What is the relevance of Luc Boltanski’s ‘pragmatic sociology of critique’ to central issues in contemporary social and political analysis? In seeking to respond to this question, this book contains critical commentaries from prominent social theorists attempting to map out the influence and broad scope of Boltanski’s oeuvre.
This contemporary ethnographic study of German theatre brings anthropology into renewed dialogue with theatre and performance studies.
The volume scrutinizes publics and infrastructures not separately but in their constitutive interrelations and resonances. The contributions, originating in a range of disciplinary perspectives, share a praxeological approach, discussing historical and current processes of mediated cooperation in infrastructuring and making public(s) by tracing different forms of the production, design, and historic trajectories of various publics and infrastructures.
This book is based on the understanding that the diversity and heterogeneity of science and society are not only issue of critique, but engender experimental forms of collaboration. Building on John Dewey’s experimental theory of knowledge and inquiry, practice theory, science and technology studies and the anthropology of nature, the book offers a trenchant redefinition of a present-focused sociology as a science of experience in the spirit of experimentalism. Crisis, instead of being a mere problem, is understood as the baseline for creativity and innovation. Committed to the experimental pursuit, the book provides an experience-based methodological approach for an inter- and trans disciplinary sociology. Finally, it argues for a globalized and transformative sociological outreach beyond established epistemic and national borders. This book is of interest to sociologists and other social scientists pursuing experimentalism in theory, method and/or practice.

Le philosophe constitue l’une des figures les plus remarquables de la vie intellectuelle française. De Bergson à Foucault en passant par Sartre, il est l’ambassadeur à l’étranger d’une forme de « francité », paradoxale pour celui qui s’est installé d’emblée dans une perspective universelle. Au cours du xxe siècle, la discipline qui venait couronner l’enseignement secondaire classique a connu à la fois le succès mondial d’un style de pensée et les affres du déclassement institutionnel en France. Ce récit vivant décrit au plus près ce qu’est la philosophie française : une construction conceptuelle, dont toutes les lectures et réceptions sont à prendre en compte, une institution et des pratiques sociales, de la salle de classe à la scène médiatique. Ce livre est aussi un hommage, ironique et quelquefois impertinent, à ceux qui ont fait une bonne part de notre histoire culturelle.
