GUTIERREZ, Alicia B.. Theoretical and Methodological Tools for a Relational Analysis of Studies on Poverty. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2007, n.35, pp.15-33. ISSN 1851-1716.

As a result of theoretical and methodological considerations and empirical research, I present in this paper the general outlines for a relational analysis of studies on poverty, which I consider a rich perspective as far as they make possible the construction of tools suitable to approach the problem from all its dimensions, and specially within the context of reproduction of the society as a whole and of its mechanisms of domination. From the concept of social reproduction strategies, I postulate its relational character in all its aspects, and while emphasizing the resources of poverty, in special the social capital, I point out the analytical potentialities of each one of the above mentioned categories in order to give account of the problem.

Palabras clave : Sociological research; Poverty; Social reproduction strategies; Social capital.
