- The genesis and pathway of the sociology of work (abandonment of the de-terminist paradigm, development of the subject-based matrix, and slippage from an issue centred on work situation to one of employment). - Transformations of the organisation of production (the division of labour at the heart of the socio-technical approach, the crisis of Taylorism, and new forms of work organisation). - The enterprise and its logics of action. - A societal analysis of kinds of employment and of skill; the sociology of unemployment. - Identities in the workplace, and forms of insertion. - Departures from industrial society.
