De Modernidad y Holocausto a Pensando sociológicamente

El presente trabajo destaca las críticas que Zygmunt Bauman hace a la sociología a partir de dos obras publicadas a finales de la década de 1980 y principios de los noventa: Modernidad y Holocausto (1989) y Pensando sociológicamente (1990). El artículo sostiene que estos dos textos tienen una gran relación y deben leerse conjuntamente. En ellos Bauman sostiene que la teoría positiva del progreso, que caracteriza a la perspectiva sociológica, explica los errores que han llevado a considerar al Holocausto y otros genocidios como excepción y no como consecuencia de la modernidad. A partir de estas premisas, Bauman aborda la negligencia disciplinar hacia el estudio de dichos fenómenos y, para contrarrestarla, destaca la importancia de incorporar la categoría de exclusión y la oposición entre "nosotros" y "ellos" como puntos de partida centrales en el análisis sociológico para lograr explicar la discriminación en las relaciones sociales y las conductas asociadas que pueden ir desde el mero distanciamiento a las expresiones más drásticas de xenofobia.... view less

This work seeks to highlight Zygmunt Bauman's criticism of sociology based on two of his works published in the late 1980s and early 1990s: Modernity and the Holocaust (1990) and Thinking Sociologically (1990). The article establishes that there is a strong link between both texts, and readers should approach them as related works. In those books, Bauman maintains that the positivist theory of progress distinguishes sociological perspective and explains the mistakes that led to address the Holocaust and other genocides as an exception and not as a consequence of modernity. Based on this criticism, Bauman approaches sociology's negligence in its treatment of these phenomena. As a counterpoint, he highlights the importance of integrating exclusion as a category and the antagonism between "us" and "them" as major starting points in the sociological analysis to explain discrimination within social networks and the resulting behaviors, ranging from simple estrangement to the gravest xenophobic expressions.... view less
