By the way I just realized that the affaire Sokal already has more than 10 years (the articles were published in 1996), step to me to ask why sociologists we tend, when we look at the science, to fall into relativism? (on the idea that or all the systems have equal validity, equal or base […]

the rules of The method: The postulate of the explanation of social
In the two previous posts about ‘rules of method’, I focused on rules surrounding the actor: which seem to be ideas appropriate to work with the social partners.

A note on the Conclusion
This occurred to me from an article by Edwards in the edition of the 1st of April The Third.

Because you have to recognize that listening to the conversations and the situations in locomotion collective never ceases to be interesting. From the Transantiago, […]
Discussing surveys, CERC, Adimark, fees, ways of asking and other things without much importance
The following was posted in Chilesoc to purpose of a discussion on polls that appeared slightly in the press (the same of always criticizing CERC for use fees; CERC criticizing Adimark for the questions used). And as you would be to leave this poor blog as a repository of all things, of greater or lesser […]
Creating
For some strange reason, in reality not so strange, of all Creation, a good part of the comments focus on the first few minutes -The Representation of Chaos. The oratorio lasts more than an hour, the central theme is the celebration -it is celebration – the creation of the world, but it is what happens […]
