Land and analyze sociological happy members of the ruling classes but distinctly. The "big bourgeoisie" or, if one prefers, "the ruling classes" appear somewhat like an object of right, even if only to question the relevance of the concept of cause and the group to try to understand extent to which its members could overcome the issues, rules and boundaries between different fields also allowed activities.
tireless "investigators from the bourgeoisie and aristocracy, "Monique Nip-Nip Charlot and Michel are without doubt among the few researchers have resolutely tried to explain in detail the operation of this social group" whose position is defined by the possession of means of production, which can be combined with the exercise of economic power, as CEO for example, but that may well settle for a rentier attitude, whether or not an occupation "(2000).
A symposium on the sociology of the dominant classes "offers the opportunity to salute the work done by these two sociologists in favor of the state of play on the classical work, ongoing and future on the big bourgeoisie French or international, on its social base, its social foundations but also on its lines of cleavage and the possible dividing lines that cross the different fractions of the "summits of society".

Eric Darras, François Xavier Dudouet, Julien Fretel & Sylvain Laurens
meeting places can be understood in a double sense. On the one hand, it is to report on the operation of places or institutions supporting the development of specific forms of entresoi ensuring the reproduction of the bourgeoisie (rituals, colleges, clubs closed, but also more mundane entresoi widely club makers, Davos summits type ...). On the other hand, and appreciate the continuity of a reflexive perspective consistent with Monique and Michel Charlot Nip-Nip, "travel in upper class" poses a particularly acute issue of complexity and specificity of exchanges taking place between investigators and respondents. Work on the high society are even rarer than the upper middle class "is in compliance with" the investigation in the social sciences. How the sociologist can then "meet" the elites, by what methods (worldly exploration of directories, interviews, ethnographic participant ...)? This first half day revolves around two roundtables. The first returns to be canonical "big school" and socialization. The second the notion of entresoi.

This last round table, the organizers have decided to exclude from the call for papers to be able to invite those who have had the opportunity to cross paths with Charlie and Monique Nip- Michel Pinçon will provide an opportunity to revisit a triple acceptance of work from the latter: first with their "respondents favored" without whom nothing would have been possible then with journalists who have contributed differently to recovery more or less "successful" in their work, and finally with the Readers invited to this opportunity to take an active part in the debate and symposium. The idea is to initiate a free and open discussion, probably more informal, with everyone, including volunteers, Nip-Charlot, Monique and Michel Pinçon have met and with whom, for various reasons, they have established links both emotional and intellectual.
