Abstract

Interview with Michel Maffesoli. A final user of the term postmodernity as an instrument for interpreting contemporary culture, sociologist Michel Maffesoli, 54, professor at Sorbonne, director of the journal Sociétés and the Center for Current and Daily Studies (CEAQ), is at the same time a Pioneer and a solitary theorist. After exploring, against all defenders of modern rationalism, the vertiginous categories such as tribalism, Dionysian, successive sincerities and nomadism, the author of The Contemplation of the World (Arts & Crafts, 1994) and The Transfiguration of the Politician - The Tribulation of the World (Sulina, 1997) sees its conceptual tools as appropriated by its opponents. Ideas settle in, but resistance to the heretical thinker continues.
