Da sociologia da socialização à sociologia da individuação: Contributos para uma sociologia do tempo dos indivíduos

Abstract

This article contributes to the theoretical discussion around a sociology of individuals, in a societal time marked by a strong individualization of social relations. The work of three leading authors of an individual-scale sociology, Bernard Lahire, François Dubet and Danilo Martuccelli, is mobilized to substantiate the heuristic relevance of a sociology of individuation, in the time of individuals. It starts with a critique of what Martuccelli calls sociology of socialization to arrive at a sociology tailored to the sociological understanding of the challenges individuals face in a social world of growing societal singularization.
