Robert Castel
Sociologist
École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, France
Born in France in 1933, he is director of the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences) in Paris and a member of the Centre d'etudes des mouvements sociaux (Study Centre for Social Movements). He is one of the founders of the Groupe d'analyse du social et de la sociabilité. As Pierre Bourdieu's pupil, he worked with him in the 1960s. He later studied under Michel Foucault, combining sociological analysis with the study of psychoanalysis, laying down the foundation of what is now known as critical sociology. His publications include Les Métamorphoses de la question sociale, une chronique du salariat (The metamorphosis of the social question: a chronicle of wage labour) (1999), Propriété privée, propriété sociale, propriété de soi (Private property, social property, personal property) (2001), L'insecurité sociale. Qu'est-ce qu'etre protege? (Social insecurity. What it means to be protected) (2003) and La discrimination négative (Negative discrimination) (2007). In recent years his work has principally centred on the analysis of the dynamics of exclusion and marginalisation ("social disaffiliation"), studying the citizens of post-modern society with their ever-increasing security problems.
