Etnografía, Teoría Fundamentada y Frónesis: La Relevancia del Contexto

  • Alexander Castleton

Resumo

En este artículo discutiré la relevancia del contexto para entender lo social. Sostengo que al reducir la realidad social a modelos estructurados, cerrados y predictivos, las posibilidades de comprender la vida humana se ven severamente restringidas. Baso esta idea en las nociones del sociólogo danés Bent Flybvjerg sobre el rol del término arsistotélico frónesis en la investigación sociológica. Trataré, además, de establecer como la frónesis es útil para enfoques cualitativos claves como la teoría fundamentada y la etnografía. Finalmente presentaré un ejemplo de trabajo empírico desarrollado dentro de dos fábricas de una empresa de productos lácteos en Uruguay (CASTLETON 2017).
