Practice Has A Logic Which Is Not

I Often Say That Sociology Is A Martial Art, A Means Of Self-defense. Basically, You Use It To Defend Yourself, Without Having The Right To Use It For Unfair Attacks.

The Difficulty, In Sociology, Is To Manage To Think In A Completely Astonished And Disconcerted Way About Things You Thought You Had Always Understood.

Only In Imaginary Experience (in The Folk Tale, For Example), Which Neutralizes The Sense Of Social Realities, Does The Social World Take The Form Of A Universe Of Possibles Equally Possible For Any Possible Subject.

In Stamping Photography With The Patent Of Realism, Society Does Nothing But Confirm Itself In The Tautological Certainty That An Image Of Reality That Conforms To Its Own Representation Of Objectivity Is Truly Objective.

The Point Of My Work Is To Show That Culture And Education Aren't Simply Hobbies Or Minor Influences.
