Through a reading of three articles by Fernand Dumont, this article brings out three conditions for the possibility of sociological interpretation: the debate on the unity and nature of society, the reciprocal generating of facts and of values, transparency and the refusal of expertise. This analysis is methodological and draws on two examples: a typology of Dumont, a remarkable example of sociological imagination, and the sociology of health. This leads to the general conclusion that there is no sociology (nor interpretation) without memory.

AbstractIn Québec, there is a First Nations garden at the Montréal Botanical Garden. It presents the ways of life of Québec's Amerindian nations. Food that is respectful of the environment, the rhythm of the seasons and animal populations is a major dimension of this garden.

The Canadian Research Chair in Environmental Education conducted a large study on these questions, under the theme of eco-eating. The First Nations Garden study brought out unique and very rich avenues for reflection.
