This article approaches the analysis of the relationship between the concepts of «urban» and «modern», incorporating some conceptual precisions about the components of this relationship. We address the historical scenario to explain the role that the city has had as an institutional space in modernity. From this referential context, a reflection is made about the modern city in Latin America and Peru to try and unravel its particularities in the composition of societies such as ours. The theoretical framework we develop recovers the contributions from diverse authors, who from different perspectives, study the modern city.

With regard to the narrative and intellectual production of José María Arguedas we try in this article to outline some ideas around the following question: How does the world imagined by Arguedas as a narrator provide us with a knowledge of the real world of what our country is? We find in his work intersections of literary fiction with the social sciences, there being a certain complementarity between these two ways of approaching social life, taking into account that both the novel and the science of society are modern forms that attempt to present a total reality that no one can encompass. From two different but not exclusive points of view, Arguedas brings us closer to the knowledge and valuation of the Andean world from an option that bets for the recognition of the Andean culture as one of the foundations of our identity.

We analyzed the social representations constructed by the students of the School of Economic Engineering of the National University of Engineering about their university experience in the context of Peruvian society, we explored the ways of thinking, feeling and attitudes that these students assume about various aspects that involve the society/university relationship.

This article deals with the cultural dimension and the construction of identities in the city, taking into account the material, symbolic and communication referents that have transformed the forms of sociality, giving rise to a process of sociocultural fragmentation in the urban setting.

In the present study, we will analyze the socioeconomic characteristics of households in relation to the dwellings they occupy in the regions of Arequipa and Piura, based on information from the National Household Survey (ENAHO, INEI, 2004-2017). We have selected these departments because, due to their population concentration and socioeconomic dynamics, they are representative of the housing problem in the country. We also consider that the housing policy through the MiVivienda and Techo Propio programs has had an important development in the regions in the last years, in general the beneficiaries of this last program, oriented to the social sectors C and D, are concentrated in provinces (Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS), 2015). From this frame of reference we will address the housing situation in the Arequipa and Piura regions, especially its impact on the qualit...

Lima ofrece hoy la imagen de varias «ciudades» a su interior. Entre ellas tiene lugar una fragmentación sociocultural, expresada en distintas formas de sociabilidad y nuevos sentidos de pertenencia. Estas «ciudades» se comunican entre sí y se conectan con el mundo globalizado a través de los medios de comunicación masiva, y por medios virtuales. La metrópoli constituye así un «espacio comunicacional». Tomamos en cuenta los referentes materiales, simbólicos y comunicacionales que han transformado las formas de sociabilidad y la construcción de identidades en el escenario urbano de Lima.

La investigación de Edith Aranda recrea el imaginario de los talareños sobre la vida cotidiana, cubriendo varias generaciones, pero tiene el cuidado de distinguir los testimonios según las diferencias de clases que la IPC estructuró. Las diferencias entre estos testimonios no supone enfrentamiento: son justamente eso, diferencias.

Reflexiona sobre la problemática de la modernidad a partir del análisis de una morfología urbana de concepción moderna como los company towns, considerando las formas de sociabilidad que desarrollan sus habitantes. Nuestro interés por la relación entre lo urbano y lo moderno nos lleva a abordar la problemática de la modernidad en el Perú, a través del análisis de una configuración espacial y de la vida cotidiana que en ella se da.
