La société française entraînée par sa constellation centrale

Abstract

[fre] La vision hiérarchique et pyramidale de la société paraît aujourd'hui aussi dépassée que la vision marxiste. Une vision « cosmographique » semble mieux convenir pour rendre compte des transformations récentes de la société française. Une constellation centrale en expansion et une constellation populaire en régression sont entourées par des constellations périphériques : dirigeants, pauvres et exclus, professions indépendantes. Au sein de la galaxie des constellations dynamiques lancent les modes, diffusent des innovations. Ainsi le pouvoir social et culturel se dissocie du pouvoir politique et du pouvoir économique. [eng] French Society Carried Along by its Central Constellation Henri Mendras Today the hierarchical and pyramidal vision of society seems to be out of date as does the marxist vision. A « cosmographie » vision seems more relevant in accounting for the recent transformations of French society. An expanding central constellation and a shrinking popular constellation are surrounded by peripheral groups : managers, the poor and the excluded, and the indépendant professions. Within the galaxy, dynamic constellations launch fashions and spread innovations. Hence social and cultural power is becoming distinct from political and economical power.
