| Abstract | |
During the 1890s and 1910s, sociology acquired citizenship rights within the French University system, and became part of the spectrum of disciplines offered at the various faculties of Letters all over the country, even though it kept holding an institutionally weak position. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the dialogues during this early period between the holders of this new knowledge and Hellenistic and Latin scholars, who, in turn, represented traditional disciplines which still dominated the French educational system. To that end, we focus upon the circuits of ideas and people represented in five specialized academic journals, i.e: Année Sociologique, Bulletin de Correspondance Hellénique, Mélanges d\'Archéologie et d\'Histoire, Revue des Etudes Grecques, and Revue des Etudes Anciennes. By analyzing the meanings of such a flow, we attempt to elucidate the epistemological and social conditions that allowed a historically given interdisciplinarity, questioning both its practical limits and its influence on the definition of each knowledge area.
