Abstract
This paper proposes a transnational panorama (Czech Republic, Argentina, France, USA, Quebec) of the use of the sociology of literature in the contemporary era. I return to the experience of the “Resources Socius” platform (http://ressources-socius.info) that I created in 2014. It offers bibliographies, text reeditions, and a lexicon of concepts useful for studying the relationships between the literary and the social. In the French-speaking world, the sociology of literature was one of the main theoretical approaches to literature throughout the 20th century. Two currents of sociological inspiration stood out: the sociology of social fields of Pierre Bourdieu and sociocriticism, considered as a social hermeneutics of texts. What is it today? What is its role in the United States when The Sociology of Literature by Gisèle Sapiro appears in 2024? How have the sociology of literature and cultural studies come together? Where do new theoretical propositions come from and what can we learn from them?
