DIAZ CANO, Eduardo; MARTIN-CABELLO, Antonio  and  GARCIA MANSO, Almudena. Travel in the life and work of Max Weber. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2021, vol.83, n.4, pp.929-959.  Epub Dec 13, 2021. ISSN 2594-0651.

This paper deals with an aspect of Max Weber’s life that is overlooked in the scientific literature: his experience as a traveler. His work has often been analyzed from a biographical, social or cultural point of view, with travel relegated to the background. Today, as the role of traveling in cultural creation has been reappraised, it has gained ground as an object of systematic study. Accordingly, the paper aims to understand Weber’s work in relation to his trips. It presents a lifecourse arranged along four major stages: education, work, illness, and creative rest.

Keywords : history of sociology; life-stories; traveling and working; Weber.
