À partir d'une lecture critique de Métier de sociologue par P. Bourdieu, J.-C. Chamboredon et J.-C. Passeron, et de Pouvoir politique et classes sociales par N. Poulantzas, l'auteur analyse les rapports complexes entre la pratique sociologique, l'épistémologie marxiste et le matérialisme historique, ce dernier étant conçu comme science des modes de production et des formations sociales. Il s'agit de montrer la complémentarité nécessaire entre l'épistémologie et la réflexion théorique en vue de l'établissement de concepts de base visant à définir l'objet propre de la sociologie et à lui conférer ainsi son droit à l'existence théorique.

AbstractOver the past two decades, a growing body of work has emerged in the social sciences that explores various aspects of capital punishment in the contemporary United States. This article reviews one strand of this literature that focuses on the execution ritual itself – specifically on condemned inmates' last meals and the final statements that they make in the execution chamber just prior to their execution. It also discusses some of the limitations of the research and offers some ideas for future scholarship in this area.
