Aproximación metodológica a la temporalidad de la acción social: los inmigrantes andinos en Madrid / Methodological approach to the temporality of social action: Andean immigrants in Madrid

Abstract

The categories of space and time, which Kant defines as the a priori categories of sensitivity, are really social categories, as Durkheim pointed out. In this article, time has been defined as those events that break into the narrative of the trajectories as a consequence of a reflection exercise, whose condition of possibility lies in the updating of the senses associated with the biographical experiences of the immigrants of the city of Madrid. Therefore, new ways of conceptualizing time are necessary to be able to narrate and express such events in another way, and therefore explain them. This article proposes a methodology to capture social action in its temporal dimension, and transcend in this way the temporality that nests in the migratory fact through what we have called nodes of discourse, such as those reflective moments that reconfigure the coordinates and planes temporal of the narration itself to give meaning and intelligibility to social action, in this case the migratory trajectories proposed in this text.
