Abstract (in English)
The Sociology Professor Programme degree in Uruguay was introduced in 2008 with the Teacher Training Plan. Before 2008 it was included in the programme of Civic Education, Sociology and Law. Along with the educational transformation of 2023, both programmes were reunified. The present work analyses the curricular changes produced in teaching Sociology regarding the Sociology and Law professorship in Uruguay, based on two ideas: liberating impiety and historical theft. The main objetive is to unthink the structure of the different forms of teaching Sociology and enquire the way in which the new methods of teaching Sociology and Law were configurated. Another objetive is the use of this two concepts as theoretical-methodological tools. Darder's liberating impiety consists in the possibility of freedom from geopolitical, historiographical and epistemological hegemony introduced by Europe and the United States. It imposes itself as principle and foundation of the history as well as the mainstay of the supremacy of modern-colonial/capitalistic/patriarcal reason as the only episteme. Thus, it implies not having mercy in the face of eugenic domination which directly denies thousand of people, especially the most materially deprived, the historical possibility to control their own development. Goody's notion of historical theft refers on how an hegemonic eurocentric history is built on the basis of provincial facts which are generalised and presented as "the true history" of Western Europe or even the world´s history. Both concepts as theoretical-methodological tools enables the analysis and reconfiguration of the epistemological perspectives for the elaboration of plans and programmes, since they allow us to break with the eugenic dominance. In other words, the aim is to find out if there has been liberating impiety and historical theft throughout the curricular changes. The document analysis technique is used to study the different plans and programmes of the Sociology and Law teaching programme degree (1977, 1986, 1996, 2005, 2008 and 2023). The results indicate the absence of liberating impiety, which would allow to question the epistemological empire imposed as the only criteria of truth, therefore to confront epistemological violence. Finally, an exo-epistemological matrix is observed in the configuration of the curricular history, understood as the absence of epistemological reflection.
Abstract (in Language of Presentation)
En Uruguay el profesorado de Sociología surge a partir del 2008 con el plan para Formación Docente. Previo a 2008 estaba incluido en el profesorado de Educación Cívica, Sociología-Derecho. Con la transformación educativa de 2023 se unifican ambos profesorados nuevamente. Este trabajo busca analizar los cambios curriculares en la enseñanza de la Sociología para el profesorado de Sociología-Derecho en Uruguay a partir de dos ideas: impiedad liberadora y hurto histórico. El objetivo central está en des-pensar la forma y los contenidos de la enseñanza de la Sociología e indagar la manera en que éstos se configuraron en el nuevo profesorado de Sociología-Derecho. Un segundo objetivo es la utilización de estos dos conceptos como herramientas teóricas-metodológicas. La impiedad liberadora de Darder consiste en la posibilidad de liberarse de la hegemonía geopolítica, historiográfica y epistemológica introducida por Europa y Estados Unidos. Ella, se impone como principio y fundamento de la historia y base de la supremacía de la razón moderna-colonial/capitalista/patriarcal como única episteme. Implica entonces no tener piedad ante el dominio eugenésico que niega de manera directa la posibilidad histórica a miles de personas, especialmente a los sectores más desfavorecidos materialmente, para controlar un desarrollo propio. La idea de hurto histórico de Goody refiere a cómo se construye una historia eurocéntrica hegemónica a partir de hechos provinciales que se generalizan y se presentan como “la historia” de la Europa Occidental o incluso mundial. Ambos conceptos como herramientas teórico-metodológica permiten analizar y re-configurar las perspectivas epistemológicas para elaborar los planes y programas, ya que permite romper con el dominio eugenésico. Es decir, se busca encontrar si a lo largo de los cambios curriculares hubo impiedad liberadora y hurto histórico. Se utiliza la técnica de análisis de documentos para estudiar los diferentes planes y programas del profesorado de Sociología-Derecho (1977, 1986, 1996, 2005, 2008 y 2023). Los resultados constatan la ausencia de impiedad liberadora, lo que permitiría cuestionar el imperio epistemológico impuesto como único criterio de verdad, y por tanto, enfrentar la violencia epistemológica. Finalmente, se observa en la configuración de la historia curricular una matriz exo-epistemológica, entendida como la ausencia de reflexión epistemológica.
