Philosophical and Ethnological Foundations of Pierre Bourdieu's Sociology
This paper explores the ethnological and philosophical foundations of the sociological thought of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most prominent contemporary sociologists. It analyzes the influences of his personal biography, including his childhood in rural France, education at elite institutions, and fieldwork in Algeria, on his theoretical concepts. Special attention is given to his innovative methodological approach that combines empirical resear…
Beyond the network. A critical inquiry into the limits of the actor-network theory
This article critically examines the limitations and challenges of Actor- Network Theory (ANT) in contemporary social theory. Originally developed as a response to structuralist and constructivist paradigms, ANT offered a radical methodological alternative, emphasizing actor-relationality and emergent networks over predefined so-called social structures. While this approach has significantly shaped disciplines such as Science and Technology Studi…

Reflecting the past, envisioning the future
This article examines the evolution of socialism as a political ideology, from its primitive origins in past societies to its contemporary incarnations. It opens with an overview of the foundational and universal principles of socialism concerning equality and common welfare, which can be established as the historical vertical of socialism from its inception to the present. The focus then shifts to the Industrial Revolution, with special emphasis…
The intellectual as a sociological category
The social sciences do not agree regarding the definition of the expression ?intellectual?. Proceeding from Bourdieu?s understanding of the idea of the intellectual as a free-floating, individual, emancipated from class and other social determinisms as an illusion that is accepted in some specialist circles as a professional definition of the intellectual, and from the fact that it is generally wrong to explore the social world according to esenc…
Multiple correspondence analysis as a tool in sociological research
Multiple correspondence analysis is a form of a factorial multivariate data analysis which helps us summarize a large quantity of information with assistance of modern statistical programs. In this way, sociological correlations - which are then visually represented on a two-dimensional graph - are established between a certain number of active and supplementary variables, i.e. between the positions, dispositions and position-takings (French: pri…
The pandemic
This article attempts to demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic provided possibilities for numerous (non)democratic governments to impose new restrictions on civil liberties, persecute opponents, limit protests and introduce new mass surveillance techniques, thus turning a devastating biological virus into a damaging political virus that has markedly eroded the overall state of freedom in the world in just a few months. In countries considered no…

L'antifascisme et les fronts populaires en Yougoslavie. Le chemin vers le pouvoir, 1935-1945
Le parcours antifasciste du Parti communiste de Yougoslavie a été une importante source d'inspiration pour la gauche mondiale dans la seconde moitié du XX e siècle. Pour l'essentiel de la gauche non stalinienne, la tactique du Front populaire est une forme « défensive » et « opportuniste » de collaboration des ouvrier·ères et des paysan·es avec la bourgeoisie, qui a produit un fiasco en France et en Espagne. Pourtant, le Front populaire a connu d…
La sociologie contre le socialisme dans l'oeuvre d'Emile Durkheim
L?article analyse la comprehension du socialisme par Emile Durkheim, telle qu?elle a ete exposee dans plusieurs articles academiques et dans un livre publie apres sa mort. Durkheim a en effet etudie cette question profondement et passionnement pendant les annees 1895-1896 dans le cadre d?un cours sur le socialisme qu?il donnait a l?Universite de Bordeaux. Dans la premiere partie de cet article, nous essayons de definir ce classique de la sociolog…
Aspects historiques et scientifiques de l’utilisation de l’analyse du discours en recherches sociales
L?analyse du discours concerne un champ de recherche specifique, qui s?est cree en France au cours des annees 1960, en reponse aux lacunes de l?analyse du contenu initial importee des Etats-Unis quelques annees avant. Dans la premiere partie, nous traitons des caracteristiques de base du discours et la comprehension de l?analyse du discours dans la recherche sociale. La deuxieme partie est consacree aux grandes traditions de recherche (nationales…

Fonction politique du discours antitotalitaire français
Le principal postulat sur lequel se fonde le concept d?antitotalitarisme est qu?il est possible, malgre toutes les differences evidentes qui distinguent des regimes fascistes, nazis et communistes, de percevoir l?harmonie et des principes identiques qui les rassemblent sous l?egide du regime oppressif d?un nouveau type: le totalitarisme. Le travail se focalise sur la specificite locale de la France et sur les travaux qui ont ete entrepris dans ce…
Interviews with trade union leaders from the former Yugoslav republics
Basic Features of the Transition from Nominal Socialism to Political Capitalism
This text reconstructs the two decade long period of the transition from nominal socialism to political – criminal and corruptive – capitalism in Serbia. The analysis covers the three most important social subsystems: political, economic and cultural. It demonstrates that the new capitalist and nationalist orthodoxy led on the one hand to the replacement of old “communist” irrationalities with new neoliberal ones and on the other hand to the dest…
The French state and the church
In the article, the author deals with the political and social influences of the relationship between the state and religious communities in France. The first part of the paper is an analysis of historical context and the construction (evolution) of laicism in France through its local characteristics, values and social strengths, contributing to its formation. The fact that Catholic Church was one of the main legitimizing pillars of ?the old regi…
