Résumé anglais Klaus Eder, Beyond the Historical Subject. Towards a Theoretical Construction of Collective Actors Instead of relying upon sweeping theoretical generalizations and functional explanations social theory should give a more sophisticated account of social action that produces and reproduces social reality. This above alla applies to macrotheoretical accounts of the role and function of social classes as collective historical actors. In order to avoid functionalist or philosophy of history types of explanations, a genuinely sociological analysis of social classes as collective actors can be applied using elements of social movements theory as it has evolved over the last decade. Collective action has to do with rational behavior as well as with the problem of communicating such rational behavior by ascribing good reasons to it
