Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The aim of the article is to reappraise certain contemporary usages of the notion of “domination”in the field of sociology. Starting out from the place and content of social critique, the article demonstrates that domination can either be recognized as a legitimate category in the sociological description of the social world or, on the contrary, be regarded as a “fiction,” a metaphysical invention on the part of the sociologist.
