The impact that Redfield and, more broadly, Chicago’s theories on social change had on the theories of modernization in Latin America is of course well known, as well as the works of Lewis.

El artículo busca mostrar los diálogos del pensamiento urbano latinoamericano con un famoso debate antropológico, el del «continuo folk-urbano» de Robert Redfield y «la cultura de la pobreza» de Oscar Lewis. El impacto que Redfield y, más en general, las teorías de Chicago sobre el cambio social tuvieron en las teorías de la modernización latinoamericana es, por supuesto, bien conocido, así como también los trabajos de Lewis. Pero no se ha reflexionado lo suficiente sobre el significado de que todo el pensamiento urbano latinoamericano se haya desenvuelto, en el período que corre entre la Segunda Guerra y los años setenta, en el marco puesto por aquel debate. Y como la ciudad tuvo, en ese período, una sobredeterminación política y cultural evidente, revisar la conexión con aquel debate antropológico no supone solamente el análisis de un caso entre otros de circulación de las ideas científicas, sino la posibilidad de entrever, a través de la antropología, el espectro de figuraciones dentro del cual se movió entonces el pensamiento sobre la «ciudad latinoamericana».

The article aims to show the dialogues of the Latin American urban thought with a famous anthropological debate, that of Robert Redfield´s «folk-urban continuum» and Oscar Lewis´s «culture of poverty». The impact that Redfield and, more broadly, Chicago’s theories on social change had on the theories of modernization in Latin America is of course well known, as well as the works of Lewis. But it has not been reflected enough about the meaning that the whole Latin American urban thought has been developed, in the period that runs between the Second War and the seventies, under the framework established by that debate. And as the city had, in that period, a clear political and cultural overdetermination, reviewing the connection with that debate is not only the analysis of a case among others of circulation of scientific ideas, but the opportunity to observe, through anthropology, the spectrum of figurations within which the thinking about the «Latin American city» then moved. |
