⁵ Peruse the previously cited articles for an overview of the topics of research of Argentine social scientists. The sociology discusses here is “theoretical”; there is also applied sociology which consists of social work, urban planning, housing, industrial sociology, public opinion, mass communication, and administration. Some other themes studied by the theoretical sociologists in Argentina were Peronism, poor neighborhoods, changes in the family, changes in sexual relations, the difficulties of industrialization and of forming capable managers, labor unions, modernization, social classes and social mobility, populism, internal migration, foreign immigration, elites, political systems, violence, dictators, economic development as part of the world system (mainly dependency theory), urban and regional studies, social psychology, bureaucratic-authoritarian regimes, and demography. These topics and names of those Argentines who have worked on them are found in an excellent article by DiTella, Torcuato S., “La sociología argentina en una perspectiva de veinte años,” Desarrollo Económico, 20 (October-December, 1980), pp. 312, and 315–22.Google Scholar

⁶ An example of research which is approached from a marxist and structuralist perspective is that done on women, Marysa Navarro, 114–15; Wainerman, Catalina H., Sautu, Ruth and de Lattes, Zulma Recchini, “The Participation of Women in Economic Activity in Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay,” LARR, 15, no. 2 (1980), 143–51Google Scholar; and Sautu, Ruth, “The Female Labor Force in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay,” LARR, 15, no. 2 (1980), 152–61.Google Scholar
