Abstract

present the notion of sociology of Alain Touraine in its main aspects. Since he believes that societyis no longer an appropriate object of sociological inquiries and that instead sociologists shouldseek social life in the individuality and singularity of each person, the most crucial aspect seems tofind out the Subject/Actor in the process of sociological study. He named this process “intervention”.It is this “sociology of intervention” on which we will focus to be able to appreciate the meaningof his invitation us to understand “social actors” not “society”. In doing this we are going toestablish some connection between our own research and his method too
