This work aims to analyze and criticize one of the contemporary trends within the Argentine Social Work: the postmodern field. For such purpose, it is essential to study and analyze the major decisions offered by the postmodern field as regards social sciences, particularly its considerations concerning modernity, the transition to a new postmodern state of sociability, and the function exercised by science in the past and today. This enables to identify the existing mediations between these theoretical proposals and the configuration of a postmodern field within the Social Work as well as how a number of theoretical, political and ethical proposals emerge around the professional intervention
