I10-R10-article-347522022-07-25T16:26:56Z The Assistance-Dependent Class: from Exclusion to Inclusion in World Society La clase dependiente de la asistencia: de la exclusión a la inclusión en la sociedad mundial Torres, Esteban Social Classes World Society Latin America Capitalist Systems States Social Welfare clases sociales sociedad mundial América Latina sistemas capitalistas estados asistencia social In the article I start from the assumption that we are not currently undergoing a systemic crisis of capitalism but a scenario of novel restructurings, driven by new forces of social integration. At the heart of the present capitalist regeneration of world society is a new structure of molecular social classes (or classes of individuals), embedded in a less dynamic structure of organic social classes (or classes of countries). At the beginning of the paper, I advance the theoretical development of molecular social classes by recognising four related types: the profit-dependent class, the labour-dependent class, the crime-dependent class, and the assistance-dependent class (ADC). Following this conceptual approach, I concentrate on the sociological analysis of the assistance-dependent class in Latin America. I distinguish between a subclass dependent on state assistance and a subclass dependent on private migrant assistance. According to my estimates, the ADC is the fastest growing social class in world society as a whole. En el artículo asumo que en la actualidad no estamos atravesando una crisis sistémica del capitalismo sino un escenario de reestructuraciones novedosas, impulsado por nuevas fuerzas de integración social. El núcleo central de la presente regeneración capitalista de la sociedad mundial es una nueva estructura de clases sociales moleculares (o clases de individuos), incrustada en una estructura menos dinámica de clases sociales orgánicas (o clases de países). Al inicio del texto avanzo en el desarrollo teórico de las clases sociales moleculares a partir de reconocer cuatro tipos relacionados: la clase dependiente del beneficio, la clase dependiente del trabajo, la clase dependiente del delito y la clase dependiente de la asistencia. Luego de esta aproximación conceptual me concentro en el análisis sociológico de la clase dependiente de la asistencia (CDA) en América Latina. Allí distingo entre una subclase dependiente de la asistencia estatal y otra dependiente de la asistencia privada migrante. Según mis estimaciones, la CDA es la clase social que se viene expandiendo a mayor velocidad en el conjunto de la sociedad mundial. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.

In the article I start from the assumption that we are not currently undergoing a systemic crisis of capitalism but a scenario of novel restructurings, driven by new forces of social integration. At the heart of the present capitalist regeneration of world society is a new structure of molecular social classes (or classes of individuals), embedded in a less dynamic structure of organic social classes (or classes of countries). At the beginning of the paper, I advance the theoretical development of molecular social classes by recognising four related types: the profit-dependent class, the labour-dependent class, the crime-dependent class, and the assistance-dependent class (ADC). Following this conceptual approach, I concentrate on the sociological analysis of the assistance-dependent class in Latin America. I distinguish between a subclass dependent on state assistance and a subclass dependent on private migrant assistance. According to my estimates, the ADC is the fastest growing social class in world society as a whole. |
