Abstract
In understanding the social relationship as a moment capable of reciprocal effects structured according to the binomial push/counterthrust, the reference to Georg Simmel and relational theory is inevitable. Therefore, assuming the relationship as the presupposition before sociology, and sociology itself as a problematic investigation of the forms of relation, it is possible to consider phenomena such as marginalization, ostracization, discrimination and incorporation, as forms of reaction of the actor to the social system. In the light of Simmel's arguments with respect to the individual, and by Parsons according to the interactions between systems and subsystems, the following proposal intends to investigate four hypotheses of the relationship between actor and system, analyzing the different forms of power exercised by systems and the socio-spatial orientations of the actor by motivating their origins and investigating their effects.
