Crítica a las genealogías reales e imaginarias

Abstract

Currently the term genealogy is widespread in the social sciences as a methodology used to explain contemporary problems.However, genealogy, as a form of knowledge, is used in different ways.Contemporary philosophers such as Bernard Williams and Edward Craig have addressed different genealogical perspectives, characterizing the qualities and possibilities offered by each and identifying two types: what they call real genealogies and imaginary or fictional genealogies.In this article I argue that such a classification is problematic, because the term genealogy substantially refers to something that cannot be imaginary or fictional.The genealogist's way of knowing is based on recollecting pieces of real history that will allow him or her to look at the subject matter from a new perspective; therefore, to speak of imaginary or fictional genealogies is contradictory.
