Abstract

ABSTRACT: this article seeks to relate the anomic society described by the sociologist Robert King Merton with the legal paradigm of modernity, adopted in Latin American countries since colonization. The aim of this study is to rethink the law beyond legal technicality, in order to reconnect this field of knowledge with other sources of knowledge, such as philosophy and anthropology. We work with Merton's concept of anomie, since in anomic society the members of the less favored classes will always be conceived as dangerous and worthy of state repression. As for the 1988 Constitution, there is a criticism, since it has institutionalized meritocracy, without guaranteeing the initial need for equal opportunities. It is concluded that there is a need to typify new rights and subjects of law through the reformulation of the legal paradigm of modernity, as happened with the Constitutions of Ecuador of 2008 and Bolivia of 2009, in order to guarantee the cultural goals for all the population.
