إضافة وسم | الملخص: | This work explores, theoretically, relations between organizations and social problems (public problems or society’s problems). A constant observation in sociological studies of the subject has been the distortion between organizational ends and actions. That is, in their activities and operations, organizations put to the side the end (resolution of problems) for which they had been created under criteria of self-reproduction. Given the general nature of these results, we are interested in reflecting, theoretically, on the assumptions underlying of observing organizations (their conditions of possibility). To that end, we present three case studies of organizations dedicated to dealing with social problems. On the basis of these studies, we go on to analyze modes of observation tied to the evaluation of the organization-social problem relation. Finally, based on social systems theory (Luhmann), we propose a different way of analyzing and conceptualizing the relation mentioned. |
