Abstract This is an interview with Stephen Mennell and a set of texts related to Norbert Elias's figurational sociology that make up the current volume of Sociologia & Antropologia. Mennell provides readers with a review of figurational sociology, as well as its reception and diffusion. More specifically, he reflects upon Elias's legacies for sociology and his movement away from philosophy; the publication of the collected works of Norbert Elias; authors who influenced Elias; the importance of the sociology of knowledge and the sciences in the body of Elias's work; the understanding of the concepts of civilising and decivilising processes, and functional democratisation and de-democratisation; resemblances and differentiations between Elias and Bourdieu; concluding with some reflections on the book The American Civilizing Process, published by Mennell in 2007, and on the use of figurational sociology for the study of current political issues.

Resumo Em março de 2020 a Organização Mundial da Saúde decretou estado de pandemia por SARS-Cov-2, o que exigiu importantes medidas médicas e sanitárias, bem como posi- cionamentos e ações políticas com consequências agudas por parte de todos os países atingidos. Johan Goudsblom aborda as epidemias de lepra, peste, sífilis e cólera, discutindo possíveis transformações civilizatórias. Seguindo na mesma linha do autor e adicionando discussões centradas nos conceitos eliasianos de figuração, interdependência, identidade-eu e identidade-nós, esse ensaio traz algumas reflexões, elaboradas ainda no calor dos acontecimentos, a respeito da sociedade brasileira.

O presente trabalho objetiva resgatar o que foi publicado sobre violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes por um jornal de grande circulação, O Estado de S.Paulo. A pesquisa abrangeu o século XX e cobre as diversas formas de violência sexual: incesto, crimes violentos cometidos por estranhos, crimes contra a honra, lenocínio e prostituição, pornografia infantil e pedofilia. Apresento o material em dois blocos: o primeiro reporta ao início do século e o segundo ao final do período, procurando chamar a atenção para a forma como os crimes sexuais eram noticiados e para os sentimentos sociais presentes nesses textos. Na conclusão, analiso as principais transformações na forma do jornal noticiar a violência sexual.

O artigo versa sobre a proliferação da pornografia infantil na internet. Argumento que uma possível explicação para o aumento dessa troca seja o não entendimento, por parte dos internautas, de que a pornografia infantil é uma forma de violência sexual contra a criança. Essa visão é engendrada pela especificidades da troca desse tipo de material na rede.

This book presents key conceptualizations of violence as developed by Norbert Elias. The authors explain and exemplify these concepts by analyzing Elias's late texts, comparing his views to those of Sigmund Freud, and by analyzing the work of filmmaker Michael Haneke. The authors then discuss the strengths and shortcomings of Elias's thoughts on violence by examining various social processes such as colonization, imperialism, and the Brazilian civilizing process-in addition to the ambivalence of state violence. The final chapters suggest how these concepts can be used to explain difficulties in implementing democracy, grappling with memories of violence, and state building after democracy

Norbert Elias has been recognized as one of the key social scientists of the 20th century. He is particularly well known for his book The Civilizing Process, his discussions on sport and violence and, more largely, his figurational approach. This book addresses many important topics by using Eliasþs framework--such as literature, capital punishment, prisons, sexual violence, life and death, court, State Formation, relations between the sexes and sports--thus showing the richness of his analytical tools.

This book will compare the approach and works of Norbert Elias, well known for his analysis of the civilizing process, his work on sport and violence and, more largely, his figurational approach, with other important social theories both classical and contemporary

Norbert Elias has been recognized as one of the key social scientists of the twentieth century. The contributions collected in "Norbert Elias and Social Theory" discuss the specificities, the strengths, and the limits of Elias's sociology by considering its similarities and its differences with other important classical (Epicure, Freud, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Simmel) and contemporary (Manheim, Fromm, Arendt, Bauman, and Bourdieu) social theories. Editors Fraṅois Depelteau and Tatiana Savoia Landini have compiled an essential and comprehensive volume on a quintessential thinker.

Resumo O ensaio, de cunho teórico, discute os conceitos de indivíduo e individualismo em Norbert Elias. Para tanto, três objetivos são perseguidos: - partindo das obras A sociedade de corte, O processo civilizador e A sociedade dos indivíduos, discutimos o conceito de figuração, solução conceitual eliasiana para o par antitético indivíduo e sociedade; - Mozart, sociologia de um gênio é utilizado como estudo de caso em que o gênio é visto em suas figurações, relações de interdependência e constrangimentos sociais; - por fim, pensando com e a partir de Elias, colocamos à frente o entendimento do individualismo como habitus individual e social, formulação que indica a radicalidade do conceito de figuração, a qual afirma a sociedade como formação de indivíduos interdependentes, a despeito da percepção individual ou social de uma possível autonomia, constituindo a interdependência questão empírica e ontológica.
