociological thinking is that it is an inquiry to develop holistic explanations for social reality. In this sense, there is a kind of universality of social knowledge in its scientific and philosophical dimensions, and is one of its main purposes for the operation of sociology as a "science of modernity". Next, I will develop a brief reconstruc…
A secular acceleration
The term "shortening of time" is related to the Judeo-Christian tradition that announces the end of time as the moment when God, for the sake of the elect, shortens the duration of days and hours, because without this shortening no one would survive (This means that only a God's will could ended Time. The Christian perspective believes that the last days will be chaotic, and God will preclude History, ending time, to save a few men of goodwill.).…
Razón y revolución en Kant y Hegel. Una mirada a la justificación del Estado
La constatación de un hecho que resulta inaceptable ¿es condición suficiente para una acción violenta contra la autoridad? ¿Qué respuestas –o nuevas preguntas– podría entregarnos una filosofía? Para abordar estas interrogantes recurriremos a dos filósofos que se han pronunciado sobre este tema de maneras diferentes: Immanuel Kant y G. W. F. Hegel. Proponemos adentrarnos en algunas de las obras ‘políticas’ de ambos autores, con el objeto de realiz…
