| Résumé : |
As a human being interested in concrete interaction between his fellows, the psychosociologist cannot, a priori,
claim more naivety, innocence and objectivity than most of them. The main part of his work consists in trying
to organize his encounter with others and to clarify its meaning. Although the methods at his disposal can certainly allow him to increase his knowledge, they can also be a source of misunderstanding and therefore of misappreciation and illusion. An important part of his task therefore is to go beyond the illusion of a coïncidence between the real object and those he tries to see, to clarify the meaning of the part he plays unknowingly in the construction of his objects of knowledge and in the sharing that he has to do with those who have cooperated in their emergence. The risk for the psychosociologist is that he might resemble Oedipus who was able to answer impeccably all the questions about man, but who was completely blind to the part he played in the origin of the calamities that fell upon his kingdom.
Clarifying a meaning that keeps recreating itself puts the psychosociologist in the situation of Sisyphus rolling
his rock: even though he chooses when to retire, he knows he will not escape his destiny. But Sisyphus is at least
aware of his fate, and Camus invites us to believe that he is happy. |
