Abstract EN:

Le but de cette these est d'explorer une notion susceptible d'eclairer l'intrication des processus psychiques et des phenomenes sociaux. La resonance psychosociale est ainsi proposee comme un processus diachronique et ou synchronique situe a l'articulation du psychique et du social, caracterise par l'intensite particuliere avec laquelle vibrent a l'interieur d'un meme psychisme ou de plusieurs psychismes en interactioin des elements specifiques du contexte social. C'est la resonance psychosociale qui conduirait a la crise (personnelle ou sociale) et a la creation des differents niveaux de realite a l'oeuvre. Apres une introduction theorique a la pensee complexe, a la demarche dialectique dans le champ psychosocial et a la notion de resonance, ce travail presente une serie d'illustrations issues de recherches-actions dans les champs interindividuel, groupal, organisationnel et social oule reperage a la resonance psychosociale permet d'eclairer la nature des processus critiques en jeu.

Abstract FR:

The aim of this thesis is to explore a notion likely to help understand the intricacies between psychic processes and social processes. The psychosocial resonance is proposed as a diachronic and or a synchronic process situated at the cross-roads of the psychic and the social, and which is caracterized by the particular intensity with which specific elements of the social context vibrate within one psyche or severalinteracting psyches. It is argued that the psychosocial resonance would be a process leading to crisis (either personal or social) and creation (either individual or cultural). Its meaing should be searched for in the the intricacies and the respective weights of theseveral operating levels of reality. After a theoretical introduction to the idea of complexity, the dialectic approach in the psychosocial field and to the notion of resonance, this work presents a series of action research in the interpersonal, group, organisational and social areas where the identificatioin of the psychosocial resonance facilitates the understanding of the nature of the critical precesses at stake.
