Book excerpt: Science ou non ? Comme les autres ou pas ? La sociologie ne peut répondre à cette question en son nom seul. La comparaison entre des configurations historiques, toujours singulières, qui fait le ressort du raisonnement sociologique et garantit ainsi la pertinence descriptive des concepts typologiques utilisés dans toutes les sciences sociales, n'a jamais pu engendrer la " science expérimentale des faits sociaux " qu'avait espérée Durkheim. Dans ce livre fondateur, publié pour la première fois en 1991, Jean-Claude Passeron montre que " l'espace logique " dans lequel la sociologie articule ses constats empiriques et ses argumentations reste irréductible, même quand elle recourt à des méthodes quantitatives ou à la formalisation, à celui de la " falsifiabilité " décrit par Popper.

Download or read book Bourdieu s Theory of Social Fields written by Mathieu Hilgers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bourdieu’s theory of social fields is one of his key contributions to social sciences and humanities. However, it has never been subjected to genuine critical examination. This book fills that gap and offers a clear and wide-ranging introduction to the theory. It includes a critical discussion of its methodology and relevance in different subject areas in the social sciences and humanities. Part I "theoretical investigations" offers a theoretical account of the theory, while also identifying some of its limitations and discussing several strategies to overcome them. Part II "Education, culture and organization" presents the theory at work and highlights its advantages and disadvantages. The focus in Part III devoted to "The State" is on the formation and evolution of the State and public policy in different contexts. The chapters show the usefulness of field theory in describing, explaining and understanding the functioning of the State at different stages in its historical trajectory including its recent redefinition with the advent of the neoliberal age. A last chapter outlines a postcolonial use of the theory of fields.
Download or read book La n gociation des valeurs written by Olgierd Kuty and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2007-09-03 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts clés de la réflexion sociologique, les intérêts et les valeurs sont présentés ici sous les différentes articulations imaginées par les sociologues classiques et contemporains. Ainsi, l'idée d'encadrement des intérêts par les valeurs est inscrite dans la pensée des pères fondateurs : Montesquieu, Tocqueville ou Weber. Pour eux, les valeurs sont situées en dehors de la négociation des hommes. La sociologie des organisations, ensuite, a profondément renouvelé l'approche de la question, qu'il s'agisse de l'analyse stratégique de Crozier et de Friedberg ou de l'analyse identitaire de Sainsaulieu et de Dubar. Aujourd'hui, le thème de la négociation des valeurs s'inscrit, par contre, directement, dans l'action des hommes. Faisant ainsi choix d'œuvres majeures au cours de l'histoire, l'ouvrage met en lumière le raisonnement sociologique dans ses transformations successives, de Machiavel à Crozier.
Download or read book De la valeur la norme written by Olgierd Kuty and published by De Boeck Superieur. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutations de la société et des raisonnements de la sociologie : un ouvrage sur l'articulation des intérêts et des valeurs. Comment penser la société dans laquelle nous vivons ? Quels sont les fondements du raisonnement sociologique ? Voici deux questions au cœur de ce livre qui propose d'articuler les concepts fondamentaux d'intérêts et de valeurs. La première partie rappelle les différentes articulations entre ces concepts qu'ont imaginées les sociologues classiques (Machiavel, Montesquieu, Tocqueville et Weber) durant les siècles où les valeurs s’imposaient aux individus et étaient situées en dehors de la négociation des hommes. Dans la seconde partie, les auteurs s'attachent à saisir les processus d’action collective au cours desquels les individus redéfinissent leurs intérêts et leurs identités. La sociologie des organisations développée par Michel Crozier et Erhard Friedberg ainsi que la sociologie de la traduction initiée par Michel Callon et Bruno Latour constituent deux approches permettant de saisir les processus de production, de négociation et d'interprétation des accords normatifs. Le questionnement est ainsi inscrit dans le tournant majeur de ces quarante dernières années : le passage des valeurs aux normes. Mettant en lumière le raisonnement sociologique dans ses transformations successives, l’ouvrage propose une introduction à la sociologie, mais aussi diverses sources d'approfondissement et d’articulation des œuvres présentées. L’ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles en sociologie, aux chercheurs et aux enseignants.
Download or read book Apprendre la sociologie par l exemple 3e d written by François de Singly and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2016-06-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment faire de la sociologie ? Comment réaliser une analyse sociologique d’un fait de société ? À partir de terrains qui leur sont familiers, une vingtaine de sociologues expérimentés montrent comment ils font de la sociologie. En partant d’expériences ordinaires de la vie (« je joue au foot » ; « je deviens ingénieure » ; « je lis des BD » ; « je sèche des cours »), ils révèlent la manière dont ces expériences peuvent faire l’objet d’analyses sociologiques. Dix-sept exemples variés permettent de se familiariser avec les étapes du raisonnement sociologique : illustrant les trois grandes variables sociologiques (sexe, âge et position sociale), ils indiquent comment articuler questionnement, concepts et enquête de terrain. Rompant avec une approche académique et abstraite, ce manuel – dont il s’agit ici de la troisième édition, enrichie d'un chapitre inédit – propose une nouvelle manière d’apprendre à faire de la sociologie. Avec lui, les étudiants et les lecteurs curieux disposeront de tous les outils utiles à l’apprentissage de la démarche sociologique.
Download or read book Sociologie Et Religions written by Liliane Voyé and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the relations between sociology and the different religions--Christianity with its various branches, Judaism, Islam, Oriental religions, sects and New Religious Movements? That is the question which this work, conceived on the occasion of the XXVth Conference of the International Society for the Sociology of Religion/Société Internationale de Sociologie des Religions (SISR), wishes to clarify.The book retraces the varied and troubled history of these relations and also reveals how in opening up its research to other religions besides the Christian, sociology is forced to redefine the very object of its field of study. What is the religious? This question, which until recently was considered impertinent, informs this book throughout.If confronts the necessity of rethinking theories and methodological approaches which, constructed in the context of 19th and early 20th century Western Europe, prove to be rather inadequate for encompassing contemporary religious phenomena and religious manifestations in other contexts. To these new theoretical and methodological demands is added, for the sociologist, a deontological imperative, which takes on all the more importance today as the religious provokes passionate social debate.

Download or read book Biographical Research written by Ana Caetano and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying people’s lives requires acknowledging the multiple entanglements between individual singularity and processes of social patterning. This book testifies how challenging and creative the study of these connections can be. It gathers international contributions that show, in imaginative ways, how a person’s life or specific domains of existence can be observed, tackled, and analysed across time. This volume reveals the potential of biographical research in the production of social theory, in the development of methodological innovation, in giving voice and protagonism to people, and in the understanding of the social unfolding of their lives. It is a testimony of a vibrant and youthful field, with a long tradition in social sciences, and with numerous connections with other study areas, namely the life course approach. The different chapters illustrate how the challenges posed by this type of research focused on the individual level of analysis are particular and what creative responses are required to continue analysing the link between biography and society. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Contemporary Social Science.
Download or read book Les sciences humaines dans le centre de l art written by CORDONNIER Sarah and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose de décrypter le rôle des sciences humaines dans l’art contemporain au fil de son développement et de son institutionnalisation en France. Cette approche communicationnelle s’intéresse aussi bien aux pratiques qu’aux discours, aux dispositifs (comme l’exposition) qu’aux représentations (en particulier des sciences). Comment observer les sciences humaines dans le champ artistique, alors que leur réception, leurs réappropriations, ne sont pas visibles de manière immédiate ? Comment rendre compte d’un usage collectif de ces savoirs et, donc, les situer dans des règles et normes partagées par les acteurs de l’art contemporain ? Comment repérer et analyser les manières différenciées d’y recourir dans ce cadre commun ? Par l’observation et l’examen détaillé des centres d’art et des expositions d’art contemporain, Les sciences humaines dans le centre d’art vise à éclairer la circulation sociale des savoirs et les manières de l’étudier.
Download or read book Weaving Self Evidence written by Claude Rosental and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of theorems in logic is generally thought to be a solitary and purely cerebral activity, and therefore unobservable by sociologists. In Weaving Self-Evidence, French sociologist Claude Rosental challenges this notion by tracing the history of one well-known recent example in the field of artificial intelligence--a theorem on the foundations of fuzzy logic. Rosental's analyses disclose the inherently social nature of the process by which propositions in logic are produced, disseminated, and established as truths. Rosental describes the different phases of the emergence of the theorem on fuzzy logic, from its earliest drafts through its publication and diffusion, discussion and reformulation, and eventual acceptance by the scientific community. Through observations made at major universities and scholarly conferences, and in electronic forums, he looks at the ways students are trained in symbolic manipulations and formal languages and examines how researchers work, interact, and debate emerging new ideas. By carefully analyzing the concrete mechanisms that lead to the collective development and corroboration of proofs, Rosental shows how a logical discovery and its recognition within the scholarly community are by no means the product of any one individual working in isolation, but rather a social process that can be observed and studied. Weaving Self-Evidence will interest students and researchers in sociology and the history and philosophy of science and technology, and anyone curious about how scientists work.
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory written by Gerard Delanty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triangular relationship between the social, the political, and the cultural has opened up social and political theory to new challenges. The social can no longer be reduced to the category of society, and the political extends beyond the traditional concerns of the nature of the state and political authority. This Handbook will address a range of issues that have recently emerged from the disciplines of social and political theory, focusing on key themes as opposed to schools of thought or major theorists. It is divided into three sections which address: the most influential theoretical traditions that have emerged from the legacy of the twentieth century; the most important new and emerging frameworks of analysis today; the major theoretical problems in recent social and political theory. The Second edition is an enlarged, revised, and updated version of the first edition, which was published in 2011 and comprised 42 chapters. The new edition consists of 50 chapters, of which seventeen are entirely new chapters covering topics that have become increasingly prominent in social and political theory in recent years, such as populism, the new materialism, postcolonialism, Deleuzean theory, post-humanism, post-capitalism as well as older topics that were not covered in the first edition, such as Arendt, the gift, critical realism, anarchism. All chapters retained from the first edition have been thoroughly revised and updated. The Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory encompasses the most up-to-date developments in contemporary social and political theory, and as such is an essential research tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of political theory, social and political philosophy, contemporary social theory, and cultural theory.
Download or read book Anthropology and Development written by Jean-Pierre Oliver De-Sardan and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-establishes the relevance of mainstream anthropological (and sociological) approaches to development processes and simultaneously recognizes that contemporary development ought to be anthropology‘s principal area of study. Professor de Sardan argues for a socio-anthropology of change and development that is a deeply empirical, multidimensional, diachronic study of social groups and their interactions. The Introduction provides a thought-provoking examination of the principal new approaches that have emerged in the discipline during the 1990s. Part I then makes clear the complexity of social change and development, and the ways in which socio-anthropology can measure up to the challenge of this complexity. Part II looks more closely at some of the leading variables involved in the development process, including relations of production; the logics of social action; the nature of knowledge; forms of mediation; and ‘political‘ strategies.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Relational Sociology written by François Dépelteau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook on relational sociology covers a rapidly growing approach in the social sciences—one which is connected to the interests of a large, diverse pool of researchers across a range of disciplines. Relational sociology has been one of the key foundations of the “relational turn” in human sciences since the 1980s, and it offers a unique opportunity to redefine the basic epistemological and ontological principles of sociology as we know it. The contributors collected here aim to elucidate the complexity and the scope of this growing approach by dealing with three central questions: Where does relational sociology come from and what are its principal concerns? What are the main theoretical and methodological currents within relational sociology? What have we studied in relational sociology and what are the results?
