Peut-on penser autrement que de façon binaire les phénomènes - construits sociaux ou réalités naturelles ? Anthropologues, sociologues, historiens et philosophes invitent à surmonter l’opposition entre constructivisme et naturalisme, proposent des voies possibles. L’enjeu est pour les sciences sociales de relever le défi que leur posent aujourd’hui le néo-darwinisme et l’évolutionnisme des sciences de la vie. L’ambition ici est d’accompagner le mouvement à travers lequel un nombre croissant de chercheurs essaient aujourd’hui, par des voies différentes, de dépasser l’opposition entre constructivisme et naturalisme et d’intégrer dans l’un ce qu’il ignore de l’autre. Pour n’en citer que quelques-unes : la voie socio-empiriste, la sociologie dite pragmatique, le naturalisme culturel, la démarche de P. Descola. Publiées en français pour la première fois, et discutées, les analyses d’Anne W. Rawls renouvellent le regard porté sur Durkheim, et notamment sur son dernier ouvrage. Elle montre que Durkheim est conduit à affirmer la priorité des pratiques sur les croyances. La relecture des Formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse peut offrir un modèle aux sciences sociales pour dépasser l’opposition entre constructivisme et naturalisme. Elle permet ainsi de faire un rapprochement inattendu avec le courant ethnométhodologique. Il en existe d’autres que des anthropologues, des sociologues, des historiens et des philosophes défendent dans cet ouvrage, à partir de leurs objets propres.

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Sociolinguistic evidence is an undervalued resource for social theory. In this book, Jan Blommaert uses contemporary sociolinguistic insights to develop a new sociological imagination, exploring how we construct and operate in online spaces, and what the implications of this are for offline social practice. Taking Émile Durkheim’s concept of the ‘social fact’ (social behaviours that we all undertake under the influence of the society we live in) as the point of departure, he first demonstrates how the facts of language and social interaction can be used as conclusive refutations of individualistic theories of society such as 'Rational Choice'. Next, he engages with theorizing the post-Durkheimian social world in which we currently live. This new social world operates 'offline' as well as 'online' and is characterized by 'vernacular globalization', Arjun Appadurai’s term to summarise the ways that larger processes of modernity are locally performed through new electronic media. Blommaert extrapolates from this rich concept to consider how our communication practices might offer a template for thinking about how we operate socially. Above all, he explores the relationship between sociolinguistics and social practice In Durkheim and the Internet, Blommaert proposes new theories of social norms, social action, identity, social groups, integration, social structure and power, all of them animated by a deep understanding of language and social interaction. In drawing on Durkheim and other classical sociologists including Simmel and Goffman, this book is relevant to students and researchers working in sociolinguistics as well as offering a wealth of new insights to scholars in the fields of digital and online communications, social media, sociology, and digital anthropology.
