Description
Summary:In order to better understand the opportunities brought by environmental sociology in interdisciplinary studies, this paper explores the foundation and evolution of the discipline. Taking the case of alternative agriculture as an example, it consists of a description of the state of the structuration of the environmental sociology field through the repartition of its approaches between the two tendencies of the socialization of the environmental problematic, and the naturalization of society. In its more recent development phase, environmental sociology shows a decoupling between that duality and the horizon for interdisciplinarity.
