Itineraries of Durkheimian sociology at the National University of Córdoba. The reception of Enrique Martí­nez Paz and Raúl Orgaz: from The rules of sociological method to The elementary forms of the Religious Life (1907-1925)

Abstract

The present work aims to study the reception of Emile Durkheim and his disciples' work (Paul Fauconnet, Marcel Mauss, Celestin Bouglé, etc.) in the National University of Córdoba, more precisely at the Sociology chair of the School of Law and Social Sciences, from its fundation in 1907 to 1925, when the approach to this sociological school changes, expanding the readings that, at the begining, were mainly limitated to The rules of sociological method and, subsidiarily, The division of labour in society. To achieve it, the article will be focused on the works (books, articles, lectures, class notes, etc., wich condensate that reception) of those who were, for several years, professors of the said chair: Enrique Martí­nez Paz and Raúl Orgaz. Deliberately, the work of Isidoro Ruiz Moreno, the first professor of Sociology in Córdoba, will be omitted because of his short career at the head of the subject and, in the same sense, Alfredo Poviña's, on whom a future work is proposed.
