La société civile est un concept qui a émergé de façon spectaculaire depuis les années 1980. Cette notion plurivoque et pluridimensionnelle a été reprise de manière intensive dans les démocraties occidentales et les organisations supranationales qui se sont appuyées sur les connotations utopiques et émancipatrices du concept pour réenchanter la démocratie. Irriguant un ensemble de champs sociaux et politiques, déployée aussi bien par les gouvernants, les organisations non gouvernementales et les observateurs et commentateurs des évolutions sociales, la thématique de la société civile s’est imposée aujourd’hui comme un « prêt à penser ». Ce livre propose une mise à distance critique de la notion de « société civile organisée » en interrogeant les pratiques et les usages qui peuvent être reliés à la société civile en Allemagne et en France du début du xixe siècle jusqu’à la période contemporaine. En mobilisant des analyses empiriques diverses - allant des chambres de commerce aux mouvements altermondialistes en passant par les associations culturelles, cultuelles, économiques ou sportives - ce livre permet de déconstruire les lieux communs et de saisir l’articulation mouvante entre l’Etat, les groupes sociaux organisés et l’individu dans deux aires politico-culturelles différentes, observées jusque dans leur recoupement et leur éventuelle porosité.

How is the culture of an immigrant group kept alive in a new country? Voluntary organizations play a significant role, according to the author, in preserving the cultural heritage of Poland for Polish immigrants and their descendants in Canada. However, participation in these organizations is declining. The author explains why in this sociological study. The first part of the study describes Polish organizations in Canada between 1860 and 1973. The second part describes field research carried out in Metropolitan Toronto in 1974. Results of the research indicate that Polish organizations continue to contribute to the maintenance of a distinctive Polish culture, but that the long-term survival of these organizations is not assured. The study will be useful to sociologists, students of Polish culture, and those interested in ethnic organizations in general.
