%X this article offers a reflection on the constitution of the sociology of art field in latin america. in the first part, by means of a short overview of the central areas of interest of sociological activity on our continent, the author points out a relative absence of the arts as a specific area of sociological research. in the second part, a variety of theoretical positions which have marked recent debates on the sociology of art (heinich, p¨¦quignot, leenhardt, esquenazi) are discussed with a view to giving deeper meaning to the pertinence of sociological analysis of the arts. starting from the idea that works of art form a rich source of knowledge about society, this study aims to contribute to opening new avenues of research which bring together art and sociology.
