Full textAbstract:
C'est en tant que theoricien des processus d'evolution sociale a long terme que le sociologue allemand norbert elias (1897-1990) nous invite a reconsiderer la polarisation conceptuelle instituee dans les sciences sociales entre l'individu et la societe, une polarisation qui, parce qu'elle credite une conception de l'homme comme homo clausus, barre la voie a une nouvelle comprehension des processus d'interdependance sociale a l'oeuvre dans les rapports sociaux. Reposant la question du << socius >> et des modalites de son institution, c'est precisement vers l'elucidation de l'articulation entre les transformations des structures sociales et les transformations de la structure de la personnalite des individus que s'oriente son projet sociologique, la problematique pour le moins nodale du processus de formation de l'habitus social des individus occupant, des lors, une place centrale dans sa pensee. Ambitieux, ce projet appelle une redefinition du cadre theorique et conceptuel que se donne la sociologie, ainsi qu'un ajustement continu entre recherche empirique et construction theorique, l'etude diachronique et synchronique du changement social exigeant une approche socio- et psychogenetique des << faits sociaux >> devant permettre de ressaisir, dans son occurrence historique et dans son interdependance, cette double transformation dont la sociologie se doit de rendre compte.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an effort to apply Elias’s thinking on social development to the Chinese social situation. At first glance his account of the civilizing process would appear incompatible with this context, in that, after state formation with the Qin and Han dynasties beginning in 221 BC, Chinese civilization remained both stable and highly traditional for well over two millennia. It is argued, however, that closer scrutiny reveals a process that was merely interrupted for a considerable period. The traditional system relied upon a symbiotic relationship between local society and the centre whereby the centre remained relatively small and aloof, not interfering with local social relations, as long as local society provided the required taxes and labour. In this situation the state had the monopolies of both violence and taxation that Elias would look for, but left local society to its own devices primarily because it was already pacified. This self-reinforcing system was enshrined and codified in the Confucian cannon over the course of centuries from the Han dynasty.
Central control of the distribution of resources was eventually required to re-start the Chinese civilizing process, for this was the mechanism through which the local social structure would finally be altered. This only happened within the past century as the Chinese people struggled to grapple with their own ‘backwardness’ in the face of incessant Western and Japanese incursions. At this point the old system was toppled and replaced by progressively more aggressive central governments who saw as their most important task the destruction of the traditional social order in the interest of modernization. As the Chinese state consciously and forcibly took control of the distribution of resources at all levels of society, traditional social relations were stretched and warped, and the Chinese civilizing process re-commenced its long-stalled march toward modernization. This has been evidenced both by the dramatic growth in mobility and the rapidly extending chains of interdependence in the form of guanxi connections primarily during the Post-Opening period after 1978.

Sereva, Emilia Petrova. "Thinking with Elias about British independent funeral firms." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23428.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about using rather than applying Norbert Elias’s conceptual ideas, and its analytical procedure employs a ‘fair play’ approach to theorists and theory. This is put to use regarding British independent funeral firms by conceiving these as a figuration developing over the long-term, and exploring the accounts of funeral directors placed in dialogue with Elias’s ideas. The thesis examines how the key Eliasian concepts of figuration, sociogenesis, habitus and de/civilising processes play out in context, including over-time developments within the British funeral industry. Its focus is ‘thinking with Elias’ about such matters in relation to the everyday working practices of independent funeral directors. Chapter One introduces Elias’s key conceptual ideas. In beginning its ‘fair play’ analysis it discusses criticisms, debates and uses of his work and explores the substantive literature on death, funerals and the British funeral industry. Building on this, Chapter Two considers analytically the process of methodologically trying out potential approaches to thinking with Elias around one of his core ideas, figuration. Departing from Elias’s retrospective approach, it chases the independent funeral firm figuration as it unfolds in the present. Using figuration in thinking with Elias sets the stage for further analytical use of Eliasian concepts in subsequent chapters. Chapter Three explores how sociogenesis works by examining intersections and departures between the funeral directors’ accounts and the Eliasian view of long-term development. Regarding sociogenesis, the ‘actual’ processes of death-related social change were not of central interest to the funeral directors, who were more concerned with ensuring their firms’ persistence. Chapter Four engages with Elias’s ideas about habitus and the we-identities of the independent directors, shared belief and behaviour traditions within and between firms and the directors, and also sources of conflict. Core to this is the emphasis on traditions, although these are present-time ‘invented’ around the priority of remaining in business. Chapter Five presents Elias’s theory of the de/civilising process as his ‘bigger picture’ of social change, and its analysis engages and contrasts this with the independent funeral directors’ accounts of the bigger picture in discussing perceived trends. They respond to changes as these are unfolding, and explain over-time matters of stasis and change as they experience them in ways that challenge Eliasian thinking. Chapter Six discusses the main contributions of the thesis. In using theory and thinking with Elias rather than against him, I have aimed to be a fair player in doing sociology. First, my thesis recognises the importance of context and that how concepts play out in ‘real’ life will vary significantly. Second, in adopting a fair play approach, the thesis provides a detailed empirical example of how to evaluate theorists on their own terms by following in their suggestions and engaging with their ideas in contextual and reflexive ways. It has neither replicated nor reproduced an Eliasian study, but instead demonstrated how actually using it in a context will play out. Third, the thesis has used the Eliasian key concepts of figuration, sociogenesis, habitus and de/civilising in a present-day setting so as to examine how these unfold in the present and can be explored through people’s accounts. Fourth, it analyses the accounts of the independent funeral directors in a fair play way and establishes that their ideas work as theory, as exploring the dialogue between Elias and the funeral directors has shown. Overall, the thesis is a reply to Elias’s call for sociologists to think for themselves, engage with and expand upon ideas and settings to hand, and to pursue the actual processes at work in society.

O período de dominação do Nacional-Socialismo inaugurou um mal sem precedentes na História. As barbaridades cometidas pelo regime, destacadamente contra o povo judeu, provocaram uma ruptura com os todos os padrões morais, pairam no ar questões fundamentais que nos atormentam a todos, velhas e novas gerações: como a nação alemã civilizada fora capaz de deixar-se seduzir por uma crença tão delirante e criminosa como a de Hitler? Como foi possível o Holocausto ser perpetrado em uma sociedade desenvolvida, entre pessoas civilizadas? Com o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, em 1945, os alemães, derrotados, eram acusados de terem sido cúmplices dos representantes nazistas, responsáveis pelo extermínio de milhões de seres humanos indefesos. Diante da possibilidade de autoextermínio dos homens aberta pelo ideário nazista, a culpa alemã surge como uma marca aparentemente indelével de toda uma nação. Uma herança passada de geração para geração. Tão importante quanto entender como as pessoas mergulharam nos horrores do nazismo e da guerra é compreender como emergiram, como conseguiram superar o passado e lidar com a própria culpa. Para auxiliar-nos nesta investigação sobre a culpa alemã, convidamos dois grandes pensadores da existência humana do século XX que viveram aqueles tempos sombrios: Karl Jaspers e Norbert Elias. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The period of domination of the National Socialism introduced an unprecedented evil in History. The atrocities committed by the regime, notably against the Jewish people, caused a rupture with all the current moral standarts; promoted "the collapse of civilization". Even today, core issues that stun us all, old and new generations, still hang in the air: how could the civilized German nation be seduced by a belief as How could the Holocaust be perpetrated in a developed society, among civilized people? By the end of World War II, in 1945, the Germans, defeated, were accused of being accomplices of the Nazi leaders, who were responsible for the extermination of millions of helpless human beings. Faced with lf-extermination introduced by Nazi ideology, German guilt emerges as an apparently indelible mark of an entire nation. A legacy passed down from generation to generation. As important as understanding how people plunged into the horrors of Nazism and the war is understand how they emerged, how they managed to overcome the past and deal with their own guilt. To assist us in our research about German guilt, we invite two great twentieth century thinkers of the human existence who lived through those dark times: Karl Jaspers and Norbert Elias.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como tema a análise da abordagem sociológica desenvolvida pelo sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias (1897-1990). A teoria de processo e figuração desenvolvida pelo autor ao longo de sua vida fundamenta-se na relação funcional de interdependência recíproca que se estabelece entre os indivíduos vivendo em sociedade. Com essa postura, Norbert Elias transpõe o campo das dicotomias já determinadas, pois estabelece a priori uma relação de interdependência entre indivíduo e sociedade. Tal abordagem teórica tem por objetivo a construção de modelos de análise, empiricamente embasados, calcados em uma perspectiva processual, de longo prazo, onde se identifique, simultaneamente, as alterações na estruturas sociais, para que, assim, possa-se chegar a visualizar a direção de seu curso. Outro apoio conceitual ao modelo teórico, além da noção processual, é a idéia de figuração, esta consiste, basicamente, na compreensão das organizações sociais - famílias, escolas, cidades ou estratos sociais - como sendo formadas pelas relações de interdependência entre os indivíduos. Em uma figuração são analisadas as dinâmicas das inclinações individuais que levam várias pessoas a se unirem em formarem uma sociedade. Dessa forma, os sentimentos e padrões de comportamento individuais são levados em consideração em igualdade com a análise de macroestrutura social. Neste trabalho, cada conceito será tratado isoladamente, porém sem que se perca a relação entre eles. Isso se deve a uma escolha didática, para que fique claro ao leitor as especificidades seja da noção de processo, seja da noção de figuração, bem como a maneira que se relacionam. Considerando que os arcabouços teóricos e empíricos não nascem descolados de um contexto social e histórico, bem como são igualmente fruto de percepções individuais de quem os produz, este trabalho apresenta ainda uma biografia concisa de Norbert Elias
Abstract: This doctoral thesis is dealing with the analysis of the sociological approach developed by the German sociologist Norbert Elias (1897-1990). The process and figuration theory developed by the author during his lifetime is based on the idea of functional relations of mutual interdependence established between individuals living in society. From this starting point, Norbert Elias establishes a priori a relationship of interdependence between individual and society, transcending the field of predetermined dichotomies. Such theoretical approach aims at the construction of analytical models that are empirically substantiated and based on a long-term and process-related perspective. By identifying the changes occurring within social structures, it renders possible to visualize the direction of their course. In addition to the notion of process, the idea of figuration has been considered as part of Elias' theoretical model. This idea comprises basically an understanding of social organizations - families, schools, cities or social classes - as being formed by relations of interdependence between individuals. In a given figuration the individual penchants are analyzed that bring different people to come together making up a society. Thus, sentiments and patterns of individual behavior are considered in the same way as the social macro-structure is analyzed. In this work, each concept is treated separately, but without ignoring the relation between them. This is due to a didactical choice in order to clarify to the reader the specifics of the two concepts, process and figuration, as well as the ways that characterize their interrelation. Taking into consideration that the theoretical and empirical frameworks do not come into being detached from a specific social and historical context and, in addition, have to be understood as the fruits of the individual perceptions of whom has been responsible for generating them, this thesis presents also a short biography of Norbert Elias

Full textAbstract:
In public health working in a less medical and more preventative way by focussing on the wider determinants of health, inter-sectoral collaboration, and evidence based practice have been advocated as ways to raise the health status of the population. In recent years, the idea of contact with nature to enhance health has come to the fore as one way to tackle current public health challenges: for example, diabetes, overweight and obesity, chronic liver disease, hypertension and mental health problems. Yet little is known about how this idea has diffused through the interdependent figurations of researchers, policy makers and into use through the actions of people in local organisations. The processes connecting these interdependent figurations are complex and, in the case of contact with nature, are not well understood. This is the research problem this thesis seeks to address, that is to say, the evidence into action process of an idea. The theoretical perspective of Norbert Elias is used throughout the thesis to analyse the diffusion process of the idea. Elias’s work is concerned with long term processes in human history; in adherence with his approach to sociological inquiry a historical context going back more than three generations provides the backdrop for the empirical work. An examination of the context illuminated the significance of the decade of the 1970s onwards to the present use of the idea of contact with nature in public health; notably the shift in discourse about hazards, risk and threats from nature to one of health enhancement. Norbert Elias’s own thinking and discourse about contact with nature to enhance health is used as a touchstone for the analysis. The empirical data in the thesis is generated through mixed methods, principally bibliometrics and content analysis, to reveal the diffusion and development of the idea over time and to show the way that the idea is framed when used by researchers, policy makers and by people within organisations. An Eliasian approach to case study methodology is utilised. Sub-study 1 revealed that empirical research literature about the idea emerged in the 1970s and that the number of publications per annum increased year on year until 2005. The empirical research was generated by researchers located across several continents and from different disciplines. Early researchers into the idea investigated the psychological benefits whilst latterly epidemiological studies have come to the fore. Sub-study 2 showed that the idea was taken up widely by policy makers in four government departments in England from 2000, with a peak in 2011. There were more references to the idea in the policy documents of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs than other government departments; the references of this department took an ecosystem services stance. Sub-study 3 showed that during July to October 2013 and within Greater Manchester, 36 organisations were providing and/or promoting activities which involved the idea of contact with nature on their websites. Of these 36 organisations, 16 (44%) were conservation/wildlife based agencies whose use of the idea included the pursuit of their own agendas and purposes. ix An analysis of the results, using the theoretical perspective of Norbert Elias, shows the involvement of many figurations of interdependent individuals, and the long term, largely unplanned, and non-linear character of the diffusion process. The empirical findings reflect the transdisciplinary nature of the research, inter-sectoral collaboration across government departments within policy, and the adoption of the idea outside of the traditional health service. People and thinking from the environment sector have greatly influenced the diffusion and development of the idea, and their involvement has widened the scope and form of public health action.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’intéresse aux forces sociales qui président à la structuration des systèmes monétaires nationaux. À travers l’exemple de l’histoire monétaire et financière coloniale canadienne (1654-1871) il s’agit de comprendre la mécanique et la logique de l’uniformisation des pratiques monétaires de compte et de paiement sur un territoire donné, en particulier suite à l’immixtion et à la circulation d’une monnaie allogène - dollarisation -. Durant cette période on assiste à un « basculement comptable » de la socio-économie coloniale au profit d’une unité de compte privée et d’origine allogène, le dollar. Cette victoire du « privé » contre le « public » procède de la formation d’un puissant consensus sur la monnaie, qui s’apparente à une énergie sociale endogène dont il s’agit de faire la sociologie historique dynamique. Bâtissant sur l’acquis institutionnaliste nous nous concentrons sur les processus d’adhésion et de luttes sociales. Avec les outils offerts par la sociologie interdépendantiste de Norbert Elias nous proposons de penser la genèse historique des monnaies à partir de « régimes d’interdépendances » interne et externe au système monétaire. Enfn nous nous intéressons à la dimension qualitative de ce processus en regardant le rôle des sphères d’échanges, des conversions et des interfaces dans la circulation des monnaiesThis work focuses on social forces that govern national monetary systems structuring process. Using the example of the Canadian monetary history (1654-1871) it is to understand the standardization of monetary practices of account and payment in a given area, especially following the penetration and circulation of a foreign currency - dollarization -. During this period an « accounting switch » occured which saw a private and foreign unit of account - the dollar - replacing the official sterling english system. This movement proceeds from the formation of a strong private consensus on money which we assimilate to an endogenous social energy. We then build on recent institutional approach of money to make a dynamic historical sociology analysis of Canadian monetary history, focusing on social conflicts and collective trust building. Using Norbert Elias genetic and dynamic sociology we think the national monetary system building in terms of internal and external interdependances. We finally point out the importance of conversions and interfaces behind monetary circulation

Full textAbstract:
Nesta tese, traço as principais transformações ocorridas na percepção e sensibilidade sociais a respeito da violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes ao longo do século XX no Brasil. Em primeiro lugar, apresento a legislação nacional e os principais acordos internacionais (Convenções). Em seguida, discuto o contexto intelectual que reflete a sensibilidade dos diferentes períodos e que, de algum modo, acabou por influenciar as definições legais. Para tanto, analisarei algumas decorrências do positivismo na área médica e jurídica, as discussões em torno da prostituição e da polícia de costumes, sua atuação em conjunto com assistentes sociais e, por fim, a visão das organizações não governamentais e dos psicólogos. No capítulo seguinte, analiso alguns movimentos sociais internacionais ou ofensivas civilizatórias , cujo objetivo era combater a violência sexual, e seus desdobramentos no país. Por fim, resgato o que foi publicado em um jornal de grande circulação, O Estado de S. Paulo, a fim de identificar mudanças nas informações transmitidas ao público leigo (leitores), nos tipos de crimes sexuais noticiados e na abordagem ao tema. O argumento defendido é que a violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes não era um problema desconhecido do público leigo, tampouco de especialistas como médicos, juristas, policiais e assistentes sociais. Era, entretanto, entendido como um problema esporádico e relacionado a questões morais. Aproximando-se o final do século, nas mãos das organizações não governamentais nacionais e internacionais, a violência sexual passou a ser entendida como um fenômeno, algo recorrente e que deveria ser estudado, quantificado e analisado cientificamente. O que era noticiado casualmente passou a sê-lo recorrentemente, chegando às manchetes dos jornais. A dinâmica que engendrou essas mudanças é encontrada na diminuição da desigualdade na balança de poder entre os sexos e em um aumento na distância social entre adultos e crianças cada vez mais entendidas como pessoas com necessidades específicas e que devem ser protegidas e cuidadas. A abordagem teórica é a sociologia processual de Norbert Elias. A tese contém ainda um excurso referente às transformações no tocante à violência sexual na Irlanda. As diferenças e semelhanças entre as transformações ocorridas na Irlanda e no Brasil são utilizadas para elucidar os processos sociais que levaram o tema da violência sexual ao centro das atenções no último quartel do século XX.In this thesis, I describe the main changes in social sensibility towards child sexual violence in 20th century Brazil. First of all, I present the national law and the main international agreements in regard to sexual violence. Following, I will show some expert discourses that reflect different sensibilities over this topic and that, in some way, influenced legal definitions. In order to make this discussion, the following will be analysed: some influences of positivism in the medical and legal areas; some queries and opinions on prostitution and manners police; its work along with social workers; and, at last, the understandings of NGOs and psychologists. In the next chapter, I analyse some international social movements also called civilising offensives that intended to combat sexual violence, and its consequences in Brazil. Last, it will be shown what one of the most important daily newspapers in the country has published in this connection. Daily news will be used to discuss changes in the information published, in the kind of sexual crime depicted and how it is discussed. The main argument of this work is that child sexual violence was not an invisible problem to lay people nor to experts as physicians, people working in the legal system, police and social workers. Nevertheless, it was seen as an occasional problem related to morality. Towards the end of the 20th century, especially because of national and international NGOs, sexual violence came to be seen as a very recurrent problem and a topic that should be studied, quantified and scientifically analysed. What was occasionally portrayed in the media became a very common issue, reaching the head-lines. These changes can be explained by the shift in the balance of power between the sexes in favour of women and an increase in the social distance between adults and children, now understood as people with special need that should be protected and cared for. The theoretical approach is Norbert Eliass process sociology. The thesis contains also an excursus, discussing changes in child sexual violence in 20th century Ireland. Differences and similarities between what happened in Ireland and in Brazil will be used to discuss social processes that lead sexual violence to be a topic of great concern in the last quarter of the century.

This study is about the problem of violence on Norbert Elias’ civilizing process theory. It focuses on understanding how figurational sociology attempt to deal with criticisms through the concept of ‘decivilizing processes’. At the same time, it is demonstrated how this attempt develops a sociological explanation of the conditions leading into the emergence of Holocaust during Nazi Germany. In this way, it is discussed the consistency of Eliasian attempt to answering the question on the irruption of violence in the middle of the civilized world, its criticisms and its impacts on contemporary figurational sociology design.
Este trabalho analisa o problema da violência na teoria dos processos civilizadores de Norbert Elias. Particularmente, busca-se demonstrar como a construção da noção de “processos descivilizadores” tenta lidar com as críticas recebidas pela sociologia figuracional e, ao mesmo tempo, explicar as condições que tornaram possíveis a emergência do Holocausto durante a II Guerra Mundial na Alemanha nazista. Assim: “como a violência extrema pode irromper no mundo civilizado?” se constitui como pergunta inquietante para o trabalho tardio de Norbert Elias e também a questão norteadora da pesquisa.

Or, il a consacré tout autant ses efforts dans l’élaboration d’une théorie de la connaissance sociologique qu’à l’observation empirique de la réalité sociale. Réfléchir sur l’essor et la possibilité des sciences de la nature ainsi que des sciences sociales et humaines lui permet de poser les jalons d’une véritable sociologie scientifique qui servirait à orienter l’activité des individus vivant en société vers les lieux utopiques de la vie harmonieuse. Ses observations empiriques sur la société de cour et sur la dynamique de l’Occident ont servi à mettre à l’épreuve sa théorie de la société des individus, dans laquelle la société est comprise comme un processus configurationnel envisagé sur le très long terme. Cette théorie institue les principes fondamentaux de la « société ce processus », principes qui serviront de guide à ses réflexions sur la possibilité de la connaissance sociologique scientifique. Comme toute connaissance qui se veut scientifique se construit à partir des caractéristiques de son objet, je réponds en premier lieu dans ce mémoire à la question « qu’est-ce que la société selon Norbert Elias? ». Dans un deuxième temps, à partir de sa définition de la société, j’examine pourquoi il se sent autorisé à affirmer avec conviction que sa sociologie peut se qualifier de scientifique. Autrement dit, j’expose ce qui rend possible selon l’auteur la capacité à observer les processus sociaux « du dehors » de la société. Parce que là est le nœud du problème : c’est toujours de l’extérieur de la société qu’il est possible de l’observer scientifiquement. En analysant ces deux aspects, je réponds ultimement à la question « qu’est-ce que la connaissance sociologique selon Norbert Elias? ».

O percurso que nesta dissertação se pretende seguir consiste em buscar elementos no pensamento de Norbert Elias, principalmente em sua teoria do Processo Civilizador, aliando a
ênfase no caráter figuracional da dinâmica social (sem dicotomia entre indivíduo e sociedade, mas uma percepção de não separação entre ambos), para pensar sobre a constituição
emocional dos sujeitos em interação. Ao definir as emoções como aspecto-chave a ser mapeado na obra do referido autor, procurar-se-á direcionar um olhar especial sobre os pontos dolorosos do processo constante que é amadurecer, tornar-se um indivíduo autossuficiente no estágio em que vivemos da modernidade, lançando mão ainda de autores que figuraram entre os referenciais teóricos do autor alemão.The route that this dissertation intends to follow is to find elements in the thought of Norbert Elias, primarily in his theory of the Civilizing Process, combining the emphasis on figurational character of social dynamics (no dichotomy between individual and society, but a perception of not separation of both), to think about the emotional makeup of individuals in interaction. By defining emotions as key aspect to be mapped in the work of that author search will direct a special look on the pain points of the process constant that is mature, become self-sufficient an individual stage of modernity in which we live, throwing hand still authors who were among the theoretical frameworks of the German author.

Full textAbstract:
Quelle est la participation du sport au régime de mobilisation des cadres dans les grandes entreprises? A partir de cette question, nous soulignons certe les propriétés du sport dans son acception pratique (celle d'une mise en mouvement du corps) mais, au-delà, les propriétés du sport dans son acception pratique (celle d'une mise en mouvement du corps) mais, au-delà, nous entendons révéler le pouvoir mobilisateur de l'offie de services sportifs, entendue comme la possibilité pour les cadres de pouvoir s'y adonner. À la croisée de la sociologie du sport et du travail, notre recherche s' inscrit dans le sillage des travaux de Norbert Élias qui rattache la participation des sports - en tant que pratiques physiques - au con(Tôle de soi. Prolongeant son analyse, nous souhaitons montrer que l'offre sportive des entreprises du secteur tertiaire peut également contribuer au renforcement de l'autocon(rôle des cadres, même s' ils ne pratiquent jamais une activité in situ. Est ainsi mis en exergue le pouvoir symbolique lié aux services sportifs "offerts" par l'entreprise: les cadres peuvent en effet percevoir le sport comme un privilège distinctif et interpréter sa présence comme un don de l'entreprise. Le sport participe alors à faire naître chez ces élus de l'entreprise le sentiment qu'ils sont redevables des«efforts» que cette dernière consent pour assurer leur bien-être. En somme, ce don appelle un contre-don qui peut se traduire par un engagement supplémentaire des cadres au travail. Ainsi, à la lumière d'études monographiques menées chez Nestlé et Adidas, puis d' une enquête ethnographique chez Steelcase, nous montrons comment l'offre sportive les incite à s' investir corps et âme au travail tout en notant qu'elle est susceptible de générer une forme de violence symboliqueTo what extent is sport a motivating force for executives in big companies? Starting from this question, which is both preliminary and central, we will of course high!ight the characteristics of sport in a practical sense - a body in motion - but beyond this, we intend to bring to !ight the mobilizing force of the offer of sport services, meant as the mere possibility for executives to exercize. At the crossroads of sport and work, this research is in !ine with works by Norbert Elias, who links sport - as a physical activity - to self-control. Carrying his analysis on, we intend to show that the sport offer in companies of the service sector can also contribute to the strengthening of the executives' self-control, even though they never exercize in situ. The symbolic power linked to sports services~'offered" by companies is thus underlined: the executives can indeed see sport as a distinctive privilege and interpret its presence as a gift From the company. Sport thus contributes (0 creating among the company"s elect the feeling that they owe the latter for it "efforts" to guarantee their well-being. Ln short, this gift calls for a counter-gift which can take the form of further commitrnent by the executives to their jobs. Thanks to monographic studies led at Nestlé and Adidas, then to an in vivo ethnographic survey at Steelcase, we will thus show how the sport offer encourages them to invest their hearts and souls in their jobs, and in the same time, that it is likely to generate a form of symbolic violence

The comparisons between the ideas of Norbert Elias and Sigmund Freud have been the subject of several studies that stablish that there is a connection in the way both authors understand human societies. In accordance with the studies about the civilizatory process, Elias devoted himself to the search of explanations of how, within a civilized society like the one in 20th Century Germany, the existence of concentration camps was made possible. Our goal here is to beyond pointing out the presence of psychoanalysis in Elias theory of the Civilizatory process, to also show how psychoanalysis is present in its interpretation of the Nazi phenomenon. In order to reach such goal, we start from a detailed investigation of Elias’s work, from his approach to the historical and cultural context in which he lived and the conditions in which his writings were produced. Then moving on to a detailed study of the main aspects of his analysis of Nazism, until we come to the role of psychoanalysis as a possible axis for understanding the Elisian theory.
As analogias entre as ideias de Norbert Elias e Sigmund Freud já foram tema de diversos estudos que comprovaram haver relação no modo em que ambos os autores compreendem as sociedades humanas. Para além dos estudos sobre o processo civilizador, Elias se dedicou a busca pela explicação de como foi possível a existência de campos de concentração no corpo de uma sociedade civilizada como a Alemanha do Século XX. O nosso objetivo aqui é, além de apontar a presença da psicanálise na teoria do processo civilizador de Elias, mostrar como a psicanálise está presente também em sua interpretação do fenômeno nazista. Para alcançar tal objetivo, partimos de uma investigação detalhada da obra de Elias, começando por uma abordagem do contexto histórico e cultural em que viveu e das condições de produção de seus escritos, passando por um estudo detalhado dos aspectos mais importantes de sua análise do nazismo, até chegarmos à psicanálise como um eixo de compreensão possível para a teoria eliasina.

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette thèse est de contribuer à la compréhension du processus de reconnaissance internationale de l'œuvre de Norbert Elias. Le premier chapitre présente une synthèse des nombreux problèmes dits «théoriques» soulevés par l'objet de recherche. Li s'est agi principalement de compléter la théorie des champs de production culturelle par la prise en compte de la dimension «psychique » de la création scientifique et de l'espace transnational dans lequel toute œuvre de science humaine est inscrite. Le deuxième chapitre a pour objet d'éclairer la trajectoire de Norbert Elias entre son départ d'Allemagne en 1933 et le début des années 1970. On s'est efforcé pour l'essentiel de localiser le sociologue exilé dans le champ britannique des sciences humaines-sociales de l'après-Deuxième Guerre mondiale et de reconstituer la structure des réseaux dans lesquels il était inséré; parallèlement, on a cherché à mettre en valeur le fait qu'il bénéficia d'une reconnaissance souterraine aux Pays-Bas et en Allemagne dès les années 1950. Les troisième et quatrième chapitres ont enfin pour ambition d'éclairer les raisons pour lesquelles Ober den Prozess der Zivilisation a été pour la première fois traduit en France, avant d'y bénéficier, également pour la première fois, grâce aux historiens des Annales, d' une réelle reconnaissance publique. En ce sens, la réception française du début des années 197 a constitué un « tournant » dans le processus de reconnaissance transnationale de "œuvre éliasienne : on a essayé d'en cerner les soubassements et la dynamique évolutiveThe purpose of Ibis research is to contribute to the understanding of the process of international recognition of the work of Norbert Elias. The first chapter presents a synthesis of the many "theoretical" problems raised by the research topic. The aim was to complete theory of the field of cultural production by taking into account the "psychological" dimension of scientific creation and the trans-national environment where a work in the field of humanities is embedded. The aim of the second chapter is to enlighten the path of Norbert Elias from his departure from Germany in 1933 to the beginning of the 1970s. This chapter mainly focuses on the situation of Elias -who had to face exile in the field of British social sciences and humanities in the period after the Second World War and to piece together the structure of his relationships at that time; in parallel, this chapter shows that Elias had an underground recognition in the Netherlands and in Germany as soon as the 1950s. Finally, the third and fourth chapters aim at explaining the reasons why Ober den Prozess der Zivilisation was first translated in French after what the book could also for the first time benefit from a real public recognition thanks to the historians orthe Annales. Ln this sense, the French reception from the beginning of the 1970s makes up a turning point in the process of recognition of the Eliasian work: Ibis doctoral research aims at defining the underlying questions and the dynamics of its evolution

Resumo: A Saúde Coletiva brasileira delineia-se como um campo do conhecimento e de práticas multifacetado, estruturado a partir de três grandes eixos: a epidemiologia, o planejamento e as ciências sociais. As ciências sociais trouxeram para a área da saúde novas potencialidades a partir de marcos teórico e metodológico que possibilitaram novas reflexões, e foram fundamentais como geradores para uma reestruturação do ensino e da prática em saúde. Dentro dessa realidade e considerando a amplitude com que as teorias e idéias advindas das ciências sociais foram e são assimiladas pelo campo da saúde coletiva se torna fundamental conhecermos os profissionais que se institucionalizaram na área da saúde, que reconhecem a saúde coletiva como área de atuação profissional, e que tenham formação específica em antropologia, sociologia, ciências política ou ciências sociais. Para tanto, buscamos nesta pesquisa traçar, em todo o território nacional, o perfil dos profissionais que realizaram alguma etapa da sua formação nas áreas das ciências sociais, antropologia, sociologia ou ciência política, inseridos nas atividades de pesquisa, docência e extensão do campo da saúde. Os dados que nos permitiram criar a cartografia dessa área específica foram coletados a partir da Plataforma Lattes e da busca em sites de Faculdades de Medicina, instituições com programas de PG em Saúde Coletiva e Institutos de Pesquisa em Saúde Coletiva. A análise do material e a estruturação do trabalho teve como autores fundamentais Norbert Elias e seus conceitos de habitus social, habitus individual e configuração social e o estudo metodológico de Bruyne et al, e sua proposição da existência de uma metodologia ampla que englobe todo o processo da pesquisa. De modo geral, os elementos encontrados que foram fundamentais para traçar a cartografia proposta foram: escolha de cursos de graduação e pós-graduação permeada pelo recorte de gênero; regionalização das universidades que mais titulam no nível de pós-graduação; predominância de profissionais vinculados às instituições públicas com vínculos como servidores públicos, predominância das funções de docência e pesquisa; exercício de múltiplas atividades profissionais; multiplicidade de linhas de pesquisa
Abstract: Brazilian Collective Health can be outlined as a multifaceted field of knowledge and practices structured upon three great axes: epidemiology, management and social sciences. The social sciences brought new theoretical and methodological potentialities to the health field which allowed for a broader thinking and were fundamental to generate a restructuring of education and practice in health. Considering this reality and the broadness with which the theories and ideas taken from the social sciences were and are assimilated by the Collective Health field, it is important to identify the professionals who were institutionalized in the health field, who recognize the Collective Health field as a place for professional performance and who have a specific training in anthropology, sociology, political science or social sciences. Therefore, in our study we sought to establish the profile of the professionals, across the whole country, who performed some stage of their training in fields such as social sciences, anthropology, sociology or political science, and who participated in activities concerning research, teaching and extension of the health field. The data which allowed us to build the cartography of this specific area was collected from the Lattes Platform and by searching in websites of the Faculties of Medicine, institutions offering post-graduate programs in Collective Health and research institutions in Collective Health. The analysis of the data and the structuring of the study was based fundamentally on Norbert Elias and his concepts of social habitus, individual habitus and social configuration, and the methodological study of Bruyne et al and his proposition on the existence of an open-ended methodology which encompasses the whole research process. In a general sense, the elements we found and which were fundamental for creating the cartographic design were: the choice of graduation and postgraduation courses permeated by a gender focus; regionalization of the universities which award more postgraduate degrees; predominance of professionals linked to public institutions and with civil servants' links; predominance of teaching and research activities; multiple professional activities and a multiplicity of research themes

Full textAbstract:
This study combines moral panic with the figurational sociology of Norbert Elias to explore how climate change has developed as a social problem. The central argument is that,through combining the short-term focus of moral panic with the long-term focus of Elias, we can examine the interplay between planned and unplanned developments in both the perception and reality of climate change. The first part of the research consisted of discourse analysis of a variety of different texts from 1800 to the present. These were used to explore the long-term development of climatechange as emerging from an ecological civilizing process. The second stage of the research related these developments to moral panics, arguing that the emergence of climate change can only be understood by exploring the interplay between long-term processes and short-term campaigns. The third part of the research explored these historical developments at the individual level, examining the notion of individual ecological civilizing processes. 15 semi-structured interviews were undertaken with climate change ‘activists’ and ‘non-activists’, comparing how their biographical developments related to ecological civilizing processes and moral panics. The final part of the research compared climate change with five other empirical examples of moral panics, to explore the civilizing and decivilizing processes and civilizing offensives that occur before, during, and after the panics. The central aim was to demonstrate the complexity of moral panics, and to aid in the reformulation of the concepts of moral panic and decivilization. Through a synthesis of Elias and moral panic, as applied to the example of climate change, this study aimed to: critically assess the development of climate change; to reassess the concept of decivilization and the relation between civilizing processes and offensives; and to reformulate the concept of moral panic, including suggesting how moral panic research ought to be undertaken.

This thesis studies the Brazilian Protestantism as part of a long term civilizing figurational process as proposed by the German sociologist Norbert Elias. Such a process is producing cultic and extra-cultic habits exercised by practitioners of this religious expression. It was observed during the research that the initial and missionary Brazilian Protestantism had its 8 main missionary base in Campinas, later transformed into a missionary axis Campinas- Piracicaba. Currently Protestantism is definitely included into society and at the urban city of Campinas. In this study, it is found in a suburban Campinas born through a land invasion in 1997, self-appointed unofficially by the occupants as Parque Oziel (Oziel Park), several Protestant communities of origin. It followed the trajectory of incorporation of this area of occupancy and the ethnography and analysis of current habitus of evangelical adherents of this faith in the Parque Oziel.
Esta tese estuda o protestantismo brasileiro enquanto parte de um processo civilizatório figuracional de longo prazo nos termos propostos pelo sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias. Tal processo é produtor de hábitos cúlticos e extra-cúlticos exercidos pelos praticantes dessa expressão religiosa. Observou-se ao longo da pesquisa que, o protestantismo brasileiro inicial e de missão teve sua principal base missionária em Campinas, transformado posteriormente em um eixo missionário Campinas-Piracicaba. Atualmente o protestantismo está definitivamente inserido na sociedade e na paisagem urbana da cidade de Campinas. Neste estudo, encontrou-se em uma periferia urbana campineira nascida através de uma invasão de terras em 1997, autonomeada extra oficialmente pelos ocupantes de Parque Oziel, várias comunidades de origem protestante. Percorreu-se a trajetória de constituição dessa área de ocupação e a etnografia e análise dos costumes evangélicos atuais dos aderentes dessa fé no Parque Oziel.

This work make a reflective analysis on the work of the sociologist Norbert Elias, especially in its interpretation of the civilizing process occurred in Europe from the formation of European absolutist states, present in The Civilizing Process (1939). In the constitution of his Sociology, Elias brings an interdisciplinary proposal to sociologically analyze a historical object. For this analysis, the author makes use of freudian psychoanalysis. I tried to make this work, first an analysis sociobiographical Freud and Elias, addressing his intellectual formation, looking for a 'meeting point' of these two authors. Specifically, this site was the Frankfurt School, which had a very strong relationship between social theory and psychoanalysis, which influenced authors such as Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno. In his life, Elias comes into contact with Freud's work during the period he was in the city (1929- 1933), when he was assistant Karl Mannheim. The initial period of Elias in Frankfurt coincides with the release of Civilization and its Discontents, the great work in which Freud, even starting from a clinical assumption makes a great analysis of the social. Elias falls into a tradition of authors who used psychoanalytic theory as support for the construction of both theories in the field of Sociology and Anthropology. So we did a genealogy of this interaction and realize that it occurs almost simultaneously with the emergence of sociology, anthropology and psychoanalysis, with Freud himself one of the authors to make this interaction in works such as Totem and Taboo and Civilization and its Discontents, among others. Based on these works and concepts formulated by Freud to the ideas of 'superego', 'instinctual repression', Elias constructs his theory of the 'civilizing process'. This process, Elias tells us that is mostly based on a repression of affects and emotions process, which in Freud's language is the 'repression of instincts' which leads to the formation of the superego, our moral censor. For Elias this 'repression' occurs in two stages: first through an external coercion, with the emergence of feelings such as shame that path leads to internalization of these prohibitions causing individuals to self-control their emotions, such a rationalization process. When formulated his idea of 'civilizing process', Elias also postulated that this process is not unilinear and is not totally safe thus resulting in the idea of 'descivilizing process' that occur in situations such as wars and genocides and Elias analyzed in its The Germans work.
Este trabalho faz uma análise reflexiva sobre a obra do sociólogo Norbert Elias, especialmente na sua interpretação sobre o processo civilizatório, ocorrido na Europa a partir da formação dos estados absolutistas europeus, presente em O processo civilizador (1939). Na constituição de sua Sociologia, Elias traz uma proposta interdisciplinar de analisar sociologicamente um objeto histórico. Para tal análise, o autor faz uso da psicanálise freudiana. Nesse trabalho busquei fazer, primeiramente uma análise sociobiográfica de Freud e Elias, tratando de sua formação intelectual, procurando um ‘ponto de encontro’ desses dois autores. Concretamente, esse local foi a Escola de Frankfurt, onde havia uma relação muito forte entre a teoria social e a psicanálise, que influenciou autores como Hebert Marcuse e Theodor Adorno. Em sua vida, Elias entra em contato com a obra freudiana no período que ficou na cidade (1929-1933), quando era assistente de Karl Mannheim. O período inicial de Elias em Frankfurt coincide com o lançamento de O mal-estar na civilização, a grande obra em que Freud, mesmo que partindo de um pressuposto clínico faz uma grande análise do social. Elias se enquadra em uma tradição de autores que usaram a teoria psicanalítica como apoio para a construção de teorias tanto da área da Sociologia como da Antropologia. Portanto, fizemos uma genealogia dessa interação e percebemos que ela ocorre quase que simultaneamente com o surgimento da Sociologia, da Antropologia e da Psicanálise, sendo o próprio Freud um dos autores a fazer essa interação em obras como Totem e Tabu e O Mal-estar na civilização, dentre outras. Baseado nessas obras e por conceitos formulados por Freud com as ideias de ‘supereu’, ‘repressão instintual’, Elias constrói sua teoria do ‘processo civilizador’. Esse processo, Elias nos diz que está baseado majoritariamente num processo de repressão dos afetos e das emoções, que na linguagem freudiana é a ‘repressão dos instintos’ que leva a formação do supereu, nosso censor moral. Para Elias essa ‘repressão’ ocorre em dois momentos: primeiro por meio de uma coerção externa, com o surgimento de sentimentos como a vergonha esse caminho leva à internalização dessas proibições levando os indivíduos ao autocontrole de suas emoções, num processo de racionalização dessas. Quando formulou sua ideia de ‘processo civilizador’, Elias postulou também que esse processo não é unilinear e que não está totalmente a salvo surgindo assim a ideia de ‘processo descivilizador’ que ocorrem em situações como guerras e genocídios e que Elias analisou na sua obra Os alemães.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a sociogenetic investigation of terrorism that has been directed against Britain since the late eighteenth century. One of its most fundamental aims is to help lay the foundations of a figurational approach to the study of terrorism. Accordingly, I seek to answer two core and interrelated questions and apply the findings to develop an understanding of the processes and relationships that have contributed to the emergence of home-grown ‘jihadist terrorism’ in Britain. Those questions are: i) Under what figurational conditions have the concepts of terrorism and terrorist developed, in sociogenetic terms, since they were first coined during the first French Revolution in the late eighteenth century? ii) Under what figurational conditions do people act according to various designations of terrorism? In order to develop answers to these questions several kinds of terrorism figurations related to Britain are examined. The first three chapters are dedicated to exploring the research on terrorism that has grown in recent decades. Much of it fails to develop an understanding of terrorism that has sufficient detachment, and consequently can help, in some cases, to perpetuate terrorism figurations. Subsequent chapters move away from these mainstream approaches and show how terrorism figurations have developed in Britain from the time the concept ‘terrorism’ was first coined during the French Revolution. The core findings relate to how terrorism developed in antithesis to the concept of civilisation, and emerged as part of complex inter- and intra-state relationships and established-outsider figurations. As part of these processes, functional democratisation played a key role both in Britain and in Britain’s relations to other countries. Finally, I show that these processes have been central to the development of the habituses and identities of the July 7 2005 London bombers.

Au prisme des caricatures que ses détracteurs en ont faites dès la Restauration, parées après les « Trois Glorieuses » des couleurs de la vérité, la cour des Bourbons de France serait à la fois nulle, anachronique et ridicule. Cette condamnation rétrospective empêche d'appréhender la centralité des institutions domestiques et de la société curiale dans la France de 1814 à 1830. Instrument de légitimation du principe héréditaire incarné par la dynastie régnante, vecteur d'exaltation de sa prééminence et de mise en scène d'une royauté sacrale, la cour de la Restauration se doit d'être étudiée d'un point de vue internaliste, qui en retrace la généalogie, les modalités de recréation et les logiques de structuration. Si elle reproduit les règles de fonctionnement identifiées par Norbert Elias comme caractéristiques de l'Ancien Régime, la société de cour restaurée s'en distingue par la prépondérance, dans l'intime familiarité des Bourbons, de fidèles purs. « Arche sainte de la légitimité » et sanctuaire des traditions royales, foyer d'oppositions anti-ministérielles et d'une résistance, couronnée de succès, à l'ordonnance de réforme du 1er novembre 1820, destinée à la « nationaliser », elle cristallise l'assimilation des courtisans à une coterie irrémédiablement étrangère au peuple de France et contraire à ses libertés. Désavouée, en 1844, par le prétendant légitimiste, la cour de la Restauration est liquidée dès 1830 par le roi des Français, rapidement contraint, cependant, de renouer avec certains de ses héritages en curialisant la monarchie de JuilletAccording to the caricatures its detractors produced from the time of the Restoration onwards, adorned with the colours of truth after "the Three Glorious" Days, the Bourbon Court of France would be nothing but anachronistic and ridiculous. This retrospective condemnation prevents from understanding the centrality of Royal Households and Court society in France between 1814 and 1830. As a means to legitimize the hereditary principle embodied by the ruling dynasty, glorify their prominence and stage the scenario of a sacred monarchy, the Restoration Court must be approached from an inner view which traces its roots, the terms of its recreation and its structuring logics. Although it replicates the rules defined by Norbert Elias as typical of the Old Regime, the restored Court society differs from them by the predominancy of courtiers depicted as pure followers within the close intimacy of the Bourbons. An « Ark of legitimacy », a sanctuary of royal traditions, and a center of oppositions to governments, the Court overcame its nationalization through the reform of November 1820, but hastened the assimilation of the courtiers into a coterie, irretrievably alien to the people of France and hostile to liberties. Disavowed by the legitimist pretender to the throne, the Restoration Court was liquidated as early as the year 1830 by the King of the French, who nevertheless had to quickly come to terms with some its legacies so as to create the national Court of the July Monarchy

Full textAbstract:
Cette these tente de mettre a jour la genese d'une problematique sociologique de l'exclusion au travers des oeuvres de georg simmel et de norbert elias. En effet, les principes simmeliens et eliasiens de reciprocite d'action et d'interdependance entre l'individu et la societe peuvent permettre d'inventer et de developper une sociologie de l'echange, dans laquelle se combinent les diverses dimensions de l'apprehension des phenomenes actuels d'exclusion. Dans ce cadre theorique, il apparait alors que leur problematique de l'exclusion rassemble en son sein diverses categories de signification : "l'exclusion empirique", definie comme l'ensemble des phenomenes concrets et vecus de mise a l'ecart (sociale, economique, politique. . . ) ; et "l'exclusion ontologique", entendue comme la mise a distance de soi, necessaire a la formalisation des echanges entre les hommes. Dans ce sens, cette recherche tente d'articuler ces invariants humains pour degager et apprecier leurs degres et leurs modalites d'interdependance d'un point de vue sociologique. Il apparait alors que, pour georg simmel et norbert elias, la problematique de l'integration de l'individu au groupe, ou d'un petit groupe a l'ensemble social plus vaste, implique toujours et reciproquement la problematique inverse de l'exclusion. En outre, ces processus formels se trouvent accentues par les caracteristiques de la modernite, tant au niveau individuel que social. Dans cette perspective d'analyse, d'une part, la categorie ontologique de l'exclusion semble aujourd'hui revetir des formes exacerbees d'imposition ; et, d'autre part,elle semble parfois amplifier les logiques modernes d'exclusion empirique en accentuant l'ambivalence de positions que chaque individu entretient avec son groupe d'existence.

Cette recherche de doctorat est fondée sur la théorie de la civilisation de Norbert Elias, analysée et confrontée à toute une série d’auteurs et aux événements des XIXe et XXe siècle. Trois auteurs composent la grille de lecture critique du procès de civilisation qui est la notion clé de l’œuvre d’Elias : Friedrich Nietzsche, Emmanuel Kant et Zygmunt Bauman. Comment peut-on expliquer la violence nazie par rapport à la théorie de la civilisation? Un acte de barbarie ? Une folie collective ? Un processus non planifié ? Un événement rationnel mais aveugle de la modernité ?This doctoral research is focused on the Civilization Theory of Norbert Elias, analyzed and facing it with a number of authors and questions of XIX and XX centuries. Three authors compound the critical lecture of the civilization process which is a key notion of Elias: Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant and Zygmunt Bauman. How we can explain the Nazis violence in confront of the civilization theory? Act of barbarism? Common madness? Unplanified process? Or as a rational but blind event of modernity?

Full textAbstract:
Per discutere la teoria del processo di civilizzazione di Norbert Elias ho individuato un caso dove fosse chiaro fin
dall'inizio della mia indagine che mi trovavo di fronte a degli individui che appartenevano a due "configurazioni"
distinte. Ho scelto pertanto di studiare la nobiltà feudale friulana perché è una nobiltà suddita di Venezia, un principe
senza corte, e che a corte serve principi di cui non è suddita.
Concludo sostenendo che la teoria del processo di civilizzazione non prevede un fenomeno che, invece, accompagna
l'intero processo. I nobili friulani sanno sagomarsi con facilità a seconda delle situazioni ma non cambiano sul serio. È
difficile ad ogni modo teorizzare che relazione vi sia tra i cambiamenti "dell'economia pulsionale" e questa
disposizione ad adeguarsi ai contesti. Da un canto sembra che le pulsioni siano già sotto controllo, dall'altro pare che
non avvenga alcun mutamento radicale perché le biografie sono ricche di contraddizioni. S'è rivelato della massima
importanza comprendere quale fosse la verità minima nelle autorappresentazioni dei feudatari e dei cortigiani cercata da
Venezia e dai principi: apparire infatti è anche essere, mentre i numerosi esempi di comportamenti che infrangono gli
standard normativi costituirebbero infrazioni consentite.
In order to discuss Norbert Elias' theory about the "civilization's process", I've chosen the case of the friulan
nobility. This nobility belongs to two different "configurations": the republic of Venice as subjects and thè princes'
courts as courtiers.
I've realized that civilization's theory doesn't foresee a phenomenon strictly connected. The friulan nobles are able
to play successfully in different contexts but we don't know if they made a clear step on the civilization's way. On one
hand it seems that feelings are already controlied, on the other hand many biographies present strong contradictions and
the success of some careers depends for a precious skill in managing violence for the prince. But in any case, the guidecriteria
for my analysis was self-representation. By self-representation we can know what must not lack from
relationships between Venice and her feudal lords and between the princes and their courtiers, in spite of real
behaviours, because to seem is a little bit to be, and Venice and the princes were interested to this limited truth.

Full textAbstract:
Norbert Elias s’est laissé enfermer, malgré lui, dans la linéarité de ce qu’il a été contraint de reconnaître comme des mouvements de "décivilisation", tel l’holocauste. Pour le sortir de cette impasse, son outillage méthodologique a été complété, à l’aide d’une notion de discours inspirée de Foucault, en se focalisant sur ce qui se passe lors de la formation même d’une configuration, selon un schéma socio-anthropologique ("négociation" – "plateforme" – "discours"). La façon dont la configuration se met en place ou se défait, par une série de partages, constitue un devisement (mot repris à Marco Polo). Par delà les dispositifs de gouvernementalité (Foucault) qu’elle permet d’appréhender, cette méthode a pour ambition de répondre au problème, récurrent en philosophie, de la permanence et du changement. Répondant ainsi aux difficultés rencontrées par Elias, elle est appliquée, en seconde partie, à l’histoire de l’homme moderne, et aux recompositions qu’il s’impose sans cesse à lui-même"Le Devisement du monde" ("The description of the world") is the title of the book by Marco Polo. This term here covers a socio-anthropological method which combines the notion of "figuration" (Elias) and that of discourse (Foucault). This method is based on an analytical structure ("negotiation" – "platform" – "discourse"), which thus completes the tool bequeathed to us by Norbert Elias, by specifying how a figuration is set up or broken down, by a series of divisions. Allowing us to analyse certain measures of governmentality (Foucault), this approach also answers the problem of permanence and change, recurrent in philosophy. This forms the first part. Applying this tool, the second part reviews the history of modern man up to the recompositions which he applies ceaselessly to himself

Mathematics is one of the basic areas of knowledge for the development of human society and one of its characteristics is its ability to dialogue with several other areas of knowledge. Thus, the main purpose of this work is to relate the history of mathematics to some possible sociological factors involved in the XVII and XVIII centuries based on the concept of the civilizing process of Norbert Elias. For this, as a basis for a bibliographical research pertinent to the theme, we take the study model of the author Norbert Elias, in his work "The Civilizing Process", from the concepts of civilization, figuration and interdependence, to demonstrate the development of the History of Mathematics , Mainly in countries such as Germany, France and England, which were the study scenario to understand what would become civilization, as well as where several important mathematical contributions have been made today, such as those present in Newtonian physics, Algebraic treatment given by Descartes's geometry and Leibniz's formalism applied to the development of calculus. The facts listed in this study brought to the fore some mathematical contributions and their relations with the social contexts of their respective epochs.
A matemática é uma das ciências basilares para o desenvolvimento da sociedade humana e uma de suas características enquanto ciência moderna é a sua capacidade de dialogar com várias outras áreas do conhecimento. Assim, a realização deste trabalho tem como objetivo principal relacionar a história da matemática a alguns possíveis condicionantes sociológicos a ela envolvidos nos séculos XVII e XVIII com base no conceito de processo civilizador de Norbert Elias. Para isto, como base numa pesquisa bibliográfica pertinente ao tema, tomamos o modelo de estudo do autor Norbert Elias, na sua obra “O Processo Civilizador”, a partir dos conceitos de civilização, figuração e interdependência, para demonstração do desenvolvimento da História da Matemática, principalmente nos países como a Alemanha, França e Inglaterra, países estes que foram o cenário de estudo para compreendermos o que viria a ser civilização, bem com onde se deram várias contribuições matemáticas importantes para a atualidade, como aqueles presentes na física newtoniana, o tratamento algébrico dado a geometria por parte de Descartes e o formalismo de Leibniz aplicado ao desenvolvimento do cálculo. Os fatos elencados neste estudo trouxeram à tona algumas contribuições matemáticas e suas relações com os contextos sociais de suas respectivas épocas.

Resumo: Trata-se da investigação da roda de conversa como uma prática educativa, tal como se apresenta em um dado momento no tempo e as normas e regras que dela emergem. A prática da roda é um importante elemento de apreensão do processo civilizador que passou a sociedade ocidental e do autocontrole necessário aos participantes deste. Para observar os sinais e as marcas que uma prática educativa imprimiu nos corpos dos participantes deste "micro" processo civilizador que é a roda, parti do visível nos gestos e atitudes dos participantes da roda. A roda é, portanto, constituinte do processo civilizador maior, ou seja, em uma escala menor, é onde as crianças praticam e se educam para as relações sociais que exigem um grande autocontrole que é apreendido pelas crianças através de contenções externas de corpo e de fala. A roda observada possibilitou ainda que seus participantes exercitassem um conjunto de habilidades humanas necessárias à compreensão e interpretação do contexto social vivido, podendo posteriormente utilizá-las para agir sobre ela, proporcionando uma certa interação do aluno com seu processo educativo
Abstract: This study concerns the investigation of the circle of conversation as an educational practice, just as it comes in a specific moment in the time, and also the norms and rules of corporal contention that emerge from it. By means of what is visible in the gestures and in the body of the participants of the circle. I could observe in a smaller scale the signs and the marks that an educational practice printed in the participants of this "small" Civilizing Process that constitutes the circle. It is an imitation of that larger process, that is to say, where the children practice and they are educated for the social relationships that demand a large self-control, that the children apprehend first through external contentions of body and of speech. The practice of the circle facilitates its participants to exercise a group of necessary human abilities to the understanding and interpretation of the society, later on could use them to act on her, in the search of an active participation for the construction of a society indeed democratic

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates Australian rugby league participant violence between 1970 and 1995 through the use of figurational sociology, a body of thought pioneered by Norbert Elias. While figurational theory is the dominant
paradigm used, an interdisciplinary focus is adopted in order to negotiate the recognised weaknesses of 'Eliasian' theory, and to complement its strengths. Communication
studies, cultural studies and gender theory are interweaved with figurational sociology to analyse rugby league violence. Furthermore, through these theoretical paradigms, important wider social and cultural issues are taken into account including the commodification of
Australian rugby league, the media framing of State of Origin rugby league as a 'sports mediated product', and the role violence plays both within the construction of masculine identities in rugby league and in the wider 'gender order' . These social and cultural issues are evaluated to gain an adequate understanding of the structural and interpersonal interrelationships constituting the social phenomenon of rugby league violence. The central finding of this thesis is that there
is a processual shift from more to less illegitimate violence in Australian rugby league between 1970 and 1995.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose une démonstration critique de l'œuvre d'Alexander Wendt. On mettra en lumière la généalogie de sa pensée qui se retrouve en théorie sociale et en relations internationales. Ainsi, on peut dire que la théorie wendtienne, loin d'apporter une réponse au traditionnel débat agency-structure, met en réalité en évidence le problème fondamental posé par les termes mêmes de ce débat. La volonté affichée par Wendt de synthétiser les deux approches co-déterministes que sont le constructivisme et le réalisme critique, démontre notamment l'impasse théorique d'un tel mode de pensée. Une reformulation sémantique des termes du débat apparaît nécessaire d'où le développement de concepts tels que le processus, relations, habitus et configurations issus de la pensée éliasienne.Nous proposons également de faire une reconstruction de la théorie wendtienne qui se fonde en grande partie sur la sociologie relationniste ou sociologie des processus développée par Norbert Elias. Une approche relationniste permet de mettre l'emphase sur caractère processuel de toute réalité sociale. On évite ainsi les réifications si courantes dans la pensée sociale traditionnelle. Par ailleurs, afin de comprendre et d'expliquer la politique internationale, il faut travailler sur la longue durée, seule façon de voir l'évolution (souvent lente) des processus sociaux. Enfin, avec Elias, nous réintégrons une dimension psychologique à la compréhension de la politique internationale au travers du concept d'habitus qui se révèle à la fois social et psychique. Il y a donc une discussion sur le rôle des émotions, des affects et de leur autocontrôle dans le rapport à la violence sur la scène internationale. L'ultime objectif s'avère d'humaniser, de socialiser et d'historiciser les théories des relations internationales.

Assim, escolho um entre muitos caminhos possíveis, ou seja, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as características humanísticas e as concepções e bases filosóficas presentes no sistema de pensamento de Norbert Elias. Isto ocorreu por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, com obras que relatam o modo de seu pensamento e, por fim, pelos interpretes que servem de auxilio, fonte de confronto de informações e ideias para compreender a teoria e o sistema de pensamento de Elias. O percurso que será seguido é o de discorrer sobre o tipo de humanismo presente nas obras de Elias. A seguir, encontrar as bases e concepções filosóficas tentando contrapor, comparar e legitimar, utilizando as leituras realizadas pelos interpretes com o intuito de decodificar o sistema do pensamento de Elias e, por conseguinte, buscar as características humanísticas presentes em suas obras. Em suma, este trabalho pretende mostrar que o pensamento do sociólogo alemão Norbert Elias possui características humanísticas que permeiam as suas obras e consequentemente o seu modo de pensar, podendo assim afirmar que ele é um humanista na concepção filosófica. Embora aderimos à concepção de que, no limite, a Filosofia da Educação é uma antropologia filosófica e nos remetamos ao humanismo, não tomamos essa definição e esse tema como um meio de identificar, de antemão, a concepção de Elias, ou de pré-concebê-la; ao contrário, tencionamos priorizar, como objeto, a própria obra do autor, produzida entre 1930 e 1990. Por meio da interpretação dos textos selecionados, reconstituiremos sua concepção humanística, identificando as suas fontes filosóficas.
Norbert Elias’s work allows various analyses and interpretations and authors are used to analyzing and exploring it based on distinct theoretical points of reference.Thus, I have chosen one among the many possible ways, that is, this research was carried out to analyze the humanistic features and the philosophical concepts and bases found in Norbert Elias’s thought system. That was accomplished by means of bibliographical research, with works which mention the mode of his thinking and, finally, by the interpreters who serve as aid, source of confrontation of information and ideas in order to understand Elias’s theory and thought system. The course to be followed is to run through the type of humanism found in Elias’s works. Afterwards, to find out the philosophical bases and concepts trying to oppose, compare, and justify the readings carried out by those interpreters in order to decode Elias’s thought system and, consequently, seek the humanistic features found in his works.In short, this research was carried out to show that the thought of the German sociologist Norbert Elias presents many humanistic features which permeate his works and, consequently, his way of thinking, and one could even confirm that he is a humanist in his philosophical conception. Although we agree with the idea that, within compass , Philosophy of Education is a philosophical anthropology and we refer to humanism, we neither take that definition and that subject as a means to previously identify Elias’s concepts, nor preconceive it; on the contrary, we intend to give priority, as subject, to the author’s own work, written from 1930 to 1990. By interpreting selected texts, we will re-establish his humanistic conception, identifying his philosophical sources.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se compose de deux parties. La première s’inspire des travaux de Norbert Elias. On y montre en quoi l’habitus des jeunes français est marqué par une opposition entre les logiques de court terme et de long terme (dépendance au statut social et pression à la réussite) menant à une « esquive » du politique, une défection sans prise de parole au sens d’Hirschman. Les comportements d’« esquive » du politique sont l’utilisation marquée d’internet par rapport à des pays similaires, les teufs et une faible participation au politique qui s’opère par des pratiques éphémères. La seconde partie est consacrée au conformisme dans la sphère privée et à sa relation avec l’« esquive » du politique. Notre hypothèse était la suivante : être en accord avec son réseau proche est satisfaisant et la capacité à s’opposer à son influence est favorisée par une plus grande satisfaction générale ou dans certaines activités. La méthode utilisée a été celle de Glaser et Strauss : la théorie ancrée. Pour ces deux auteurs, la comparaison de populations suffisamment différentes permet de produire de la théorie. L’objet choisi a été le téléphone portable et trois populations ont été interviewées entre mars 2010 et avril 2011. Trois processus permettent d’expliquer la capacité d’opposition dans la sphère privée. En les combinant, on observe seulement trois exceptions que l’on peut expliquer : les processus sont des causes ou des manifestations de l’« esquive » du politique. Compte tenu du faible nombre d’exceptions et des données au niveau macro, on peut s’interroger sur la capacité d’opposition des jeunes français, non seulement dans la sphère publique mais aussi dans la sphère privéeThis thesis consists of two parts : Part I was inspired by the work produced by Norbert Elias. It shows how the habitus of French young people is marked by the conflict between short-term and long-term logics (dependency to social status and the pressure for success) leading to a “dodging” of politics, an ‘exit without voice’ in reference to Hirschman. The behaviors associated with this “dodging” of politics consist in over-using the Internet (in comparison with same populations in similar countries), heavy partying and seldom taking part in political life through short-running commitments. Part II is about conformism in the private sphere and how this relates to the “dodging” of politics. My hypothesis was that being consistent with one’s closest network is satisfying and the ability to oppose its influence is favored by a higher degree of general satisfaction, or satisfaction in some activities. Glaser and Strauss’s grounded theory method was used : to its authors, comparing populations showing sufficient dissimilarities allows to produce theoretical conclusions. The object chosen was the cell phone, three different populations got interviewed from March 2010 till April 2011. Three processes can explain the ability for an individual to oppose within the realm of privacy. When they were combined, only three exceptions can be noticed and could be explained : these processes are in fact causes or manifestations of the “dodging” of politics. Considering the small number of exceptions and the macro level data, questions arise about the ability of French young people to oppose, not only in the public sphere, but also in the private sphere

Full textAbstract:
Au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, nous assistons à un changement profond des habitudes et des sensibilités dans le domaine musical. Une modernité musicale se met progressivement en place autour de trois révolutions majeures : celle de l'écriture musicale, celle de l'écoute musicale et celle de l'esthétique musicale. Ces trois révolutions sont appréhendées à la lumière d’un processus de rationalisation (Max Weber) et d’un processus de civilisation (Norbert Elias), ce qui permet d'articuler analyse sociologique et historique des fondements sociaux et symboliques de la « forme symphonique ». Avec la construction lente et progressive d’une nouvelle grammaire musicale, c’est-à-dire d’une nouvelle formulation des modalités de l’expérience musicale, s’imposent un nouveau régime de création musicale ainsi qu’un nouveau mode d’exposition des œuvres musicales. Les sujets de l’expérience musicale, face à des œuvres toujours inachevées, donc face à des dispositifs toujours renouvelés, peuvent dans cette modernité musicale partager leur écoute. Pour comprendre cette modernité musicale, il faut l’inscrire dans le développement de deux matrices ambivalentes, un imaginaire démocratique (idéalisation de l’égalité) et un imaginaire romantique (idéalisation d’un sujet transcendant). En formulant un nouvel usage et une nouvelle fonction de l’œuvre musicale, la forme symphonique traduit sur un mode esthétique l’une des ambivalences fondamentales de la modernité

Para tanto, a presente pesquisa utiliza a teoria sociológica de processos em Norbert Elias como “ponte” entre a teoria social contemporânea e a área de pensamento social no Brasil. Assim, o personalismo, em vez de traço cultural singular, passa a ser repensado como um padrão de sentimento, pensamento e ação retirado de um fundo social e coletivo de conhecimento da realidade brasileira. Esta releitura eliasiana de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda oferece, às atuais abordagens sobre a democratização no Brasil, um modelo sociológico focado em investigar como alterações de longo prazo, tanto na estrutura social quanto na estrutura de personalidade, promovem processos específicos de democratização.
This is a critical reflection of the current models of reading about democracy in Brazil, from an articulation between Norbert Elias´s theory of social processes and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda´s concept of personalism. Therefore, this research uses the sociological theory of processes in Norbert Elias as a bridge between contemporary social theory and the area of social thought in Brazil. Thus, instead of personalism like singular cultural trait, becomes a concept rethought as a pattern of emotion, thought and action, that is taken from a social and collective fund of knowledge, and that belongs to Brazilian reality. This retelling of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda by Norbert Elias offers to the current approaches to democratization in Brazil a sociological model focused on investigating how long-term changes in both social and personality structure, promotes specific processes of democratization.

Com a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil (1988), a intersetorialidade imprimiu nas políticas públicas de educação e seguridade social uma construção e uma operacionalidade mais articuladas e interdependentes. Entre as leis e portarias interministeriais, destaca-se o Programa Benefício de Prestação Continuada na Escola, que atende pessoas com deficiência de zero a dezoito anos de idade. Nesta pesquisa, questionam-se as interfaces entre as políticas públicas da educação especial e da seguridade social. São objetivos da pesquisa: analisar as interfaces das políticas públicas sociais – educação especial e seguridade social – no que se refere à garantia de direitos à educação de crianças com deficiência ou Transtornos Globais do Desenvolvimento, entre zero e cinco anos, no município de Vitória, Estado do Espírito Santo; identificar como se configuram as interdependências entre profissionais da educação especial e da seguridade social e os familiares (pais ou responsáveis) dessas crianças perante seus processos educacionais; compreender os diferentes movimentos entre as instituições de educação e da seguridade social e suas implicações para a inclusão escolar das crianças com deficiência ou Transtorno Global do Desenvolvimento; analisar como os profissionais da educação e da seguridade social lançam perspectivas para os processos de inclusão escolar e estabelecem diálogo com a família acerca da educação dessas crianças. Esta é uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, estudo de caso com coleta de dados empíricos e bibliográficos, na qual foram sujeitos: mães de três crianças de três Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil de Vitória; professoras da sala de atividades e de educação especial, pedagogas e diretoras; técnicos das Secretarias Municipais de Vitória: Educação, Saúde e Assistência Social e do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social. As técnicas empregadas para coleta de dados foram a entrevista o grupo focal e o diário de itinerância. Foram procedimentos adotados para o registro dos dados a audiogravação de entrevistas e de grupos focais e anotações em diário de itinerância. Os dados foram organizados em cinco categorias de análise, produzidas por meio das narrativas dos familiares e dos profissionais participantes da pesquisa. Os conceitos de Norbert Elias, interdependência e configuração, relação de poder – estabelecidos e outsiders –, processos sociais e relação entre sociedade e Estado (balança do poder) contribuíram para compreender os dados, por serem observados nas categorias produzidas. Os resultados apontam para a fragilidade de Global do Desenvolvimento, no município de Vitória. Revelam, ainda, uma inconsistência de fluxos de referência e contrarreferência e lacunas na dimensão técnica e operativa para as interfaces das políticas públicas intersetoriais com práticas profissionais que cumpram o papel político conforme outorga a legislação federal e municipal. As considerações se ampliam para discussões entre o instituído e o instituinte – políticas públicas e práticas profissionais – que priorizem a efetivação da intersetorialidade diante das demandas do público investigado com vista à garantia dos direitos de acesso a uma educação de qualidade.
With the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Brazil (1988), the intersectoral relationship between public education and social security policies has resulted in a more articulated and interdependent construction and operationality of these areas. Among the interministerial laws and decrees, a programme which stands out is the Benefit of Continuous Support Programme in the School, which serves people with disabilities aged zero to eighteen years old. This research will investigate the interfaces between the public policy of special education and social security. Its objectives were defined in the following ways: to analyze the interfaces of public social policies – particularly education and social security – with regard to ensuring rights to education for children with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders, aged zero to five years old, in the municipality of Vitória, state of Espírito Santo; to identify how the interdependencies are comprised between special education and social security professionals and family (parents or guardians) of children before their educational processes; to understand the different movements between educational and social security institutions and their implications for school inclusion of children with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders; to analyze how education and social security professionals release outlooks for the processes of school inclusion and establish dialogue with the family about the education of these children. This is a qualitative research with the collection of empirical and bibliographic data, in which the subjects were: the mothers of three children in three Municipal Child Education Centers in Vitória – ES, the activity and special education room teachers; pedagogues and directors, and technicians from the following Municipal Departments in Vitória: Education, Health and Social Assistance, and the National Social Security Institute. The following techniques used for data collection were: interviews (semi-structured interview script), focus groups (triggering questions) and notes in roaming journals. The procedures for analysis occurred through audio recording of interviews and focus groups and notes in roaming journals. The data was organized into five different analytical categories produced through narratives of family members and professionals participating in the research. Norbert Elias´ concepts of interdependence and configuration, interface and power – established and outsiders – of social processes and of the relationship between society and the State (balance of power) contributed to the understanding of the data and also to the order of the categories which have been produced. The results point out the weakness of coordination mechanisms between the various sectors involved in the educational process of children aged zero to five years old, with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders, in Vitória – ES. It unveils yet an inconsistency of reference flows and counter reference and gaps in the technical and operational dimension to the interfaces of intersectoral public policies, with professional practices that meet the political role, as granted by the federal and municipal legislation. The considerations extend to discussions between the instituted and instituting – public policies and professional practices – that prioritize the effectiveness of intersectoriality before the demands of the investigated public with a view to guaranteeing the rights to an educational processes of quality.

Full textAbstract:
Le discours olfactif en France se conclue par la subjectivité individuelle et la relativité culturelle : tout individu comme toute culture développe son penchant olfactif différencié. La problématique consiste à étudier si la personnalité autocontrainte et égocentrique de l'individu moderne explique la formation du récit, et si le déséquilibre de la personnalité moderne est dû à l'ascension inaccessible au pouvoir dans la société égalitaire et étatique de nation centralisée et monopolisée en concurrence avec la société globalisée du marché. L'approche comparative tente d'explorer la diversité et la généralité de cette personnalité autocontrainte et égocentrique, et si la dimension relativiste du récit est une expression nationale française et/ou universaliste eurocentrique. Les études empiriques appuyées sur la société du parfumeur français démontrent que la différenciation personnalisée individualise la sensibilité olfactive ; celles appuyées sur la société du maître de l'art de l'encens au Japon illustrent que la différenciation individuelle est l'expérience social générale, mais se démarque par le processus de la formation de l'état-nation. L'expérience de ce processus au Japon ne correspond pas entièrement aux hypothèses éliasiennes ; l'influence de l'occidentalisation ne configure pas de la même manière l'individualité que l'européanisation ou la colonisation. L'hypothèse éliasienne que le soi à autrui de l'individu-joueur, d'après le modèle de jeux, anticipe son avenir, est une théorisation de généralité mais objectivée de l'expérience de la formation étatique en Europe Occidental.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail propose un ensemble d’analyses sociogénétiques et psychogénétiques, fondées sur les sociologies de la connaissance de Norbert Elias et Günter Dux, portant sur les conséquences qui découlent de l’utilisation de causes premières dans l’explication des phénomènes du monde. L’enjeu de l’analyse, en termes généraux, a consisté en rendre visible le fait que la structure de la logique, en tant que produit des processus psychogénétiques, et lorsqu’elle n’a pas été réorganisée en termes systémiques par les transformations sociogénétiques de la modernité, a conduit dans le passé de nos sociétés à revêtir les causes premières de caractéristiques subjectives. Le concept de « nature » dans l’Allemagne du XVIIIe siècle, forgé et utilisé par la philosophie et le naturalisme, en est un exemple clair. Nous illustrons à travers nos analyses le fait que, grâce à la structure de la logique, la « nature » était « créatrice » dans la vision du monde des membres de la société allemande de l’époque, c’est-à-dire, une entité dotée d’intentionnalité et de capacité d’action.À la croisée de la sociologie de la connaissance et de l’épistémologie historico-génétique, l’enquête porte, dans un premier temps, sur la place occupée par le concept de « nature » dans les systèmes philosophiques d’Emmanuel Kant et de Johann Herder, afin de retrouver son fondement subjectiviste et les limitations qu’il imposait, à l’époque, à la construction de l’explication séculaire de l’esprit. Puis, dans un deuxième temps, nous illustrons quelques transformations importantes de la structure de la logique, tant dans la théorie biologique et psychologique du XIXe siècle que dans la psychologie et la sociologie du XXe siècle, ayant conduit à l’exploration systémique de la cognition à travers le concept de « psychogenèse ». Ces éclaircissements instaurent la possibilité, selon nous, d’envisager la construction de modèles scientifiques ayant comme but, entre autres, de surmonter l’opposition « nature/culture » qui affecte de nos jours la théorie de la connaissanceThis work proposes a set of socio and psychogenetic analyzes, based on the sociologies of knowledge of Norbert Elias and Günter Dux, on the consequences that arise from the use of primary causes in the explanation of the phenomena of the world. Our challenge, in general terms, has been to make visible that the structure of logic, as a product of psychogenetic processes, has led in the past of our societies to invest primary causes of subjective characteristics, when it has not been reorganized into systemic terms by modernity’s sociogenetic transformations. The concept of "nature", forged and used by philosophy and naturalism in eighteenth-century Germany, is a clear example. We illustrate through our analyzes that, due to the structure of logic, "nature" was "creative" in the world view of the members of the German society of the time, that is to say, an entity with intentionality and ability to act.At the crossroads of historico-genetical epistemology and the sociology of knowledge, the inquiry begins with the place of the concept of "nature" in the philosophical systems of Emmanuel Kant and Johann Herder, in order to find its subjectivist foundation and the limitations it imposed, at the time, to the construction of a secular explanation of the mind. Then, in a second step, we illustrate some important transformations in the structure of logic, as much in the nineteenth-century biological and psychological theory as in the psychology and sociology of the twentieth century, leading to the systemic exploration of cognition through the concept of "psychogenesis". These clarifications establish the possibility, in our opinion, of considering the construction of scientific models whose aim, among other things, is to overcome the opposition "nature / culture" which affects today the theory of knowledge
