Title: Aises et malaises du chercheur : considérations sur l'enquête sociologique dans les beaux quartiers
Abstract: Michel Pinçon et Monique Pinçon-Charlot, Comforts and Discomforts of the Investigator : Reflections on Sociological Inquiry in Fancy Neighborhoods Sociologists who carry out "investigations" of the wealthy families of the aristocracy and the old bourgeoisie often experience a double feeling of betrayal. On the one hand, they must expose a social milieu for which closure and privacy are golden rules and, on the other hand, part of the vocation of sociology is to define and analyze social problems with a view towards their resolution. Because of the difficulties caused by problematical relationships between the surveys and the surveyors, the sociology of families who have accumulated all forms of capital is perhaps most revealing of the complex relations between the sociologist and the object of his or her study.
