Abstract

The following work highlights two historical, technological and institutional trends that precede two of the most recent crises that have had to be assumed from the sociological field. First, expansive digital architectures that, through Big Data have questioned the analytical and methodological role of Sociology. Furthermore, the new models of public management that have eroded and fragmented the distinctive core of the discipline. In Guatemala, these trends overlap with a series of conditioning factors that, it will be maintained, promote a type of crisis that Guatemalan Sociology is not capable of facing.
