Abstract

Comment le traitement des problemes sociaux par l’outil statistique s’est-il constitue au xixe siecle ? En partant de la formulation de la theorie de « l’homme moyen » par Quetelet, en 1835, comme premiere tentative de prendre en compte les masses comme acteur social, l’auteur retrace l’histoire de la reinterpretation de ce modele jusqu’a Canguilhem. Il montre ensuite comment l’introduction de l’outil statistique dans la comprehension des problemes sociaux en termes globaux, va de pair avec les nouveaux modes administratifs de gestion du social caracteristiques de l’Etat moderne. Il conclut en indiquant que la statistique n’est pas obligatoirement liee a une gestion uniformisee du social, mais qu’elle est comme tous les outils susceptible d’usages divers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
