INDA, Graciela Alejandra. El Estado en la producción durkheimiana del lapso 1886-1890: la formulación de la tesis expresiva. Convergencia [online]. 2009, vol.16, n.50, pp.221-247. ISSN 2448-5799.

The treatment of the problem of the State in the theoretical interventions that Durkheim makes between 1886 and 1890, forgotten by the critic, is the subject of this article. After a first period of production (1883-1885) characterized by the predominance of the interrogations that have as a center the National State, in this second stage the young French professor is convinced that the state mechanisms are not the most appropriate for the support of social integration. Social cohesion, he concludes, is spontaneous and it does not need the political machine primarily to reproduce her self. Simultaneously, the State remains defined as a device that expresses a social solidarity that precedes him completely.
