The social movement that shook Colombia between April and May 2021 is unprecedented for its breadth and for the violence of the repression that accompanied it. Commentators see a rebellion of the "youth" there. Nevertheless, the term covers very different realities. The article emphasizes above all the double context in which it takes place. On the one hand, an intense political polarization provoked by the rejec­ tion of the Havana Agreements: the tensions that arise from there accentuate the ongoing institutional weakening; on the other, an equally intense social polarization, which certainly comes from afar, but which explodes with the pandemic. and with the demobilization of the FARC. The author argues that both this violence and the recent armed conflict have been guarantees for maintaining the social status quo for the benefit of the elites—if only because they favor the disorganization of the popular classes. From a certain moment on, the inability of the State to be present over a large part of the territory and the growth of the drug economy translate into a proliferation of nuclei of violence. Instead of offering the opportunity to reinforce the national symbolism, the Agreements ultimately engender new frag­ mentations. ; El movimiento social que sacudió a Colombia entre abril y mayo de 2021 es inédito por su amplitud, al igual que por la violencia de la represión que lo acompañó. Los comentaristas ven allí una rebelión de la " juventud". Sin embargo, el término recubre evidentemente realidades muy diferentes. El artículo pone el acento sobre todo en el doble contexto en el cual tiene lugar. Por un lado, la intensa polarización polí­ tica suscitada por el rechazo de los Acuerdos de La Habana: las tensiones que de allí provienen acentúan el debilitamiento institucional en marcha. Por otro lado, la no menos intensa polarización social, que viene de lejos, ciertamente, pero que explota con la pandemia… y con la desmovilización de las FARC. El autor sostiene que tanto la violencia como el conflicto armado reciente han sido garantías para el mantenimiento del statu quo social en provecho de las élites, así solo sea porque favorecen la desorganización de las clases populares. La incapacidad del Estado de hacer acto de presencia sobre una gran parte del territorio y el crecimiento de la economía de la droga se traducen a partir de cierto momento en la proliferación de los núcleos de violencia. En lugar de ofrecer la ocasión para un reforzamiento de la simbólica nacional, los Acuerdos engendran finalmente nuevas fragmentaciones.

The article concentrates on the most essential elements of a social science as research, whereby research is strictly interpreted as the verification of a theory in a particular field but neither as "theorie sans terrain" nor "terrain sans theorie". Yet even if this particular employment in the field of social science is explicitly conceived of as privileging the logic of discovery and the strictures of proof in opposite to all preconstructed themes, theories and traditions of different disciplines, it cannot simply be reduced to the standpoint of pure logic. Engagement for social science as reflexive research means to further its practical, political acceptance by using the results obtained from research, means fighting for her autonomisation in terms of contributing to the creation of appropriate forms of sociability for its activities and reception (such as the formation of a reading public, discussion forums, effective tools with which to combat social barriers to the attainment of knowledge, etc.). ; The article concentrates on the most essential elements of a social science as research, whereby research is strictly interpreted as the verification of a theory in a particular field but neither as "theorie sans terrain" nor "terrain sans theorie".
