Three different concepts of the subject of sociology considerd to be dominant in sociological thinking are discussed: the 'social' as an external, as an internal, and as a serial structure. Comparing these concepts the notion of social structures seems to be dissolving: from a desubstantialization and desubjectivation to a destructuralization and detotalization of the 'social'. This raises the question of the end of sociology.
