| Summary: | This essay proposes a methodology for simultaneously approaching sociological theory perspectives from the South and the North, through its problems and its emergent dimensions. To this end, I intend to avoid the devices of “temporal distancing” between South and North, either those that indicate a supposed “delay” of the South with respect to the North in “reception” studies, or those that assert a mere “cultural relativism” between the elaborations of both regions. This makes it possible to analyze, on the same level, different contributions to sociological theory from certain theoretical and epochal crossroads of a simultaneous and uneven modernity. |
