Jean-René Pendaries, Biographical Approach and Structural Approach : Some Remarks on the "Return to Biography" in Sociology
Traditionally specialized in the irreducible singularity of the social actor and defined by the recourse to the life story, the biographical approach is now experiencing, with the development of the study of the social forms of the organization of existence, a profound transformation which affects its scientific status, its objects and even the notion of biographical phenomena itself. Its return on the sociological scene cannot be explained simply as a forceful return to individual subjectivity and to the "qualitative". The biographical question today places sociology before an alternative either to satisfy the alternance between the "structural" and the "singular", or to question the epistemological models that render these two sensibilities antagonistic.
