L'A. se demande s'il est possible de theoriser la methode et la pratique de l'interview. Il estime que l'on doit aborder cette question de maniere pluraliste et que l'on doit recourir, en ce domaine, a la fois a une approche de type structuree et a une approche a caractere non-structuree. Il considere que les sociologues ont besoin a la fois de methodes qualitatives et de methodes quantitatives parce qu'elles apportent au chercheur des informations specifiques. Il s'efforce de definir quelle doit etre la tâche et la finalite de l'interview. Il etudie la place du travail theorique dans le cadre de ce type de methode. Il presente l'analyse d'un certain nombre de donnees pour illustrer ses propos
