Durkheim contra Durkheim: los límites de la lógica secuencial totalidad-fragmentación
Abstract
Totality-fragmentation’s logic is central in social sciences. From Durkheim’s Divison of Labour in Society and beyond, this logic has explained social change as a change characterized by fragmentation. Certain contemporary social theories follow this same logic, being unable, then, of explaining what hold us together and what remain collective. Durkheim, which will be presented as part of the problem is also part of the solution, as in The elementary form of religious life started to develop another type of sociological explanation, transcending that logic. A new cultural sociology, including conflict in a very central place, may emerge to substitute this fragmentation emphasis which has not only ontological problems but political consequences as well.Downloads
