| Summary: | In France, given the expansion of the professional body of sociologists, the increase in the number of journals, of conferences, and of publications, a diagnosis of the evolution of sociology can only be limited and institutionally located. While the body of sociologist is largely renewing itself and where the direction of public research has been dangerously highlighted, this article wants to express a concern: to see, on the one hand, the narrowing of investigation and of the room to maneuver of sociologists, and on the other hand, the normalization process of the discipline that has to go under the knife of the forced march of the reform of the French system of research. To do so, this article will sketch a sociology of sociologists through the transformation of their conditions of entry into the profession and of their working conditions, particularly in the university.
