Quelle posture un sociologue doit-il adopter et comment constitue-t-il son objet ? Quelles sont les techniques d'enquête à sa disposition ? Comment analyse-t-il les données recueillies ? Comment rend-il compte de ses résultats et les communique-t-il ? C'est autour de ces quatre questions que ce manuel se propose, en vingt leçons thématiques, de présenter les méthodes et enjeux de l'enquête de terrain, qui est devenue une composante essentielle du métier de sociologue. Ses auteurs ont choisi, d'une part, de rendre compte de l'enquête sociologique à partir de la dynamique qui lui est propre, c'est-à-dire à partir des expériences concrètes et des innovations introduites par les chercheurs, et, d'autre part, d'aborder non pas seulement les réussites remarquables des enquêtes, mais aussi les doutes et les tâtonnements inévitables qui accompagnent toute recherche. Ce livre constitue à la fois un guide pratique pour tous les sociologues et une somme de réflexions épistémologiques et critiques sur les méthodes qui définissent cette discipline.

'Society' is one of the most fundamental frequently used words in public life; it is also a foundational term in the social sciences. In our own time, however, the idea of society has never been so much in dispute and so little understood. For some critics, society is simply too consensual for a world of intensive discord. For others, the idea of society is oppressive - the very notion, so some argue, is dismissive of the infinite social differences that shape global realities. In this erudite and original book, two of the worlds leading social theorists, Anthony Elliott and Bryan S. Turner, focus on unravelling the different meanings of society as a way of introducing the reader to contemporary debates in social theory. The authors provocatively argue that all ideas of society can be assigned to one of three analytical categories, or some combination of these: structure, solidarity or creation. In developing a fresh characterization of the nature of the social, Elliott and Turner introduce the concepts of enclaved, sticky and elastic societies as a means of understanding global transformations. -- Back cover.
