Presentation
These two study days are devoted to the scientific legacy of sociologist Aaron V. Cicourel (1928-2023). Co-organized by the Association Française de Sociologie's thematic networks no. 27 (Sociologie des intellectuels et de l'expertise) and no. 36 (Pratiques théoriques), the presentations and discussions in the six thematic sessions have a dual objective. First, they aim to resituate the author's project in its biographical and intellectual context - American sociology in the second half of the 20th century - in order to enrich his understanding of this side of the Atlantic.
The conference also aims to reassess Cicourel's contributions to sociological practice today. How can his methodological reflections - on the use of photos and videos, ethnomethodology and discourse analysis - help us to advance our understanding of our own objects? How can we articulate social sciences and cognitive sciences?
