RESUMO

Solidarity is a founding concept of Sociology. Notwithstanding such status, for many decades solidarity has occupied a marginal position in the sociological debates, despite the deep transformations through which the contemporary societies have passed, with clear consequences in various processes of socialization and differentiation. Accordingly, this work seeks to recover a critical and contemporary concept of solidarity and overcome the aforementioned theoretical deficiency. It is committed to the genealogical analysis of the concept and the clarification of its historical roots, pursuing its ramifications and development in the twentieth century in two major paradigms of the social sciences: the communicative paradigm, based on the Critical Theory by Jürgen Habermas, and the gift paradigm, from a non-structuralist review of Marcel Mauss The Gift. Finally, the author s purpose is to give rise to a living and current concept of solidarity through a discussion of the virtues and weaknesses of the two paradigms, thus calling attention to the importance of solidarity within the social sciences
