Résumé anglais Francis Farrugia, Geneology of a Process of Professionalization : French Sociology from 1945 to 1960 In the immediate post-war period French sociology became institutionalized and changed the position of the sociologist. This development was largely initiated by Georges Friedmann and Jean Stoetzel who, inspired by American sociological empiricism, oriented research towards field study. This reorientation was, however, resisted by those who continued to advocate an anthropological conception of the social sciences, such as Georges Gurvitch, Raymond Aron and Claude Lévi-Strauss. The major opposition was between quantitative or qualitative approaches, between microsociological or macrosociological orientations and between « managerial » and « critical » approaches. This real crisis of sociology opposed, on the one hand, sociology as a « profession » and, on the other hand, sociology as a « vocation ».
