Reviews

La taxonomia de las tres generaciones ilumina en algunos puntos, por ejemplo, respecto del hecho que la circulacion del pensamien-to necesita de su divulgacion, apropiacion, puesta en uso, asi como de la generacion de posiciones dentro del mundo academico. - Revista Mad, Magister en Analisis Sistemico Aplicado a la Sociedad [The taxonomy of three generations sheds lights on some points, for example, regarding the fact that circulation of knowledge requires its dissemination, appropriation, and application as well as obtaining positions within the academic world.] La investigacion de Rodriguez Medina brinda luces y abre caminos hacia la dilucidacion del problema sociologico relacionado con la circulacion del pensamiento a nivel global, basado en la tesis de que la ciencia, a pesar de sus diversos contextos, se constituye como un sistema global que introduce dentro de si variables regionales en su despliegue operativo (Luhmann 1996; Arnold, Thumala & Urquiza 2011). De igual manera, su discusion con otras investigaciones similares brinda interesantes perspectivas sobre el posicionamiento de La-tinoamerica en el panorama sociologico mundial, lo cual, sin duda, es un importante aporte a investigaciones futuras. Finalmente, en el caso de los sistemicos en Hispanoamerica, claramente abre caminos que invitan a un nuevo extranjero a visitar el pais de los luhmannianos. - Revista Mad, Magister en Analisis Sistemico Aplicado a la Sociedad [Rodriguez Medina's illuminating research provides new avenues to elucidate the sociological problem of the circulation of knowledge at a global level, based on the thesis that the sciences, despite its diverse contexts, constitutes a global system that contains in itself regional variables during its operative development. At the same time, his discussion of investigations on similar topics raises interesting perspectives on the positioning of Latin America within the international sociological landscape - without a doubt, a major contribution for future research. Finally, for systems theorists in Hispanic America, the book paves the way for new 'foreigners' to visit the Luhmannian country.]
