Brief Description

   The emergence of a theoretical or methodological synthesis work marks a point of maturity of research, consolidation and systematization for the knowledge of a field. The lack of analytical tools to guid the research is a cause for the social actions' difficulties. The Institute of Sociology aims to support the translation of fundamental works, recovering forgotten writings, or synthesizing theoretical and methodological novelties.
