Estructuración e imaginario: entre Giddens y Castoriadis

Abstract

En este artículo, se interpreta la teoría de la estructuración de Anthony Giddens como proyecto inconcluso de formular una ontología de la contingencia.

En este artículo, se interpreta la teoría de la estructuración de Anthony Giddens como proyecto inconcluso de formular una ontología de la contingencia. Se sostiene que esa lectura renueva el interés de sus escritos, especialmente los de la etapa teórica (1971-1984), pero también desnuda una limitación poco discutida que consiste en la subsunción del sentido a la noción de "regla". Se sostiene que la consecuencia de este límite es considerar sólo una contingencia de baja intensidad que no deja lugar al "acontecimiento" y que, por tanto, recorta la captación del cambio social. Después de razonar esta crítica, se propone una ampliación de la propuesta de Giddens a la luz de otra ontología de la contingencia (la de Cornelius Castoriadis) en la que el acontecimiento disruptivo es el foco principal de la atención. El resultado del análisis es una ampliación y dinamización de la consideración giddensiana del vínculo estructura/acción.... view less

This article construes Anthony Giddens' theory of structuration as an unfinished project to formulate an ontology of contingency. This interpretation renews the interest on his writings, in particular on those from the theoretical period (1971-1984), but also reveals a rarely discussed weakness: the subsumption of meaning to the notion of "rule". As a consequence, only low intensity contingencies come under consideration, leaving no room for "events", and this undercuts the ability to interpret social change. After explaining this critique, the article proposes an expansion of Giddens' ideas in light of a different ontology of contingency: the one offered by Cornelius Castoriadis. Under this ontology disruptive events become the focus of attention. As a result of this analysis, Giddens' approach develops into a broader and more dynamic consideration of the relationship between structure and action.... view less
