Résumé anglais J. Lapointe and G. Le Cavalier : Notes on a Functional Paradigm for the Study of Social Change. Functionalism, defined as the ensemble of theoretical orientations of those social science researchers who now belong to the « establishment », is often presented as an approach which cannot study social change because it would then have to put in doubt postulates which form its very basis. The authors tackle this problem by establishing the essential theoretical elements of a model for functional analysis and by showing that this model permits a study of change which can be very fruitful.
