Résumé anglais Mohamed Cherkaoui : Socialization and Conflicts : Educational Systems and Their History according to Durkheim. The purpose of this article is to make a critical exposition of the key ideas of Durkheim's sociology of education, as basically drawn from "Education et sociologie" and "L'évolution pédagogique en France". Durkheim's thought has been arbitrarily reduced to a functionalist theory of socialization whereas, given its complexity and its conceptual and historical construction, it resists any such rudimentary classification. It is shown how Durkheim's recurrent, sometimes normative, reading of history allows him to discover specific characteristics as well as structural invariants of educational systems. We lay the stress especially on the category of conflict and its correlate, the concept of ideological struggle, which can explain the historical transformations of educational systems and simultaneously reveal the school's function as an instrument of struggle and a means of domination.
