Abstract
Cet article reprend une recherche de Luc Boltanski sur les enseignants de l’IEP de Paris. Dans cette recherche, Boltanski s’appuie sur une représentation tabulaire des champs sociaux pour montrer que la classe dominante se caractérise avant tout par sa multipositionnalité, c’est-à-dire par la tendance de ses membres à occuper plusieurs positions dans plusieurs champs. En remplaçant le tableau de Boltanski par un graphe d’individus et d’institutions, nous discuterons les caractéristiques et les avantages d’une sociologie de réseaux hétérogènes.

This article draws on Luc Boltanski’s research on teaching staff at the Institut d’Études Politiques (IEP) in Paris. Boltanski bases his research on a tabular representation of social fields to show that the dominant class is characterized above all by its multi-positioning, that is, its members’ tendency to occupy several positions in several fields. In this article the authors replace Boltanski’s table by a graph of individuals and institutions, which they use to discuss the characteristics and benefits of a sociology of heterogeneous networks.
