structural functionalism  

Définition

  • Structural functionalism derives from functionalist theories that view society as an integrated whole based on the functioning properties of social institutions and members. Émile Durkheim's theory of society's stability derives from correlations to medical models of organisms' interdependent organs functioning to support the organism's existence, and the process in which external social norms that are given become internalized by social members.
