Análisis institucional y socioanálisis

Abstract

A critical review is made of the contributions of René Lourau in the field of institutional analysis, especially its mode of intervention, socioanalysis. This is undertaken in four parts: the epistemological project, the political project, the notion of institution and the socioanalytic device. The author points out some epistemological inconsistencies, as well as the oversimplification of the matter of the State and transversality, while at the same time emphasizing contributions of the socioanalytic device for intervention from a perspective that does not place it as the only authorized institutional sociology available.
