Alain Touraine (; born 3 August 1925) in Hermanville-sur-Mer) is a French sociologist. He is research director at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he founded the ''Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux''. He is best known for being the originator of the term "post-industrial society". His work is based on a "sociology of action," and believes that society shapes its future through structural mechanisms and its own social struggles. Touraine defined historicity as the capability of a society to take action upon itself, see ''The Self-Production of Society'' (1977). His key interest for most of his career has been with social movements. He has studied and written extensively on workers' movements across the world, particularly in Latin America and more recently in Poland where he observed and the birth of Solidarnosc (Solidarity), see ''Solidarity: The Analysis of a Social Movement'' (1983). While in Poland, he developed the research method of "Sociological Intervention," which had been outlined in "The Voice and the Eye" (''La Voix et le Regard'') (). He participated in 1969 at MoMA's Universitas project organized by Argentine architect Emilio Ambasz. Touraine has gained popularity in Latin America as well as in continental Europe. He has failed to gain the same recognition in the English-speaking world, although half of his books have been translated into English. == Honours == In 2010, he was jointly awarded, with Zygmunt Bauman, the Príncipe de Asturias Prize for Communication and the Humanities.〔()〕 Touraine received the Légion d’Honneur in 2014 during his daughter Marisol’s mandate as French Minister of Social Affairs.〔http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2014/04/20/legion-d-honneur-alain-touraine-francoise-de-panafieu-et-renaud-lavillenie-parmi-les-promus_4404385_823448.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alain Touraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
