OSORIO, Jaime. Elements for a theoretical construction on Latin America. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.69, pp.187-202. ISSN 0187-5795.

Latin America does not constitute a given object, as supposed by empirist-positivism. Yet, it is neither pure disarticulation, as concluded by Posmodern approach. Latin America is constituted as a theoretical problem as questions arise around its way of being in a world ruled by the logics of Capital, that in its unfolding becomes Capitalism. It is in the vortex of that social tornado that the region becomes intelligible. The aim of this article is to show a possible path in that direction, one that contemplates the regional whole and that allows, at the same time, to assume the differences and diversities that preveil in its interior.
