Du politique comme dimension morphologique : la théorie des catastrophes et la question des formes de société
Thèse en Science politique soutenue le 30 novembre 2015.
This work aims to understand the way societies are shaped and to identify the constraints within they move themselves. It tries to answer the question of how social agents turn out to act collectively in shared social space, in other words to make society. This work take forms into account following Marcel Gauchet’s work. Indeed Marcel Gauchet has managed to grasp the differentiated patterns structuring collective life, characterising them as resulting from the deployment of an autonomous functioning of human-social communities, by extraction from heteronomy. The present work goes on step further and, considering the establishment and possible change of the configurations of a human-social space, it wonders about the constraining framework of the formation of this space. This internal shaping is looked into from René Thom’s morphological approach. Indeed, through his Catastrophe Theory (CT), René Thom compiled a list of stable forms and processes of change, unstable over time, but steady as far as the conditions of their formation are concerned. It accentuates the core issue: the organization of the collective dimension through immanence, and the political management of the historical dimension drive us to examine the inner historicity of communities from the concept of morphological process and according to the distortions it may undergo. This concept proves useful to understand the morphological dynamic which enable communities to hold together.
