The development of academic sociology in Germany can be dated to the late 1880s. During this time, some scientists offered sociological lectures at German universities for the first time. These, mostly younger scientists came from a wide variety of disciplines; e.g. economics, political sciences, ethnology, psychology of the people (Völkerspsychologie), or philosophy, but didn't had much in common, except using the word sociology labeling their efforts. Publications for a wider public useing the term sociology had also been available in the past, but were rather attempts at understanding or affirmative legitimizations for the new social policy in the German Empire. Georg Simmel was the first scientist of this ‘sociological generation around 1890' founding successfully sociology as a new academic subject. The study explores the influence of the then well-known and established economist and political scientist Gustav Schmoller, who also acted at the Berlin University, on the young Simmel.

In this almost 1,200-page book, economist Thomas Piketty explores the ideological and political foundations of economic and social structures through a historical and comparative lens. It is about unravelling the relationships between politics and the economy in time and space, in order to understand how “unequal regimes” are established, transformed or perpetuated. After demonstrating the exacerbation of socio-economic inequalities over the past thirty years, he suggests solutions for a socially fairer model of development.

Fake news are central social concerns. In Quebec, the Digital Competency Framework (Government of Quebec, 2019) adopt a renewed approach to information and digital literacy. This document is inspired by metaliteracy (Mackey & Jacobson, 2011), which also influenced the drafting of the most recent Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) framework. Although the concept is limited in scope in French, it is worth considering it. This conceptual note introduces metaliteracy by placing it in a brief conceptual chronology and situating it in the context of the need to evolve the field of literacies. We conclude the reflection by describing some of the pedagogical.

Far from being a semantic question, the concept of addiction is a major psychosocial benchmark to the extent that the conception and the definition of a condition have a direct impact on the comprehension of the phenomenon in question and on the types of needed services and treatments. Based on a review of the literature, this article focuses on the social trend towards medicalization in the field of addictions. To that end, three aspects will be highlighted: (1) an overview of the medicalization process as a modality of social control ; (2) an illustration on how the psychosocial perspective of Stanton Peele covers a rich corpus that allows us to better understand an impressive variety of human activities and behaviors in a context of addiction ; (3) an attempt to demonstrate how the Peele approach contributes to “de pathologize” and to empower the addicted persons. In conclusion, some avenues for bringing together the medical and the social are suggested.
