L’analyse culturelle de Mary Douglas : une contribution à la sociologie des institutions

Abstract

Cultural analysis is an analytical model developed by Mary Douglas which aims to compare cultures based on analyzing the formation of their social institutions. In presenting this approach, this article focuses on a typology called the “grid-group” of social institutions. The author here examines the foundations and the implications of this typology by taking into account the relationship between social structure and individual action.
