| Summary: | This text presents the perspective of Cultural Fronts for the study of
the cultural dynamics of complex societies. More than a new concept,
this perspective provides a different manner of interrogating and understanding
the complex significative dimension of everyday life. The author
develops the idea that by means of the perspective Cultural Fronts,
that which we consider and live as normal, self-evident, truthful and obvious
in wliatever place or time, must be imderstood as a momentaiy
state of a collective and provisional symbohc order. The study of the
symbolic dimension of hfe from the perspective of cultural fronts
allows us to know how our most prized and shared representations and
our most loved sentiments have been created, and at the same time,
opens us up to the possibility of understanding the development and
construction of diverse modes and strategies of symbohc convergence
and integration. For this purpose, this paper has two large sections. The
first exphcates the theoretical bases of the approach and the second develops
the four perspectives that converge in the methodological perspective
of cultural fronts.
Finally, we will see that this approach can contribute, through its
own process of inquiry, materials and perspectives for woricing on horizontal
networks and on processes of social empowerment. |
