Beneath the Surface
Originally published in 1974, this book evaluates and compares three important styles of sociological research: positivism, symbolic interactionism and critique. The book describes and evaluates each research technique as an experience for the researcher, and the author explains what they themselves have learned of sociological meaning from engaging in it. The book traces the main ideas through their last generations of sociologists and asks what…

Neo-feudalism is said to be the cultural characteristi…

Two quotients can relate the two researches: a replicability quotient which considers the quality of the original and a generalizability quotient which focuses upon the replication. An account is given of a replication of Gouldner's cosmopolitanism thesis that illustrates the decisions e…

Cosmopolitisme et professions intellectuelles
On dit que l'argument d'autorité n'a pas sa place dans la science moderne, pourtant il est assez rare de voir de grandes études, tenues pour classiques, refaites et leurs résultats discutés à la lumière des comparaisons possibles entre l'original et la réplique. C'est ce que l'auteur tente de faire ici, à partir des deux études qui ont rendu célèbre l'opposition entre «cosmopolitisme » et «orientation locale ». C'est d'abord le problème de l'unid…
