Sumario:This article studies the becoming of the sociology chairs of the Faculties of Philosophy and Arts and Economic Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires during the years 1920-1940. After the end of the sociology of the Centenary, which featured leading intellectuals such as Ernesto Quesada, Juan Agustín García and Leopoldo Maupas, and before the renewal begun in 1940 by Gino Germani, Buenos Aires sociology entered into a crisis that made it lose its centrality at the national level. For this reason, the text focuses on reconstructing the trajectories and intellectual orientations of the professors in charge of the University chairs: Ricardo Levene and Justo Prieto. The contrast between both professors will show that, while in the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts an important updating of the sociological traditions is appreciated, in Economic Sciences a teaching program of the discipline was maintained adjusted to the positivist and evolutionary parameters of the end of the 19th century.
