Abstract
The text presents a review of Cyril Lemieux’s La sociologie pragmatique (The pragmatic sociology), in which the author features the origins and affiliations of this new disciplinary branch and describes its central principles, concepts and methods. The French sociologist also introduces the main “fields of research” developed through the pragmatic approach in the last few decades, advancing its main internal and external debates. This review seeks to anchor both the book and the pragmatic sociology it advocates in their context of emergency and publicization, taking into account the positional disputes shaping them.
Keywords:
pragmatic sociology; sociology of action; post-Bourdieusian social theory.
