Summary/Abstract: The invention of cultural policy in France has many consequences in the sociological field. In this paper, we are interested in presenting the implications of this invention on the sociology of art(s), which has a recent, but complicated history. In order to understand the conditions under which the sociology of art becomes autonomous and develops new research subjects, and enriches its methodological tools, we must see what happens with this discipline in France, mainly after the Second World War. In this article we want to focus on a less discussed influence in the studies on the evolution of the sociology of arts, that is the contribution of cultural policy.
