This reordering involves two steps: in the fist place, it resists the methodological temptation to conceive any social phenomenon in normative terms; and secondly, it reserves the use of normative vocabulary to account for specific social phenomena. To show the plausibility of this rearrangement, we examine two important social phenomena: social coercion and social reproduction. As regards social coercion, we argue that it is not necessary to construe the pressure exerted by social institutions on individuals in terms of normative statuses, and we suggest reserving the vocabulary of obligations or duties to account for specific instances of group action. With respect to social reproduction, we argue that appealing to certain normative attitudes of acceptance is explanatorily vacuous to account for it, and we propose reserving the vocabulary of normative attitudes for conceptualizing specific moments of intervention in social reality. El presente trabajo busca recomendar un reordenamiento del uso del vocabulario normativo en la ontología social contemporánea. Reordenamiento que involucra dos pasos. Por un lado, resistir la tentación metodológica de concebir cualquier fenómeno social en términos normativos, por otro, reservar el vocabulario normativo para dar cuenta de ciertos fenómenos sociales específicos. Para mostrar la plausibilidad de este reordenamiento, se consideran dos fenómenos sociales de importancia: el de la coerción y el de reproducción social. En relación al primero, se argumenta que no es necesario pensar la presión que las instituciones sociales ejercen sobre los individuos en términos de estatus normativos, y se sugiere reservar el vocabulario de las obligaciones o los deberes para instancias específicas de acción grupal. En relación al segundo, se argumenta que resulta explicativamente vacuo apelar a ciertas actitudes normativas de aceptación para dar cuenta de la reproducción social, y se sugiere reservar el vocabulario de las actitudes normativas para conceptualizar los momentos de intervención sobre la realidad social.
