These dimensions are reconstructed in a theoretical itinerary in which is discussed a double contribution of Koselleck to sociological theory: on the one hand, his work on the temporality of moderns, particularly his conceptual reconstruction of the categories of nature and history, focuses connections and developments that go beyond the analysis of the theoretical horizon of modernity. The reinterpretation of these categories in an actor-network perspective allows us to rethink, on the basis of Latour's work, the modern distinction of nature and history in the connection betwee...

Il montre qu'une telle fondation implique toujours un dilemme moral, ainsi qu'une transformation importante des relations sociales du groupe fondateur avec les membres de la famille restés sur les tanindrazana d'origine. Le processus de transformation progressive de ces relations s'achève par une rupture assez radicale, matérialisée par la construction d'une nouvelle tombe pour les fondateurs et leurs descendants, tandis qu'une cérémonie de transfert d'ancêtres vers la nouvelle tombe parachève cette rupture de façon rituelle.

In particular, relations between the ethnographic turn in contemporary art and the transition from the concept of society as totality to the idea of society as a process of which the work of art itself is part, are discussed. The consequences of this transition emerge in three directions: in the interest of the artists-ethnographers for the use of the methods of social research in their creative work; in the changed conditions of artistic social criticism, and finally in the development of participatory art according to Post-Fordist conceptions of participation. The aim of this essay is to show how these conceptions of social criticism and participation, recently established in contemporary art, show some similarity with categories and methods of contemporary sociological theory.
