description In this article we reconstruct the meaning that assumes the problem of social order in the theory of generalized symbolic communication media proposed by Niklas Luhmann. The hypothesis that we develop states that in this theory a partial subordination of the sociological problem of social order to the question of the improbable conditions of possibility of control and/or regulation of action is produced. This is, the problem of power achieves prominence. We consider that this fact is observable in the context of the different valuations that Luhmann attributes to the contingency of action and their relations to the theory of social order. The proposed reconstruction becomes meaningful as it shows a form of the problem that differs from the sociological tradition for which the conceptual problem of order relates to the ways in which it can be conceived or explained but not in the difficulties related to their formation.

En este artículo reconstruimos el sentido que asume el problema del orden social en la teoría de los medios de comunicación simbólicamente generalizados de Niklas Luhmann. La hipótesis de lectura que deseamos elaborar es que en esta teorización se evidencia una parcial subordinación del problema sociológico del orden social al de la inquietud por las inciertas condiciones de posibilidad del control y/o la regulación de la acción en contextos de contingencia. Esto es, el problema del poder adquiere una inadvertida preeminencia. En lineamientos generales, consideramos que este desplazamiento se torna reconocible en el marco de las diversas valoraciones que hace Luhmann con respecto a la contingencia de la acción y de sus implicancias para la formulación de una teoría del orden social. La reconstrucción propuesta se torna significativa en tanto muestra una delimitación del problema que se encuentra en tensión con la tradición de reflexión sociológica para la cual el problema conceptual del orden refiere a los modos en que el mismo puede ser concebido o explicado y no a las dificultades ligadas a su formación.  Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2015-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos revisados por pares application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/10746 Astrolabio; No. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 121-143 Astrolabio; Núm. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 121-143 Astrolabio; n. 14 (2015): PODER Y ESTADO EN LA TEORÍA SOCIAL CONTEMPORÁNEA; 121-143 1668-7515 10.55441/1668.7515.n14 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/astrolabio/article/view/10746/12036
