Résumé anglais Yves Sintomer, The Socioloy of Public Space and the Corporatism of the Universal A sociological conception of the public sphere bas to rest on Habermas's tbeory in that it shows how ordinary citizens may develop apolitical reflexivity. This reflexivity is both cognitive and normative and has its own constraints. However, in order to be realistic, any sociological perspective bas to criticize Habermasian idealism and to understand that social structures and domination relationships are present in every interaction, including those that take place in the public sphere. The force of argumentation is not some anthropological transcendence but relies on contingent social and political devices. The question is whether theses devices can be understood with reference to the notion of the "corporatism of the universal", and whether any political définition of the universal implies the articulation of cognitive and normative dimensions.
