Résumé anglais Claude Dubar : Confessional Structure and Social Classes in Lebanon. After a critical review of recent studies devoted to Lebanese society, the author reveals the plan for and some significant results of a survey taken of a representative sample of the active Lebanese population. He makes clear the need to break with the traditional image of Lebanon as a « confessional society » preserved from the existence of social classes. This is the guiding ideology for most culturalist studies about this country. He does this in order to point out a socio-economic formation dominated by « peripheral capitalism » where class differences express and support confessional inequalities. Through a statistical analysis of objective data (job positions, educational levels) and subjective appraisals (views of and hopes for the society, Arab nationalism), the author shows how confessional differences serve either to mask or reinforce class differences.
