For Sociological Precision Regarding the Concept of Social AccelerationPara una precisión sociológica del concepto de aceleración socialCristiano, JavieraccelerationtimestructureagencyaceleracióntiempoestructuraagenciaThe issue of social acceleration, which has gained ground in the debates on capitalism and modernity, encounters –as is often the case with clichés– the misunderstandings characteristic of a thought-provoking term that is also ambiguous and polyvalent. This article seeks to contribute to a sociological delimitation of the concept, based on a definition of its literal meaning (the term acceleration), to subsequently proceed to sociologically relevant levels in which acceleration processes can take place. It distinguishes between the structural level, the agency level and the one involving the structure/action link, identifying the sub-levels and sub-types of social acceleration in each.

El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a una delimitación sociológica del concepto a partir de una precisión de su significado literal (el término aceleración) para luego proceder a diferenciar niveles sociológicamente relevantes en los que pueden darse procesos de aceleración. Se distinguen en concreto el nivel estructural, el agencial y el del vínculo estructura/acción, y se diferencia en cada uno subniveles y subtipos de aceleración social. Además de ofrecer una precisión concreta, a mi juicio poco habitual en los debates sobre el tema, el principal interés de la propuesta consiste en su potencialidad para discernir grados de interés teórico y empírico de fenómenos específicos de aceleración social.El Colegio de México2020-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://estudiossociologicos.colmex.mx/index.php/es/article/view/181110.24201/es.2020v38n114.1811Estudios Sociológicos de El Colegio de México; Vol. 38 No. 114 (2020): Vol. XXXVIII, num. 114, September-December, 2020; 829-848Estudios Sociológicos de El Colegio de México; Vol. 38 Núm. 114 (2020): Vol. XXXVIII, núm. 114, septiembre-diciembre, 2020; 829-8482448-64420185-4186reponame:Estudios Sociológicosinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://estudiossociologicos.colmex.mx/index.php/es/article/view/1811/1944https://estudiossociologicos.colmex.mx/index.php/es/article/view/1811/1959Derechos de autor 2020 Estudios Sociológicos de El Colegio de Méxicohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.estudiossociologicos.colmex.mx:article/18112024-08-19T18:21:04Z |

The issue of social acceleration, which has gained ground in the debates on capitalism and modernity, encounters –as is often the case with clichés– the misunderstandings characteristic of a thought-provoking term that is also ambiguous and polyvalent. This article seeks to contribute to a sociological delimitation of the concept, based on a definition of its literal meaning (the term acceleration), to subsequently proceed to sociologically relevant levels in which acceleration processes can take place. It distinguishes between the structural level, the agency level and the one involving the structure/action link, identifying the sub-levels and sub-types of social acceleration in each. In addition to providing accuracy –which, in my view, is unusual in debates on the subject–, the main interest of the proposal is its potential to discern degrees of theoretical and empirical interest in specific phenomena involving social acceleration. |
