FRENCH SOCIOLOGY OF ART ON CONFORMISM: FROM CRITICS TO PRAGMATICS

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the history of using the concept of conformism in French social theory and sociology of art. The specificity of the field of art based on the values of the private, individual, disinterested puts it in the special situation among objects of social sciences. If critical sociology seeks the “nature” of art in the social, the pragmatic turn proposes to pass to the description of construction the values of the world of art. The subject of conformism in the art gives an unexpected turn in the discussion between critics and pragmatists and leads to an understanding of the plurality of the regimes of valorization and justification that function in the field of art. Conformism appears to be an instrumental category that allows actors and researchers who follow them to move between different plural regimes.
