Une sociologie de la singularité : étapes et obstacles

Abstract

Is a sociology of singularity possible? The answer to this question is a pragmatic one, according to the author's account of her encounters with the issue of singularity, in the order in which they occurred, through the surveys conducted in the sociology of art and culture. Each stage is an opportunity to reflect on the epistemological obstacles that the "sociologist", or reductionist, paradigm opposes to the serious consideration of such an issue by the social sciences.
