520 _aThe collective volume Le laboratoire des sciences sociales. Histoires d’enquêtes et revisites, coordinated by Gilles Laferté, Paul Pasquali, and Nicolas Renahy, reconsiders some of the major surveys conducted in the social sciences, taking them as objects and collective experiences to be historicized ( histoires d’enquêtes), as well as materials for new research ( revisites). This approach enables the book to address, empirically and in an original way, certain questions related to the archives produced by the social sciences and the uses to which they can be put. Unlike standard sources studied by historians, defined corpora produced by various archival and memorial strategies, the archives used by the authors of Le Laboratoire des sciences sociales have a more ambiguous status. In particular, this is due to a shorter time-scale between the moment that the surveys were produced and the moment of their historicization and reappropriation, the effects of which are analyzed in this article. The volume appeals for historical reflexivity as standard practice and offers a way to reconsider a number of problems in a new light. By questioning the distinction between documents and archives, the cumulative nature of social science knowledge as it is archived, and the difference between social science archives and those produced by other forms of survey practiced in the past, this review article seeks to test the reflexive and historicist project at the heart of the redefinition of the place of archives in the production of history.
