description | In front of committed actors, the classic order sent to the sociologist to stay "neutral" and "objective" seems very vain. On one hand, because normative considerations, registered in the trajectory and in the social or political experience of the researcher, are frequently for the principle of its choices of research objects. Then, because the researcher is generally summoned to make a commitment, or at a minimal level to clarify his preferences, by the activists whom he studies. The paper explores the advantages but also the methodological blind spots and the epistemological pitfalls of intricacy of militant posture and sociologist's activity. |
