What's left of the social agent?: sociological analysis in face of biographical exemplarity and self-diminution

This paper examines two questions conjointly. The first refers to the uses of biography in social sciences. The second deals with the sociological determination of the notion of actor. On the one hand, it is a question of the statute of the unique experience in history or sociology, and on the other of the statute of the actor in an analytical context, characterized by the plurality of social scenes.
