FrançaisFor a European Research Space in Social Sciences
Our network aims at analysing the conditions of possibility and realisation of an European space of research in the social sciences. The first objective is to describe the barriers which impede the emergence of such a transnational, multidisciplinary space. Our team plans to achieve the task by a systematically comparative approach of the history of the social sciences within each of the represented national contexts. Intercultural divergences and convergences prevailing within the European space will be identified; obstacles and filters slowing down if not blocking the free circulation of ideas will be delineated.

Summer schools
One of the objectives of the ESSE Network is to inscribe the efforts of young researchers in human and social sciences within a European dynamic which, while using points of view which are typical of national disciplines and traditions, will allow to create more objective analysis and comprehension tools.
In this context, ESSE organizes its summer schools, where participants will be offered quality teachings and concepts which will aid their progress in their own chosen research field.

Les conditions sociales de la circulation internationale des idées
Pierre Bourdieu
Je souhaite aujourd'hui vous proposer quelques réflexions qui voudraient échapper au rituel de la célébration de l'amitié franco-allemande et des considérations obligées sur l'identité et l'altérité. Je pense qu'en matière d'amitié comme en toute matière la lucidité n'est pas du tout antinomique avec l'affection, tout au contraire. [ ... ]
