[ES] En las últimas décadas, diferentes autores han argumentado la conveniencia de describir los elementos fundamentales de las sociedades contemporáneas como fluidificados. Ello ha conducido a que se vaya elaborando un modelo teórico de la fluidez social, que necesita ser perfilado y completado. Este trabajo, que se complementa con una segunda parte, tiene como objetivo construir las bases necesarias para hacer empíricamente aplicable dicho modelo teórico. Para ello, se revisan los principales conceptos que las llamadas “Teorías de la Complejidad” han utilizado al modelar procesos complejos en otros campos de la ciencia; se señalan las limitaciones que estas teorías tienen a la hora de modelar la complejidad característica de la fluidez de las sociedades contemporáneas y se discute el modo como esos conceptos deberían ser modificados o ampliados para poder ser útiles en el marco de una teoría de la fluidez social
[EN] There has been, in the last decades, a bunch of different authors claiming the convenience of describing the most basic elements of current societies as fluids. As a consequence of this proposal, it began the construction of a theoretical model of social fluidity that still needs more accuracy and development. This paper, which is just the first half of a propaedeutic work, trays to build the necessary grounds for the empirical implementation of afore mentioned theoretical model. We start by reviewing the main concepts used by the so called “Theories of Complexity” in modelling complex processes in other scientific fields. Then we point out the limits that may be found in using these theories when modelling the specific complexity of current social fluidity. Finally we discuss how such concepts should be modified and developed in order to be useful in the context of a theory of social fluidity
