Résumé anglais Leonid Heller and Antoine Baudin, Socialist realism as organization of the cultural field. This article gives a survey of Zhdanovist socialist realism viewed less as aesthetics or ideology than as a particular delimitation of the cultural field organized on several levels which are briefly described here, in the light of suggested schemes. The institutional actors of these schemes are presented here as well as their functional instances (constitution, chain of production-distribution-reception, control...). The Zhdanovist campaign around opera shows how it works. Its main characteristics and general effects are the following: a centralization and increasing hierarchization as well as the increase in the number of organs and the splitting of functions that serve to square the field and control artistic institutions (an institutional complexity that introduces into the system "air pockets" that are part of it); the generic, thematic, formal paradigmatization, the ideological, aesthetic and organizational integration of all the subjects combined with partitioning; the control of all instances on the axis production-distribution-reception; the concentration and even the scarcity of the production together with the expansion of its distribution and the unprecedented ritualization of its applications.
