Description
Abstract
(ES) En este artículo se explora el concepto de "civilización" en el contexto francés del siglo XIX, analizando su evolución, usos ideológicos y tensiones internas. Se sostiene que "civilización" no es solo una idea abstracta, sino un proyecto identitario y de control que buscaba imponer normas y valores específicos. A través del ejemplo del empleo del término civilisation en la obra de François Guizot se pone de manifiesto cómo este célebre historiador y político francés integraba desarrollo individual y colectivo subordinando siempre al individuo a un ideal colectivo definido por las élites intelectuales de la época. El artículo destaca la vinculación de la civilización con la ideología colonial, evidenciando su papel como herramienta para legitimar el dominio europeo sobre pueblos considerados "primitivos". Se concluye subrayando la relevancia sociológica del concepto, sus implicaciones de control y su capacidad para generar tensiones sociales y culturales que persisten hasta hoy.
