| Abstract | |
For Durkheim, the constitution of Sociology as a scientific discipline requires both collaboration among experts and creating a theoretical framework sufficiently broad and flexible to guide research. Recognizing the disregard of the collective dimension of the Durkheimian sociology, as well as the absence of an interpretative framework for analyzing the links between the general presuppositions and the specific theories they produced, this study investigates the making of the Durkheimian sociology of religion through the collaboration among Durkheim, Hubert, and Mauss. For this, we selected a set of Durkheim\'s, Hubert\'s, and Mauss\' studies regarding religious phenomena, taking as reference their collaboration throughout the Année sociologique first series (1898-1913). From the comparative analysis of these works, we have verified the following hypotheses: 1) the transformation of Durkheim\'s sociological approach to religion by the influence of Hubert and Mauss\' works; 2) Hubert and Mauss\' elaboration of a theory of ritual action later incorporated by Durkheim. We conclude that Hubert and Mauss have developed a new approach within the Durkheimian sociology, centered on the aesthetic, affective, and intellectual capabilities of ritual action in creating collective ideas and practices and, thus, transfiguring the social forces at work.
