CICERCHIA, Ricardo  y  BESTARD, Joan. ¡Todavía una historia de la familia! Encrucijadas e itinerarios en los estudios sobre las formas familiare. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2006, vol.4, n.1, pp.17-36. ISSN 1692-715X.

One of the consequences of the gradual displacement of the functionalist theory and its perception on the modernization process, was the social sciences reorientation towards the social changes dynamics, multidirectional transformations and the social history. In this framework, the family field, started more than three decades ago, was taken with a new enthusiasm. About this scientific itinerary without any definitive conclusion, we propose to develop two questions apparently naive to the family history. In what sense we can talk about the history of the family?, and in what sense the european 4 family, base for almost all interpretations, is different to the rest of the world? For this goal, we propose to back to certain fundaments of history and anthropology, two of the most important fields for the social imaginary of family, to understand its encounters, and to answer a set of conceptual confusions coming from recent works.

Palabras clave : Family History; Anthropology; Modernization Theory.
