description This article addresses how Saint-Simon´s work unfolds certain (re)classification strategies to account for the characteristics that organize and divide the actors in French society in crisis at the beginning of the nineteenth century. A series of theoretical-analytical tensions cross and link these (re)classification strategies. This implies an approach through two interconnected levels. On the one hand, we focus on the analysis of certain (re)classifications at different moments in his work: the logic of domination, by possession ‒or not‒ of property or knowledge; the forms of activity (industrial activity or useless activity), which legitimize the government or administration; the nationality of those who carry out these activities (“true French” or invaders); and the conditions of existence (poor or rich). Each of these sociological (re)classifications implies both a central conflict between different social groups and a political proposal for their overcoming. On the other hand, we analyze how each of Saint-Simon´s (re)classification strategies implies a theoretical-analytical tension: between the unequal distribution of knowledge in society and domination; between the “useless classes” in capitalism and pre-industrial activities; between social classes and the nation; and between the social issues and politics. In a section for each of them, we analyse the first three, combining them with certain controversies and re-readings. So, we trace a link between these theoretical-analytical tensions since Saint-Simon elaborates a new (re)classification strategy to “answer” each previous tension. In turn, each new (re)classification strategy involves both another social conflict between the groups that this (re)classification delimits and another proposal for overcoming these conflicts. Finally, as a conclusion, we focus on the theoretical-analytical tension between the science addressing social issues and politics. This allows us to take up the first three above-mentioned since the latter crosses them.

Este artículo aborda cómo la obra de Saint-Simon despliega, a partir de una serie de tensiones teórico-analíticas que las atraviesan y encadenan, ciertas estrategias (re)clasificatorias para dar cuenta de las características que organizan y dividen a los actores en la sociedad francesa en crisis de comienzos del siglo XIX. Esto implica un abordaje mediante dos niveles interconectados. Por un lado, nos focalizamos en el análisis de ciertas (re)clasificaciones en distintos momentos de su obra: las lógicas de dominación, por posesión ‒o no‒ de propiedades o saberes; las formas de actividad (industrial u ociosa), que legitiman el gobierno o la administración; la nacionalidad de quienes realizan esas actividades (“verdaderos franceses” o invasores); y las condiciones de existencia (pobres o ricos). Cada una de estas (re)clasificaciones sociológicas implica tanto un conflicto central entre distintos grupos sociales como una propuesta política para su superación. Por otro lado, analizamos cómo cada estrategia (re)clasificatoria de Saint-Simon trae aparejada una tensión teórico-analítica: entre la distribución desigual del conocimiento en la sociedad y la dominación; entre las “clases ociosas” en el capitalismo y las actividades preindustriales; entre las clases sociales y la nación; y entre la ciencia de lo social y la política. En un apartado para cada una de ellas, retomamos las tres primeras, combinándolas con ciertas controversias y relecturas. Así, rastreamos un encadenamiento entre estas tensiones teórico-analíticas, ya que Saint-Simon elabora una nueva estrategia (re)clasificatoria para “responder” a cada tensión precedente. A su vez, cada nueva estrategia (re)clasificatoria demarca tanto otro conflicto social entre los grupos que esa (re)clasificación delimita como otra propuesta de superación de esos conflictos. Por último, como conclusión, nos enfocamos en la tensión teórico-analítica entre ciencia de lo social y política. Esto nos permite retomar las tres anteriores en conjunto, dado que esta última las atraviesa.
