Abstract

Identifying a new structure in the field of socialization is a relational perspective of analysis between the authorities in order to grasp the specificity of the construction of the provisions of the individual's culture today. Based on the concepts of configuration, Norbert Elias, the total social fact, Marcel Mauss and hybridity, the Latin American anthropologist Nestor Garcia-Canclini, formulates the hypothesis that the culture of modernity a new socializing practice distinct from others in history. It is considered therefore that the process of socialization of modern societies is a plural of multiple identity references. In other words, modernity is characterized by providing a social environment in which the individual is able to forge a hybrid system of references dispositional, mixing influences into a coherent system of schemes, although heterogeneous. However, as is woven individually this network of meanings? (AU)
