Abstract

El propósito del artículo consistió en realizar una revisión de algunas de las definiciones de Modernidad y Modernización y de las propuestas de su convergencia, con el fin de guiar los estudios de estos procesos en sociedades particulares, como las de América Latina, en las que desarrollo y atraso coexisten generando conflictos y desigualdad. Se revisó las teorías de algunos autores contemporáneos especialmente de la sociología, así como las reflexiones de científicos sociales latinoamericanos provenientes de diferentes disciplinas, como la economía. Los criterios elegidos para seleccionar estas fuentes se soportaron en su riqueza explicativa y en la gama de indicadores que ofrecen para identificar e investigar la particularidad del cambio. La revisión mostró que en las definiciones operativas de la modernización y en la manera como se manifiesta la superación de las tensiones entre este proceso de cambio y la modernidad se encuentran dimensiones e indicadores para investigarlos, analizarlos y caracterizarlos en este tipo de sociedades. También arrojó que las definiciones contemporáneas ofrecen una explicación limitada de su dinámica que mixtura diferentes velocidades y ritmos en un mismo tiempo y espacio. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** The purpose of the article was to review some of the definitions of Modernity and Modernization and the proposals for their convergence, in order to guide the studies of these processes in particular societies,such as those of Latin America, in which development and backwardness coexist generating conflicts and inequality.The theories of some contemporary authors were reviewed, especially sociology, as well as the reflections of Latin American social scientists from different disciplines, such as economics. The criteria chosen to select these sources were based on their explanatory richness and the range of indicators they offer to identify and investigate the particularity of the change. The review showed that in the operational definitions of modernization and in the way in which the overcoming of the tensions between this process of change and modernity is manifested, there are dimensions and indicators to investigate, analyze and characterizethem in this type of societies. He also showed that contemporary definitions of these processes offer a limited explanation of their dynamics that mix different speeds and rhythms in the same time and space. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** O objetivo do artigo foi revisar algumas das definicoes de Modernidade e Modernizacao e as propostas para sua convergencia, a fim de orientar os estudos desses processos em sociedades particulares, como as da América Latina, nas quais o desenvolvimento e o atraso coexistem gerando conflitos e desigualdades.Foram revisadas as teorias de alguns autores contemporaneos, especialmente a sociologia, bem como as reflexoes de cientistas sociais latino-americanos de diferentes disciplinas, como a economia.

A revisao mostrou que nas definicoes operacionais de modernizacao e no modo como se manifesta a superacao das tensoes entre esse processo de mudanca e modernidade, há dimensoes e indicadores para investigá-las, analisá-las e caracterizá-las nesse tipo de sociedade. Ele também mostrou que as definicoes contemporaneas desses processos oferecem uma explicacao limitada de suas dinamicas que misturam diferentes velocidades e ritmos no mesmo tempo e espaco.
