Abstract

This article emerges as an extension and deepening of the reflections developed during a presentation on the topic in a class of the Memory, Work, Education, and Gender discipline of the Doctoral Program in Memory: Language and Society at the Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), under the guidance of Professor Dr. Fábio Mansano de Mello. The article aims to explore the fundamental concepts of Durkheimian sociology, analyzing the function of work in modern society and exploring it as a central element in social cohesion and the maintenance of order. The theoretical framework of this article is based mainly on the works of Émile Durkheim, especially "The Division of Labor in Society (2010)," Costa (1997), Mello (2023), and Santos (2023). The methodology involved a bibliographic review of Durkheim's works and a critical analysis of the main ideas presented by the author. In addition, contemporary examples were examined to illustrate the relevance and application of Durkheimian theories in understanding current social phenomena. The results of this study demonstrate the relevance of Durkheim's theories for understanding contemporary social processes. Furthermore, it is observed how the division of labor plays a crucial role in creating social bonds and promoting social cohesion.
