Lire les sciences sociales, L’Idéologie dominante

(en présence de Luc Boltanski),

Rencontre organisée par Gérard Mauger et Louis Pinto

Pierre Bourdieu & Luc Boltanski.- La Production de l’idéologie dominante. Paris, Éditions Raisons d’agir, Éditions Demopolis, 2008
présenté par Gérard Mauger

L’idéologie dominante est l’idéologie des dominants. Elle s’impose socialement comme une évidence légitime fondée jadis sur la propriété, hier sur la compétence, aujourd’hui sur le mérite. Selon une logique circulaire implacable, elle contribue à reproduire l’ordre social en faisant des propriétés sociales des dominants le fondement légitime de la domination. Pour contrer le discours de la fin des idéologies, de la disparition des classes et des intérêts de classes, il faut démonter la philosophie sociale dominante dans le champ du pouvoir. Écrit il y a une trentaine d’années à propos de la France de Giscard, ce texte, à la fois politique et scientifique, fournit les outils nécessaires à un tel démontage pour peu qu’on veuille l’appliquer à la France de Sarkozy.

Ce texte a été publié pour la première fois en 1976 dans les Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales

Luc Boltanski.- Rendre la réalité inacceptable. À propos de La Production de l’idéologie dominante. Paris, Éditions Demopolis, 2008
présenté par Louis Pinto

Dans l’effervescence des années 1970, de jeunes sociologues créent autour de Pierre Bourdieu une nouvelle revue : Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales. Dans un des premiers articles de la revue, Pierre Bourdieu et Luc Boltanski s’attaquent à la question centrale de « La Production de l’idéologie dominante ». Trente ans plus tard, Luc Boltanski ouvre à nouveau le dossier. Riche d’anecdotes personnelles, son récit nous livre la genèse de ce texte. Il débouche sur une critique radicale des formes actuelles de l’idéologie dominante. Véritable manifeste, il vise à nous rendre la réalité inacceptable.

Welcome to the 39th World Congress of the International Institute of Sociology

The 39th World Congress of the International Institute of Sociology will take place, as announced, at Yerevan State University, Yerevan, Armenia, Thursday afternoon, June 11 - Sunday, June 14, 2009. The theme of the Congress is:

"Sociology at the Crossroads"

The five previous World Congresses of the IIS have highlighted dilemmas of human existence and societal institutions in the contemporary world. They have examined problems of social existence amidst processes of globalization, cooperation and violent conflict. They have been conducted in the spirit which guided the formation of the IIS, namely that of an engagement and encounter between a variety of theoretical positions among members of a truly international community of scholars.

The 39th World Congress will reaffirm that spirit. It will have three broad foci, namely questions concerning the way sociology can arrive at a reformulated understanding of dilemmas of humanity in the contemporary era, including the nature of war and violence, of political order and states and state-like entities, of religious and cultural encounters, of processes of collective memories, traumas and reconciliations, and of shifting conceptions of law, legal regulation, human rights and international order.

The Congress will also highlight cutting-edge theoretical advances in sociology and neighbouring disciplines as well as teaching and curricular developments of sociology and social science in general in universities in the future.

The structure of the Congress is straightforward. The Congress will open on Thursday afternoon, June 11, with two plenary sessions. Each morning of the three following days, June 12-14, there will be two plenary sessions. The afternoons will be devoted to sessions proposed and organized by participants themselves.

The Congress is hosted by Yerevan State University (YSU) and organized by Lyudmila Harutyunyan, Dean of Sociology, YSU, and Björn Wittrock, Principal of SCAS and President of the IIS, together with Craig Calhoun, New York University (NYU), and President, Social Science Research Council (SSRC), New York; Yehuda Elkana, Central European University (CEU); Peter Hedström, Nuffield College, Oxford and Singapore Management University (SMU), Secretary-General, IIS, and President, European Academy of Sociology; Hans Joas, Max-Weber-Kolleg, University of Erfurt, University of Chicago, and Vice-President, International Sociological Association; and Shalini Randeria, University of Zürich and President, European Association of Social Anthropologists.

The IIS is a community of scholars, not a union of professional associations. Thus the IIS plays a complementary rather than a competitive role relative to its younger but larger sister institution, the International Sociological Association (ISA), of which IIS itself is a member and with which IIS is engaged in close and friendly interaction. At the previous World Congresses of the IIS, President, Vice-Presidents and former Presidents of the ISA have been present and have contributed greatly to the intellectual profile of the Congresses. We are convinced that there will be an equally strong presence of the ISA and of its Research Committees in Yerevan as well.

The 39th World Congress of the IIS is jointly sponsored by YSU and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS).

We greatly look forward to seeing you at a Congress that promises to become a landmark for the extension of sociological dialogue to new areas, arenas and regions of the world.

You are warmly welcome to Yerevan in 2009,

Lyudmila Harutyunyan             Björn Wittrock

"La culture, entre légitimisme et diversité: un point de vue sociologique", par Jean-Louis Fabiani

http://pierrebourdieuunhommage.blogspot.com/

Le collectif Kraken-Art a le plaisir de vous inviter à venir écouter Jean-Louis Fabiani le 31 juillet à 21h30 sur l'espace second life Pierre Bourdieu un hommage

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ecologia%20Island/75/226/21/?title=Pierre%20Bourdieu%20un%20hommage

Son intervention aura pour titre "La culture, entre légitimisme et diversité: un point de vue sociologique"

Résumé

Depuis le modèle construit par Bourdieu il y a trente ans dans la Distinction, la question de la légitimité culturelle a fait l'objet d'un débat incessant. Doit-on abandonner de modèle puissant d'intelligibilité de la culture au profit d'une vision plus éclatée de la culture où la domination n'est plus le centre du dispositif d'explication. La revendication d'une "culture populaire" n'es-elle pas un piège. Avec quels outils le sociologues doit-il entrer dans le débat ? On tente de répondre, avec des armes empiriques tirées de plusieurs enquêtes sur les publics de la culture.

Jean-Louis Fabiani, directeur d'études à l'EHESS, est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages dont:

L'Education populaire et le théâtre. Le public d'Avignon en action, PUG.

Après la culture légitime. Objets publics, autorités, L'Harmattan.

La petite mer des oubliés, Etang de Berre, paradoxe méditerranéen (avec Frank Pourcel) Le Bec en l'air.

Les Philosophes de la République, Minuit.

Was tun mit dem Erbe?
Die Kombination soziologischer Diagnose und politischen Engagements im Werk Pierre Bourdieus

Bourdieu Tagung vom Freitag den 2. bis Samstag 3. Oktober 2009

Die Werke von Pierre Bourdieu zählen zu dem Bekanntesten, was die Gegenwartssoziologie zu bieten hat. Dabei sind die Rezeptionsweisen ebenso weit gestreut wie die Bezugspunkte zu anderen soziologischen Ansätzen: von Weber über Rational Choice bis hin zu Marx und der Kritischen Theorie. Ein zentrales Ziel der Tagung ist, anhand der bourdieuschen Herrschafts- und Machtanalyse die Verbindungslinien zwischen Sozialwissenschaften und den aktuellen sozialen Protesten und sozialen Bewegungen nachzuvollziehen. Mit dieser Tagung soll die kritische Analyse der Gegenwartsgesellschaften gestärkt und ein Einblick in die internationale Bourdieu-Rezeption vermittelt werden.

International workshop "Paths Towards Reflexive Sociology: Ethnography Matters"

Porto, Portugal, December 10th–11th 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS
June 15th – October 30th 2009

Continuous development and changing nature of our society require a steady
reflection on and revision of our ways of doing sociological research.
Oftentimes, however, sociologists are faced with rigidly structured academic
fields that force scholars to be cautious while choosing research topic and
methods of inquiry. Nonetheless, social change has a direct impact on what we
study, how we conduct research, and how we present our research findings.

Moving from positive science to reflexive science means a constant questioning
about the social and political implications of social research. It also means
being aware of the specific social effects generated by the researcher's
presence in the world he/she studies. PTRS: Ethnography matters invites papers
that address these issues. We welcome submissions not only from scholars, but
also from social practitioners and activists who have a first-hand experience.

The session will have two main focuses:

1. Ways of doing and reasoning
New research fields and questions often require not only changes in our
research methods and techniques, but also a will to permanently embrace
theoretical and epistemological questioning.
We use visual materials, instead of only focusing on numbers and words, to
make our studies more elaborate; we employ online questionnaires and
discussion forums to collect data; we use statistical and qualitative software
during the data analysis stage; especially, we submit ourselves to fieldwork
harshness.
Refusing the academic «state of grace» usually taken for granted, we are ready
to reflect upon our work and our place when conducting social research.
We encourage submissions that deal with unconventional ways of conducting
social research and with the challenges and opportunities of a reflexive
sociological craft.

2. Innovative Ways of Presenting Results
Unconventional ways of doing research are not only about employing «new
technology» or «innovative techniques». They bring to the fore some of the
social, practical, epistemological, and ethical impacts often disregarded in
the academic world.
Traditionally, sociologists have attended conferences and published peer-
reviewed articles and books to share their research results with others.
Nowadays, sociologists can't ignore the growing demands issuing from the very
same individuals and communities until now often reduced to the status of
mere «objects» or «informants».
We thus invite papers that address the nature of research results and new ways
of knowledge presentation and dissemination.

Please send your presentation's title and abstract (max. 300 words), as well
as contact details, to ptrs.porto@gmail.com.
