| Summary: | The concept of embeddedness has imposed itself in the New Economic Sociology. This paper highlights the multiple meanings of this term. In a first part, we discuss the political and reticular meanings adopted by Granovetter and Polanyi respectively. In the context of modern democracy, the work of Polanyi shows a double movement characterizing the relations between economy and society, which we develop in the second part. With such a perspective, the convergence between Polanyi and Mauss is highlighted in a plurial approach of the economy, which we discuss in the third part. The hypothesis presented in the fourth part leads us to analyze the content of institutional changes which can confirm the plurality of the economy, and to participate in its democratic « reembeddedness ». |
