Commenting is often what social scientists are asked to do when they intervene in the media. In this article, we propose to analyze such commentary in the context of the relationship between the media and researchers. We will try to understand what the researcher is doing and where he stands when he makes his comments. We will also try to determine which position is given to him by the commentary: that of a commentator, an expert or a scientist? If the principal characteristic of the comment is to highlight what it comments upon, what is the difference between such comment and a sociological description?

Mots clés: comment; reflexivity; sociology of sciences

Domaines: Anthropologie sociale et ethnologie; Sociologie
