Norbert Elias

<p>Este trabajo presenta un panorama general sobre las principales aportaciones teóricas y metodológicas que legó Norbert Elias, mediante su desarrollo en tres momentos teóricos. Los ejes centrales se pueden sintetizar de la siguiente manera: 1) La investigación de periodos de largo alcance con sus modelos sociogenético-psicogenético, procesual y figuracional. 2) La incorporación de unidades empíricas de análisis a través de comparaciones diacrónicas y sincrónicas sistematizadas. 3) La integración de los ámbitos social-personal-biológico. 4) El estudio de las diversas manifestaciones de la coacción y la auto-coacción social como formas del proceso civilizatorio. 5) La inclusión de la comunicación, del lenguaje y del conocimiento, como puntos de partida para la comprensión del devenir de la humanidad. 6) Las relaciones de compromiso-distanciamiento y congruencia con la realidad social como medios de orientación y del saber. 7) La teoría del símbolo y el modelo del crecimiento del conocimiento humano. Desde la perspectiva eliasiana, podemos concretar que la propuesta de este autor va encaminada no solamente hacia la Sociología, sino, en general, a las diversas ciencias sociales, con el planteamiento de una teoría central de las ciencias humanas enfocada a devolverle al conocimiento su función de medio de orientación social y en la que recupera el carácter comunicativo del conocimiento.</p>

Com base na investigação dos discursos médicos referentes à higienização da infância, este estudo teve por objetivo problematizar a difusão da higiene na sociedade paranaense no período compreendido entre 1931 e 1949. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter histórico, inspirada nas ideias de processo civilizador de Norbert Elias. Os discursos que evidenciavam a missão de criar na infância local uma consciência sanitária com vistas ao progresso e a inserção do Paraná no cenário político nacional foram resgatados na Revista Médica do Paraná. Emergiram percepções de uma medicina com uma nova função social: educar e civilizar a infância, utilizando para tanto a estratégia da higienização.

AbstractThe specificities of national humor are often mentioned in humor research, but seldom explained in depth. This article concerns two studies, which reveal that Danish humor (as used in professional settings) is judged by Danes and non-Danes alike as ironic, self-ironic, sarcastic, and direct, with no limits or taboos. These characteristics of Danish humor are analyzed here using two different theoretical frameworks: linguistics – where an explanation is found in certain type-specific features of the Danish language, namely the dialogical particles typical of the Nordic languages in general – and the historico-sociological approach proposed by Norbert Elias. According to Elias, the mentality of a people has been molded through an ongoing historical process of civilization. The civilizing process specific to Danish society has engendered a “campfire mentality”, leading up to the egalitarian, consensual welfare state. Work relationships in Denmark are based on a horizontal, flat structure with low power distance, a structure for which management researchers actually recommend the use of humor, irony and self-irony. Finally, the specificities of Danish humor are linked to a low degree of gelotophobia, the fear of being laughed at, among Danes.

AbstractThis paper advances the recent debate among early modern French historians on the application of Norbert Elias by discussing how his approach to the problem of social encounters among individual members of a community can be applied to seventeenth-and eighteenth-century France. Drawing on various examples from history and literature, the article argues that Elias's approach holds much potential for this field, because it conceives social encounters and individual identities as forms of symbolic interaction through which patterns of inequality are reproduced among small groups and then replicated across the entire society.

Il saggio, nato da una conferenza sul tema della democrazia organizzata da "Attac", č una trattazione della questione dei processi di individualizzazione e disindividualizzazione in relazione all'impegno politico che ripercorre la produzione sociologica recente e attraversa le analisi di autori come Norbert Elias, Jacques Derrida e Michel Foucault. Particolare attenzione č rivolta al problema dei presupposti impliciti operanti nell'analisi sociologica e a quanto da essi deriva sul piano valutativo. L'autore, che propone un recupero critico della nozione di individualitÀ, mette in guardia da un lato rispetto a una considerazione atemporale delle categorie sociologiche e politiche, dall'altro rispetto alle riduzioni semplificanti dell'individualismo di cui sottolinea invece l'irriducibile complessitÀ.

Méthode Analyse

In dit historisch-sociologische onderzoek draait het om de samenhang tussen sociale en psychische processen: in hoeverre hangen veranderingen in het psychische functioneren van individuele cliënten samen met maatschappelijke veranderingen? Catelijne Akkermans probeert deze samenhang te duiden aan de hand van vooral patiëntendossiers (individuele psychiatrische geschiedenissen) van de Amsterdamse GG & GD uit de periode 1933-1988. De gedachte die aan de basis staat van deze studie is ontleend aan Norbert Elias (1991) en Abram de Swaan (1990): de problemen die mensen met zichzelf en anderen ervaren, hangen samen met maatschappelijke verhoudingen. Biografie en geschiedenis grijpen in elkaar. Meer specifiek gaat het Akkermans in deze studie om de wisselwerking tussen psychische en sociale processen conceptueel te verhelderen en met waarneembare verschijnselen te verbinden (empirisch te funderen). Gaandeweg het onderzoek is daar nog een doelstelling bijgekomen: het verkennen van de mogelijkheden van patiëntendossiers als bron voor historisch-sociologisch onderzoek. Aan de hand van materiaal, methode, analyse en resultaten van Akkermans' studie ga ik in op de vraag in hoeverre Akkermans in haar opzet slaagt met de nadruk op patiëntendossiers als bron van historisch-sociologisch onderzoek.
