canon, sociología clásica, Durkheim, Du Bois, Marx, WeberResumo
Uno de los debates más polémicos que atraviesa a la sociología es qué hacer con el canon de Marx, Weber y Durkheim: ¿abandonarlo, comenzar con uno nuevo o reconstruir el existente? En este artículo examino las afirmaciones de Connell, la principal defensora de la idea de abandonar el canon. Ella afirma que este es una imposición arbitraria que no tiene relación con la historia real de la sociología y que sería mejor que examináramos cómo el canon llegó a serlo. Ella no considera el valor intrínseco del canon y, en cambio, propone la idea de la teoría del Sur. No está claro qué es lo que caracteriza a una teoría tal ni qué es lo que reúne al conjunto de teóricos que se proponen como parte de ella. Como alternativa propongo reconstruir el canon con la vida y obra de W.E.B. Du Bois, quien fue impulsado precisamente por los temas que preocupan a Connell. El canon es relacional, de modo que Du Bois no se agrega simplemente, sino que se pone en conversación con Marx, Weber y Durkheim, lo que lleva a una relectura de cada uno de estos teóricos.
