The article proposes a reflection in which the interdependence between instances of socialization and individuals can be made present. Based on some of the formulations about the sociology of socialization processes, an analysis is conducted with the purpose of apprehending the complex educative dynamics of the current times. Is there, and is it possible to actualize empirically, the articulation of the interdependence between the matrices of culture? How should we understand the intricate and conflicting process of construction of the habitus dispositions? Identifying a new structuring of the field of socialization, the text seeks a relational perspective between the agencies, in order to apprehend the specificity of the process of construction of the habitus dispositions of the contemporary individual. Based on Marcel Mauss's concept of total social fact, and on Latin American anthropologist Nestor García Canclini's concept of hybridism, the article puts forward the hypothesis that the culture of modernity establishes a new socializing practice distinct from the previous historical ones. In this way, the discussion aims at contributing to the studies related to the socializing processes within the institutional and individual spheres, as well as to help in the difficult task of investigating the construction of habitus dispositions on the basis of a careful observation of formative mechanisms and strategies. It therefore extends the reading on the reach and limit of each of the matrices of culture and, simultaneously, makes it possible to peer into the ascending movement of new socializing agencies.
