Chapitre 12. Les Classiques écrivent les lettres : le genre épistolaire en histoire de la pensée sociologique

P. 233–244.
Gofman A. B.

Some features of epistolary genre as a form of communication, its evolution and its role in history are analyzed in this article. A comparison with the other forms of communication is carried out. The author considers the significance of the personal correspondence for the study of the history of sociological thought. He illustrates these general statements by a comparative analysis of the correspondences of Marx, on the one hand, and of Durkheim, on the other hand, as well as of their respective role in the work of these classics.
