Resumen

SCOTT, John. Power, domination and stratification: Towards a conceptual synthesis. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2007, n.55, pp.25-39. ISSN 0873-6529.

This paper argues for the need for a conceptual synthesis and clarification of concepts in the study of stratification and domination. Max Weber’s ideas are taken as the foundation for developing elementary concepts of power and their articulation into larger structures of domination and stratification. It is argued that elites are formed in and through structures of domination and that they can most usefully be investigated in relation to patterns of social stratification. Social stratification itself is analysed as involving class and status situations - as causal determinants of life chances - and social classes. Elite research must investigate the social background and recruitment of elites from different social classes and class situations. It is concluded that a wider investigation of power must also be concerned with the counteraction of dominated groups and the possibility of social change through a circulation of elites.

Palabras clave : class; elite; power; stratification.
