Imaginarios americanos. Civilizaciones y pluralidad en las múltiples Américas
Resumen
Este artículo pretende replantear la perspectiva del análisis de las modernidades y civilizaciones múltiples
defendido por SN Eisenstadt desde el punto de vista de las Américas. Utilizando una noción de
imaginarios sociales (siguiendo a Cornelius Castoriadis), sostengo que existe una mayor diversidad
de formaciones sociales multidimensionales de la que Eisenstadt dio cuenta. Me baso en mis análisis civilizacionales y de sociología histórica para demostrar que existen once constelaciones
constelaciones y sociedades regionales americanas y no simplemente dos Américas, como sugiere Eisenstadt.
sugiere Eisenstadt. Para llegar a esta conclusión, señalo las interconexiones de las sociedades y las
historias conectadas que vinculan diferentes regiones durante un periodo muy largo. El artículo explora
el capitalismo en las múltiples Américas como ilustración del argumento.
