Odzyskiwanie moralności socjologia pragmatyczna i literaturoznawstwo [przeł. Michał Wróblewski i Jarosław Płuciennik]
Recovering Morality: Pragmatic Sociology and Literary Studies [trans. Michał Wróblewski & Jarosław Płuciennik]

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to offer tools for studying the ways in which literature as a social practice enacts and performs moral evaluation. In making this argument, authors of the article turn to the new French pragmatic sociology, represented in a large part by Luc Boltanski and his collaborators, Laurent Thévenot and Éve Chiapello, who address questions of how agreement is achieved among parties whose claims draw upon conflicting logics, the conditions under which a particular argument carries weight, and when this argument will be refuted or disregarded. After briefly reviewing the main points of pragmatic sociology and its relation to the sociology of morality, its relevance to the sociology of literature is examined by exploring the place of fiction as critique in the moral discourse of civil society.
