English to Spanish: Paragraph from a book already published General field: Social Sciences
Source text - English As a domain of knowledge and intervention, the social became prominent in the nineteenth century, culminating in the twentieth century in the consolidation of the welfare state and the ensemble of techniques encompassed under the rubric of social work. Not only poverty but health, education, hygiene, employment and the poor quality of life in towns and cities were constructed as social problems, requiring extensive knowledge about the population and appropriate modes of social planning. The "government of the social" took on a status that, as the conceptualization of the economy, was soon taken for granted. A "separate class of the poor" was created. Yet the most significant aspect of this phenomenon was the setting into place of apparatuses of knowledge and power that took it upon themselves to optimize life by producing it under modern, "scientific" conditions. The history of modernity, in this way, is not only the history of knowledge and the economy, it is also, more revealingly, the history of the social.
Translation - Spanish Como campo de conocimiento e intervención , lo “ social “ cobró importancia en el siglo XIX, culminando en el siglo XX con la consolidación del Estado benefactor y el conjunto de técnicas agrupadas bajo el nombre de trabajo social. No sólo la pobreza, sino también la salud, la educación, la higiene, el empleo y la baja calidad de vida en pueblos y ciudades se convirtieron en problemas sociales que requerían un conocimiento amplio de la población y modos apropiados de planeación social. El “gobierno de lo social” alcanzó un estatus que, como la conceptualización de la economía, pronto se consideró normal. Se había creado una “clase separada constituida por los pobres". Pero el aspecto más significativo de este fenómeno fue el establecimiento de aparatos de conocimiento y poder dedicados a optimizar la vida produciéndola bajo condiciones modernas y “científicas”. La historia de la modernidad, de este modo, no es solo la historia del conocimiento y de la economía; de modo revelador, es la historia de lo social.
