Résumé
A social relation is the fundamental unit of analysis within the social sciences, and describes any voluntary or involuntary interpersonal relationship between two or more individuals within and/or between groups. The group can be a language or kinship group, a social institution or organization, an economic class, a nation, or gender. Social relations are derived from human behavioral ecology, and, as an aggregate, form a coherent social structure whose constituent parts are best understood relative to each other and to the social ecosystem as a whole. Early inquiries into the nature of social relations featured in the work of sociologists such as Max Weber in his theory of social action, where social relationships composed of both positive (affiliative) and negative (agonistic) interactions represented opposing effects. Categorizing social interactions enables observational and other social research, such as Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (lit. 'community and society'), collective consciousness, etc. Ancient works which include manuals of good practice in social relations include the text of Pseudo-Phocylides, 175-227, Josephus' polemical work Against Apion, 198-210, and the deutero-canonical Jewish Book of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus, . More recent research on social behaviour has demonstrated that newborn infants tend to instinctually gravitate towards prosocial behaviour. As obligate social apes, humans are born highly altricial, and require an extended period of post-natal development for cultural transmission of social organization, language, and moral frameworks. In linguistic and anthropological frameworks, this is reflected in a culture's kinship terminology, with the default mother-child relation emerging as part of the embryological process. According to Piotr Sztompka, forms of relation and interaction in sociology and anthropology may be described as follows: first and most basic are animal-like behaviors, i.e. various physical movements of the body. Then there are actions—movements with a meaning and purpose.

Dramaturgy (sociology)
Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective commonly used in micro-sociological accounts of social interaction in everyday life. The term was first adapted into sociology from the theatre by Erving Goffman, who developed most of the related terminology and ideas in his 1956 book, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Kenneth Burke, whom Goffman would later acknowledge as an influence, had earlier presented his notions of dramatism in 1945, which in turn derives from Shakespeare.
Sociologie
La sociologie est une discipline des sciences sociales qui a pour objectif de rechercher des explications et des compréhensions typiquement sociales, et non pas mentales ou biophysiques, à des phénomènes observables. La sociologie étudie les relations sociales qui produisent par exemple, selon les approches : des pratiques, des faits sociaux, des interactions, des identités sociales, des institutions sociales, des organisations, des réseaux, des cultures, des classes sociales, des normes sociales ainsi que de toutes ces entités qui n'ont pas d'explications purement biophysiques ou mentales et qui sont produites par les individus et groupes sociaux.
Norme sociale
vignette|Se serrer la main entre adversaires sportifs, ici pour un match de tennis, est un exemple de norme sociale. Une norme sociale réfère à une façon de faire ou d'agir, une règle de conduite tacite ou écrite, qui a prévalence dans une société ou un groupe social donné. Elle est légitimée par des habitudes, des valeurs, des croyances partagées au sein d'un collectif donné, ainsi que par le contrôle social exercé.
