Abstract

The concept of social structure suggested here has nothing to do with "structuralist" theories (like the maintained by Lévi-Strauss or Foucault), but it refers to the basic dimensions of social system: demographic, cultural, economic, political and historical, as in Braudel's "structural history". The relations between them determine the social place of every group or individual, making possible to take into account a holistic approach to society, rejecting the theories characterized by their methodological individualism. Structure is the most enduring element of social system, but nevertheless it changes: it is transformational in nature. The theory oí habitus by Bourdieu and the structuration theory by Giddens are understandable as "neo-structuralist" theories, which incorpórate social staicture and others elements of analysis in a comprehensive view.
