Symbolism and Symbols in Norbert Elías. Presentation of Sergio Quiroga in 9 CEO. 2024 July 5-7 International Communication, Economics, Organization Social Sciences Congress. Turkey.
Norbert Elías was a German sociologist, known for his distinctive approach to the study of society and its development. His most notable contributions include the theory of the civilizational process and his focus on power relations and social interdependencies. Elias's most famous work, "The Civilization Process" (1939), examines the evolution of human norms and behavior in Europe from the Middle Ages to modern times. Elías maintains that the process of civilization involves an increasing regulation of individual behavior through the internalization of social norms and impulse control. He developed the concept of "configuration" to describe the networks of interdependence between individuals and groups. These configurations are dynamic and change over time, reflecting power relations and mutual dependencies. Elías saw power as a fundamental characteristic of human relationships. His focus is on how power structures emerge and transform over time, influencing individual and collective behavior. Norbert Elias offers an innovative perspective on the relationship between thought, knowledge and language, integrating these activities as inseparable social processes.
