Abstract

This paper proposes, from a specific professional trajectory, a reflection on the sociology of Latin America. After a quick sketch of a large set of social profiles of researchers working on the region, it focuses on three major issues. Firstly, the use and choice of the language in which one works (and behind this question the central issue of the recipient of sociology). Secondly, the differences between intellectual worlds that are built either upon professional positions with well-defined areas or more inconsistent places built upon more or less personal itineraries. Finally, the paper presents an analysis about the possible destinies of the notion of "Latin America" within a time of transformation of sociological production
