C. Wright Mils revisited: Society and Power

C. Wright Mills has been forgotten by sociological theories however there is no doubt about how much he contributed to the field of Epistemology. He successfully participated in the American Sociology of Knowledge and, at the same time, he  upheld the tradition of the Conflict Theory, including the sociological dimension into one of the most questioned political subjects of his period. Undoubtedly,  Wright Mills was morally committed to the value of reason and freedom. His central issue was to analyse the real possibilities for a particular individual within  a particular social order to become a free man capable of reasoning. He wondered how someone could be able to transcend his daily nature through reason and  experience and to act accordingly to his power. The power and political processes were constant in his works, since he claimed that any political process was a  struggle for power and prestige, for authoritative positions, both within each nation  and among the different states. On the other hand, he  bserved that the social  structure in the United States of America was not completely democratic, since the  course of action depended on the decision of a small group of wealthy, powerful individuals. These concentrating spaces of power amongst some economic, military  and political corporations were supported by their underlying ideology, a fact that became clearer when referring to international affairs. Nowadays, in a world of  structural antagonisms, wars and rebellions, the need for looking at the work  of intellectuals like Mills re-emerges. Mills showed us a way in which a complex entity as power can be understood, and, at the same time, the need to consider the  course of history, its mechanics and process.

La crisis de identidad adolescente : aproximación al estudio de la adolescencia en torno a las aportaciones de Erik H. Erikson.

Estudiar la adolescencia en función del lugar que ocupa en el ciclo vital que recorre toda persona en su desarrollo mediante la figura de Erik. H. Erikson. La adolescencia se nos descubre como un tema difícil de abordar, tanto por su definición como por sus limites y contenidos. La clave es comprenderla como parte de un continuum genético evolutivo, con ciertos elementos que la caracterizan pero sin estar sujeto a límites fijos. Hemos de conceptualizar a la adolescencia como fenómeno bio-psico-social de forma que las tres dimensiones han de ser valoradas. Erikson es, sin duda quien mejor realiza la integración de todas las dimensiones en juego. Su enfoque se funda en el psicoánalisis, la antropología social, cultural y la pedagogía. Concibe la adolescencia como un periodo evolutivo en que se gesta y se resuelve una crisis de identidad. Su sistema teórico se muestra como pluridimensional: genético-evolutivo, gestáltico, organísmico, dinámico, adaptativo-psicosocial, interaccionista y humanístico. Erikson propone un desarrollo personológico integrado en tres líneas directrices: el principio epigenético de desarrollo, la relación de mutualidad, y la presencia en todo momento de variables socio-históricas en intersección con el ciclo vital personal. Constituye un gran acierto la vinculación que plantea de elementos de otras crisis en la identidad, así como la anticipación de ésta a las crisis anteriores y la proyección en las siguientes.
