Abstract
A diferencia de los estudios clásicos, que parten de una concepción del
empresario como agente ya constituido, por ende deshistorizado, el presente
artículo hace una contribución a la comprensión de su génesis social y propone el
estudio de agentes que participaron de manera marginal en las actividades de
competencia empresarial impulsadas por la economía de mercado, para analizar
las fases de transición hacia el tipo de agente a posteriori identificado como
“empresario”. Partiendo de la premisa de que esa participación exigiría la
conversión al menos parcial de un habitus todavía vinculado a una sociedad y
una economía tradicionales (generalmente agraria y artesanal), se analiza un caso
relacionado con las industrias farmacéutica, en la región centro-occidental de
México en el periodo que abarca de la década de 1940 hasta la actualidad. El
estudio muestra que es preciso analizar los diferentes rasgos de dicho habitus
tratando de establecer cómo y en qué medida pudieron contribuir
diferenciadamente a dicha conversión y su papel en el cambio económico. Se
emplea el método biografico adoptando la perspectiva de la antropología
económica de Pierre Bourdieu
ABSTRACT In contrast to classical studies, which are based on a conception of the entrepreneur as an agent already constituted, therefore dehistoricized, this article aims to make a specific contribution to the understanding of his social genesis and proposes the study of agents that participate marginally in the activities of competition business driven by the market economy, illustrating stages of the transformation process that finished in the kind of agents lately identified as “entrepreneurs”. Starting from the premise that such participation would require converting the habitus still linked to a traditional society and economy (mainly agricultural and artisanal), aims to analyze the different traits of this habitus, trying to establish which ones and how contributed to such conversion and its roll in the economic change. The article is empirically illustrated with a case study involving the pharmaceutical industry inserted in the context of central-western Mexico in the period from the 1940’s to the present using the biographical method and adopting the Pierre Bourdieu’s economic anthropology perspective.
