Abstract

Este artículo se centra en mostrar las influencias foráneas presentes en los postulados de la houser Catherine Bauer (1905-1964) y cómo enriquecieron su discurso intelectual en el contexto de las redes internacionales del urbanismo y de la vivienda. Su nombre es sinónimo de vivienda social en Estados Unidos, pues dedicó toda su vida a institucionalizar las políticas públicas de vivienda a través del asesoramiento político, la acción propagandística y la praxis académica. Sus relaciones nos ayudan a comprender su adscripción a un determinado grupo o campo de ideas, lo que nos permite examinar la coherencia entre sus intenciones y sus acciones. Las reflexiones más destacadas de sus viajes transnacionales propiciaron que pasara de la consideración de la vivienda como un objeto arquitectónico a entenderse como un elemento aglutinador de la comunidad social en la década de 1930 y a una síntesis holística planteada como un proceso socioeconómico global a partir de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este discurso se vio bruscamente interrumpido con su fallecimiento en 1964.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-26:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 4 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.5.
