What does sociology have to say about economics? Through the depth of his analyses and the diversity of his research subjects, Philippe Steiner - who was Professor of Sociology at Sorbonne University until 2022 and remains one of the leading exponents of economic sociology in France - has deepened the dialogue between economics as an academic discipline and the sociology of economics. At the end of his career, his intellectual trajectory has produced a prolific, protean body of work that defies disciplinary boundaries. In this book, the analytical perspectives of some fifteen French and foreign researchers resonate with contemporary economic sociology and explore its contours. The chapters gathered here tackle a wide range of themes (the role of economic knowledge and information, the circulation of non-market resources and altruism, organ transplantation, the sociology of the party...), and this diversity offers a broad panorama of research and the debates that run through it (on the place and role of the market in the functioning of economies today, for example, or on the relationship between economics and sociology). By also revisiting the history of economic thought and the thinking of the "classics" of sociology, this book shows how the field of economic sociology has been structured.

Among the new digital forms of writing for cell phones, the podcast, which has been around for almost twenty years, has established itself over the last five years as an editorial (and economic) model of the future. Alongside other formats such as short videos, podcasts are contributing to the renewal of real-life narratives in the media industry, in conjunction with platforms and socio-numerical networks. As part of an Idex training project on Devices for Writing Podcasts, a study day dedicated to podcasts was held at the Institut de la communication et des médias on April 18, 2023. Three round tables, bringing together the voices of professionals in the sector, examined the writing, production methods and audience of podcasts. These three round tables were the subject of 3 radio programs, produced in collaboration with Radio Campus Grenoble.
