Abstract EN:
Social experimentation assumed in france by the disciples of fourier in the nineteenth century and stigmatized by positivists became an institutional from of action in 1848 when the state set up a council for the promotion of worker's entrepreneurial associations run by catholic democrate who were disciples of buchez. By describing the social elaboration of the state controlled experiment, this dissertation aims to demonstration how it produced the institutions set up by the provident state which are at work in entreprises in their "traversalite" such as regulation and accunting. The institutions, which we define as "institutions numineuses" serve the same purpose as the church once did before 1789, namely regulating the sacred incontrollable in the economic sphere. Self management production schemes today strive to get away from the prevalent entrepreneurial standard, they are confronted with the fact of their being institutionalized, a propoensity they have to assume the very social form they are supposed to context. Revesing experimental tradition in fourier's definition of the term, analysis of the "institutions numineuses" must be continued in the study of self management.

L experimentation sociale, revendiquee en france, au xixe siecle par les fourieristes et denoncee par les positivistes, devient mode d action institutionnelle en 1848, lorsque l etat ment en place un conseil d encouragement des associations entre ouvriers qu animent les democrates catholiques disciples de buchez. En restituant la genese sociale de cette experimentation etatiste, la these montre comment s y sont elaborees certaines des institutins que l etat providence a mises en place (reglementation et comptabilite) et qui travaillent l entreprise dans sa traversalite. Ces institutions, definies ici comme "institutions numineuses", remplissent la fonction assuree par l eglise, sous l ancien regime, de "regulation du sacre sauvage" dans l economique. Les collectifs de production qui, aujourd hui cherchent a rompre avec le modele entrepreneurial dominant, sont directement confrontes a la question de leur institutionnalisation, c st a dire a leur tendance a adopter la forme sociale meme qu ils combattent. L analyse de ces institutions numineuses doit se poursuivre dans la pratique de ces collectifs, renouant avec la tradition experimentale et ses imperatifs auto-pedagogiques comme l experience recente de restoscop, que presente par ai
