Abstract

This article contributes to greater clarity around the concept of social control, a concept used frequently, but whose own historicity is not always taken into account. To this end, in the first place, I review literature that has developed the concept theoretically: as a function, as a generator of social bonds, associated to conflict resolution, and as a form of power. Subsequently, I analyze historical works that use the concept, addressing its historical development and the ways in which it has been employed to study past social orders.
