論文This paper examines the transition from critical sociology to the sociology of critique and its synthesis in contemporary French sociology according to two overall goals. First, to understand what has caused the increasing interest in its normativity after constructionist sociology, this paper focuses on Pierre Bourdieu's sociology as an example of constructionist sociology and explores it from the perspective of Luc Boltanski. According to Boltanski, Bourdieu's critical sociology devotes itself to unmasking and criticizing unequal structures and the power relations on which these structures are based, without explicitly constructing a normative basis to justify its critique. Such ambiguity regarding its normativity prevents critical sociology from contributing to its emancipation. In addition, this lack of emancipatory potential is considered as one of the factors that direct sociology after constructionism toward its normativity. Second, this paper discusses what attitude should be taken toward the tendency in which sociology after constructionism thematizes normativity. Boltanski's transition from the sociology of critique to the synthesis between critical sociology and the sociology of critique shows that normative sociology includes less critical potentialities than constructionist sociology. Based on the findings, this paper proposes that sociology should attempt to synthesize constructionism and normative sociology, which is in contrast to Manabu Akagawa, who believes in constructionist sociology, and Kazuo Seiyama, who completely abandons constructivist sociology and insists on the need for sociology as a normative inquiry into the community.

This paper aims to revisit the individualization theory, especially the Ulrich Beck's one, by examining La condition fœtale written by Luc Boltanski. According to Beck, one of the aspects of individualization in the second modernity consists in, on the one hand, the liberation without reintegration into intermediate groups, which leads to an individual decision-making on one's own biography, and, on the other hand, the re-institutionalization based on the individual. Taking up as an example of these processes the legalization of abortion such as the Veil law and the diffusion of prenatal testing, this paper tries to clarify, based on Boltanski's arguments, the instance external to persons whose authority is invoked so that the child to be born can be considered preconfirmed in the contemporary society. This paper concludes that, in the individualized society, we see not the disappearance of big Other's authority, but its new appearance.
