Résumé anglais Renaud Sainsaulieu : Underpriviledged social classes and television. Some hypothesis. Can television constitute for the strata of population which has not benefited by a long educational training a sort of cultural make-up process ? If culture is the access to works of art usually reserved to a social and intellectual elite, television does not constitute a permanent museum ? theatre ? concert house, open to all. The results of a pilot-study on a television audience of workers and farmers show however that television entertains, informs, and allows a better participation to local life, gives a new outlook on the world, and, in the long run, leads to a training of critical judgment. These positive points are counterbalanced by strong resistances typical of worker and farmer groups. However if culture is considered in its larger acceptation, television effects a slow cultural transformation of local and familial groups.
