Get article replace la contribution de S.D. Clark dans une perspective plus large. ‘La tradition collective’ (la perspective ‘metropolitanism’ de Donald Creighton, ‘the staples thesis,’ la théorie de sous‐développement, et l'analyse des classes marxiste) est comparée avec ‘la tradition individualiste’ (‘frontierism,’ le fonctionnalisme, ‘continentalism,’ et le libéralisme). Cet article explique comment Clark a été‘le père de la sociologie canadienne,’ et fut influence en même temps par la tradition américaine et individualiste. On conclut en utilisant les oeuvres de Clark comme exemple de la non‐applicabilité de la tradition individualiste pour la société canadienne. This paper attempts to place S.D. Clark's contribution in a broader perspective. Distinguishing between ‘the collective tradition’ (metropolitanism, the staples thesis, dependency theory, and class analysis) and ‘the individualist tradition’ (frontierism, functionalism, continentalism and liberalism), it shows that Clark simultaneously has been the ‘father of Canadian (collective) sociology’ and an importer of the individualist (largely American) tradition. It concludes by using Clark's work as an examplar of the in‐applicability of the individualist tradition to the Canadian society
