Summary: | The classic western sociology, from Emile Durkheim to Pierre Bourdieu via Maurice Halbwachs, tended to exclude the “I” under the hegemony of the socialization. We also locate this tendency in the contemporary literature with Annie Ernaux. He still has, besides, echoes in the current sociology, for example at Bernard Lahire. The article suggests reformulating the question by drawing from indications of George Herbert Mead, by being interested in the relations between the Me socialized and the I of the personal deliberation, registered too in the social. A Doris Lessing short story allows handling the tensions between the Me and the I.
