Descripción
By reviewing the articles published in the American Journal of Sociology between 1915 and 1930, this article explores the uses of terminological expressions characteristic of the qualitative approach supposedly developed by the Chicago school: case study, fieldwork, natural history, etc. First we present the intellectual and institutional aspects of the school. Then we examine a corpus of articles and reviews taking into account: the importance of the methodological reflection, the relation between the methods of the natural sciences and the social sciences, as well as the qualitative-quantitative antagonism. The main conclusion is that even if such expressions - as used in the corpus - cannot be regarded as qualitative in the current sense, particularly due to their epistemological foundations, we can observe a growing recognition of the important role of non-statistical methods in the social sciences, mainly among Chicagoans.
Cet article, à partir de l'examen des articles publiés dans l'American Journal of Sociology entre 1915 et 1930, explore les utilisations des expressions terminologiques caractéristiques de l'approche qualitative développée par l'école de Chicago : étude de cas, travail de terrain, histoire naturelle... Dans un premier temps, nous présentons les aspects intellectuels et institutionnels de l?école. Ensuite, nous examinons un corpus d'articles et de revues en tenant compte de l'importance de la réflexion méthodologique, de la relation entre les méthodes des sciences naturelles et des sciences sociales, ainsi que de l?antagonisme entre le qualitatif et le quantitatif. La principale conclusion est que, même si ces expressions ' aux sens hétéroclites où elles sont employées dans le corpus - ne peuvent pas être considérées comme qualitatives dans le sens courant, avant tout en raison de leurs fondements épistémologiques, nous pouvons observer une reconnaissance croissante de l'importance du rôle des méthodes non statistiques dans les sciences sociales, surtout parmi les auteurs de Chicago.
