Abstract
During the last few decades of the twentieth century, publication of Elias’s books increased significantly. The same has occurred with books and articles that have Elias as a central theme. In this respect, Smith (2001, 13) states that Elias has become more “fashionable” since the 1990s, meaning that more people are reading, discussing, and quoting his work.
