Abstract
Este artículo es una reflexión teórica sobre el uso sociológico delos conceptos de familia y hogar como ocupantes de la vivienda. Se aboga por la redefinición del ocupante de la vivienda como hogar antes que como familia, superando así una concepción reduccionista que prima la importancia de la vivienda como espacio socializador de la familia antes que como escenario vital. Tal reflexión permite incorporar como sujeto de estudio al actor que envejece, que cambia, y que no manifiesta necesidades residenciales solo con base en el ciclo del hogar, sino en el propio curso de vida. Pero además reflexiona sobre las limitaciones de asociar de forma indisoluble la vivienda a la familia. Esta argumentación no pretende minar la importancia de la familia, sino reclamar el reconocimiento de la vivienda como un espacio continente mayor, que conciba la dimensión continua del hogar además de sus múltiples formas sin que sea necesaria una justificación: la vivienda no es importante (solo) porque cobije las funciones socializadoras-reproductoras de la familia, sino porque permite desarrollarla función de habitar, alojando a todo tipo de hogares.
This article is a theoretical reflection on the sociological use of the concepts of family and household as occupants of the dwelling. It advocates the redefinition of the occupant of housing as a home/household rather than as a family, thus overcoming a reductionist conception that emphasizes the importance of housing as a socializing space of the family rather than as a vital scenario. Such reflection allows to incorporate as a subject of study the actor who is aging, who changes, and who does not manifest residential needs only based on the household cycle, but on the life course itself. The article also reflects on the limitations of inextricably associating housing with the family. This argument does not intend to undermine the importance of the family, but to claim the recognition of housing as a greater continent, which conceives the continuous dimension of the household in addition to its multiple forms without a justification being necessary: housing is not important (only) because it shelters the socializing-reproducing functions of the family, but because it allows the development of the function of inhabiting for all types of households.
