Annee Sociologique

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

L'Année Sociologique was a sociology journal founded in 1898 by Emile Durkheim, who also served as its editor. It was published annually until 1925, returned to publication as Annales Sociologique between 1934 and 1942. After WWII it returned to publication as L'Année Sociologique and remains in publication today.

Durkheim founded L'Année Sociologique as a way of publicizing his own research and the research of his students and other scholars working within his new sociological paradigm. As a result of this the term is also used to refer to the distinctive approach of this group and the work they produced in the first two decades of the twentieth century.

Members of the Année Sociologique group include Emile Durkheim, Célestin Bouglé, Marcel Mauss, Henri Hubert, Robert Hertz, Maurice Halbwachs, and François Simiand among others.
