    El presente artículo presenta una visión panorámica de los estudios sociales de la energía a la vez que introduce los artículos del monográfico. Se comienza presentando las razones que explican la progresiva visibilidad de las temáticas energéticas en la sociología, aludiendo al desafío que impone el cambio climático y la creciente atención de las ciencias sociales hacia la dimensión material de la vida social. Se propone entender la energía como un objeto de estudio de carácter esencialmente socio técnico, esto es, como un fenómeno que exige una aproximación que dé cuenta de los aspectos materiales, técnicos, sociales y culturales que lo constituyen. El artículo presenta luego diferentes áreas de investigación relevantes para el debate sociológico sobre la intersección entre energía y sociedad y su relación con las contribuciones al monográfico. Los estudios que se presentan no sólo tienen interés para la comunidad académica del área de la sociología, sino que pueden ser de utilidad para profesionales de la energía e investigadores de otras disciplinas interesados en abordar los aspectos sociales de la energía.

    This article offers a panoramic view of the field of the social studies of energy while introducing the articles of the special issue. It begins by discussing the progressive interest on studying the social aspects of energy. We relate this interest to the increasing challenges imposed by global climate change as well as the growing sociological attention to the material dimension of social life. The article suggests understanding energy and energy related phenomena as a socio-technical object which involve material, social, cultural and technical elements. The article then briefly describes different research areas concerning the intersection between energy and society and present the contributions to the monograph. We suggest that the articles comprised in this special issue are not only relevant for social scientist interested on energy related issues; they might also help energy professionals and researchers from outside the social sciences to further problematize the social aspects and challenges of energy.
