Résumé
Sociological intervention, first elaborated and implemented by Alain Touraine, has been used as the basis of a number of important surveys and publications in sociology. However, as a methodology it has remained somewhat in the shade and is presently used by a limited circle of researchers. This article links two of its aspects. It first details the main principles of the method and describes its evolutions as it moved from analysing the problematics of social movements to the understanding of social problems. Secondly, it questions the singularity of the method compared to other modes of collective interviews. It thus appears that, though original and demanding, the sociological intervention remains in some ways close to other reflexive group methods.
