WEBER E ELIAS: PONTOS E CONTRAPONTOS NA METODOLOGIA DAS CIÊNCIAS SOCIAIS

Dada a leitura apressada de alguns pesquisadores no campo da História do Lazer, Esporte e Educação Física quanto ao modelo teórico a ser adotado em seus estudos, o artigo traz uma breve análise comparativa entre dois autores clássicos da sociologia, tentando aproximá-los e diferenciá-los nos aspectos que considero importantes ao abordarmos conhecimento sociológico. O objetivo central é demarcar posições teórico-metodológicas entre Max Weber e Norbert Elias, pressupondo uma considerável diferença entre esses autores quanto aos seus procedimentos de pesquisa e sua visão de sociedade. Palavras-Chaves: Sociologia; Análise comparativa, Weber e Elias. WEBER AND ELIAS: POINTS AND COUNTERPOINTS IN THE METHODOLOGY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Edilson Fernandes de Souza Abstract Due to superficial studies that have been achieved for some researchers on the History of Leisure, Sport and Physical Education Study Areas once considering the theorical model that have been adopted on their study approaches, this work presents a brief and comparative analysis between these two classical authors on the Sociology Science in order to approximate their vision as well as to explicit the differences that can be found behind the aspects which seem to be relevant on the sociological knowledge achievement field. The main goal is to centre the limits of theorical and methodological approaches in order to enlight the supposed considerable differences between Max Weber's and Norbert Elias' points of view when focusing on both their research procedures and their vision about society as well. Key-Words: Sociology; Comparative analysis; Weber and Elias.
