“As we know, the concept of configuration and other similar or additional ones, such as shape, figuration or structuring, although having its origins in several classic theories, including those of Simmel, Goffman and morer recent authors such as Bourdieu and Giddens, was wisely BETTER TERM?? Cleverly?? theorised by Norbert Elias. For this author, configuration would be a concept of synthesis that could overcome the old sociological dilemmas between structure and social action, between society and the individual, which has led the author to criticise the binomel society-individual of Durkheim and Weber. Elias believed that society cannot exist without the individuals, and we cannot think of individuals without or outside society.” (Manuel Carlos Silva in Nota Prévia, Configurações number 1/2005)
