The article refers the tensions that concern the relationship between society and individual, agency and system, structure and action within the contemporary sociology of education. For this development, based on an eminently theoretical reflection, the text highlights a comparative reading between the approaches of Pierre Bourdieu and François Dubet, aiming to understand not only the way these tensions were solved in their theoretical elaborations, but especially the way in which their approaches - more structural or actionalist - have contributed to the constitution of different schemes of perception about the social relations that involve the educational processes. In these terms, and more specifically, the text seeks to find out the possible contradictions, complementarities and possibilities of approaching these different models of analysis, evidencing the probable analytical gains in the crossing of the perspectives under study. As a conclusion, it is suggested that the articulation between the concept of habitus (from Bourdieu) and the notion of social experience (Dubet) allows for wider theoretical elaborations that surpass the perceptions of the power relations and reproduction of inequalities in the school spaces, that link these realities together with the experience of deliberation and critical reflection on the part of the social actors through a political model of education.
