Discutimos acerca de la utilidad heurística de la noción weberiana de sentido para explicar la percepción que se tiene en Estados Unidos de los inmigrantes y los indocumentados en particular. Cuestionamos la regla metodológica de que para comprender el sentido de esas percepciones hay que pasar por la noción de estructura y la teoría de la socialización, como lo plantea Jorge Bustamante. Sostenemos que la noción de sentido pone en juego la concepción de un individuo motivado por razones para percibir de X y Y manera a los inmigrantes y que esas razones lejos de ser justificaciones tienen un fundamento real, objetivo. Avanzamos un bosquejo comprensivo de la Ley SB1070 tratando de elucidar algunas de las razones por las que los actores involucrados la aprueban o la desaprueban.

In this paper, we examine the heuristic utility of Weber's notion of meaning to explain the perception of immigrants in the United States, particularly undocumented immigrants. The methodological rule implying that the understanding of the meaning of such perceptions can only be achieved through the notion of structure and the theory of socialization, as presented by Jorge Bustamante, is contested. We argue that with the notion of meaning comes into play the conception of an individual motivated by subjective reasons when perceiving immigrants as X or Y, and that those reasons, far from being justifications, have a real, objective basis. We advance a comprehensive framework of law SB1070 to attempt to elucidate some of the reasons that motivate involved actors’ approval or disapproval of this law. |
