Interdisciplinarité et fragmentation dans les recherches sur le travail en Argentine

Abstract

The development of the sociology of work in Argentina must be understood in light of the history of economic and political instabilities in that country after military coup of 1976. The macroeconomic instabilities and the imperative need to understand volatile scenarios gave rise to a broad and diverse discipline, both thematically and theoretically. This was encouraged by a field of studies that from its beginnings was configured as a space for interdisciplinary dialogue and production. With an initial imprint that recovered the founding perspective of the French sociology of work, and later expanded to the Anglo-Saxon, it currently seeks to strengthen a Latin American perspective, in which the center of the debate, a world of work in permanent conflict, strongly precarious and informal and where organized workers are key actors.
