Les épreuves de l’individu dans la globalisation

Abstract

In the light of social diffraction, globalisation can be seen as impacting on individuation. The complexity of this diffraction clarifies the dynamic relationship between the local and the global at all levels (including the regulation of capitalism and the social positions occupied by diverse actors). “Putting to the proof” provides an analytical framework for a fresh look at social structure and individual experience, thus contributing to a renewal of comparative sociology.
