Abstract
On the basis of the problem of contemporary State-Nations, highlighted by different political events and conceptually identified by Pierre Bourdieu in his lectures at the Collège de France on the State, the thesis aims to unravel the concept of State-Nation of the French Sociological School headed by Émile Durkheim in the late 19th and early 20th century. In order to do that, since that notion arises from a combination of the concepts of “State” (studied by Durkheim himself) and “Nation” (crafted by his nephew and follower Marcel Mauss), it proposes to make a complementary analysis of both, with the hypothesis that there is a chiasmus between Durkheim and Mauss: the former develops conceptually the State, leaving in the shadows the concept of Nation, and the latter develops the concept of nation without elaborating properly the State concept that this would require.
As approach strategy, in the First Part of the thesis the perspective of the conceptual history of social sciences of Bruno Karsenti is proposed, which gives account of the way in which sociology produced an alteration in modern political philosophy’s fundamental concepts based on the introduction on it of the social perspective. In addition, before the separate study of Durkheim’s State and Mauss’ Nation notions, the problem of the thesis is posed from a general perspective based on a review of Durkheim and Mauss’ studies – from which a study as such as the one proposed does not arise –; the distinction between conceiving the concepts as “ideal types” in Weber’s sense and, in Durkheim’s and Mauss’ vein, as ‘expression of the real’ – which allows accounting for the durkheimian school’s concrete epistemological contribution to the study of the State and the Nation– and the First World War’s inflection in The French sociological School’s studies – that explains the change of focus from a predominance of State analysis in Durkheim to a focus on the Nation in Mauss–.
In the Second Part, the sociological perspective on the concept of the State of Émile Durkheim is developed, as well as some issues that are derived from it – patriotism, war, socialism and the issue of secondary groups–. As a preliminary conclusion of this part, it is argued that Durkheim did not study sufficiently the concept of nation, which appears as a byproduct of the State.
In turn, the Third Part focuses in the sociological perspective of the nation concept of Marcel Mauss, as well as in the problems which derive from it – the “intersocial paradigm”, that includes intersocial relations, war and peace as well as the subordination relations between nations; and the bond sociology/socialism that is fundamental to Mauss in the analysis of modern nations.
As a preliminary conclusion of this part, it is argued that Mauss studied insufficiently the State, by not explaining in which way it should have been reconsidered based on his conceptualization of the nation. In the conclusions, it is posed how Durkheim and Mauss’ concepts of State and Nation can be considered in the frame of the contemporary political and conceptual problem of StateNations. In order to do that, as a corollary of the approach strategy used, based on the chiasmus hypothesis posed in the introduction and the analysis carried out throughout the thesis, the concept of “State↔Nation” is proposed, which shows the need to intertwine or combine, through reciprocal references, the studied concepts of State and Nation, in order to compensate the insufficient developments of Durkheim of the Nation and of Mauss of the State. Finally, a series of openings are signaled for future research on the basis of the concept of “State↔Nation” and the notion of intersocial, among which the link with currents and authors from both Europe and Latin America is highlighted.
