Les enjeux d’une sociologie par la littérature

Abstract

After the publication of Les Règles de l’art in 1992, sociologists have taken a greater interest in literature which was remaining a marginal object until then. The question of the relationships between sociology and literature has thus been an object of a renewal since the 1990’s. Beside sociology of literature, an approach which considers literature as a tool for sociologists has notably developed. This approach of sociology through literature allows to rethink the relationships between sociological knowledge and literary creation. This article aims to underline the practical and epistemological issues of this approach.
