Por uma sociologia da institucionalização

Abstract

Jacques Lagroye and Michel Offerlé organized a collective publication that updates the research agenda within the frameworks of a sociologie de l'institution.The thoughts presented in the chapters of the book covering different objects and empirical universes point out to the adoption of a procedural, constructivist and dispositional look upon the institutional phenomenon. Thus, that what is usually conceived as consensual and inevitable, here is thought from a perspective that historical and social factors interfere on its objectivation and constant redefinition, advancing in the formulation of an analytical tool with powerful heuristic value.
