Our research belongs to the field of social studies of science. Within this field, we try to perform an epistemological analysis about Sociology in Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) between 1987 and 2004. Specifically, we will do a documental review of the UBA Sociology career syllabus and a quantitative analysis on the papers presented on the UBA Jornadas de Sociología of 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2004. Our hypothesis is that both in the syllabus as in the Jornadas, epistemological, theorical and methodological elements of the social sciences potsmodern paradigm can be identified. These elements, from our perspective, have important effects in the development of the discipline and the formation of its students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
