Abstract

The concept of power is the central idea in Norbert Elias´ book. Its basic argument focuses on the existence of different sources of power. The power is political, economical, of the knowledge, symbolical, military and also expresses itself in different ways. In this sense, with power being central to the social relations, a sociological analysis must be attentive to the changes that derive through and from the distribution of power, providing, therefore, more concrete elements for the analysis of the interdependences and configurations in the social structures.
