Abstract

Conçu comme une contribution au dialogue actuel entre l'histoire et la sociologie, cet essai étudie le travail des historiens marxistes britanniques, Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, E.J. Hobsbawm, et E.P. Thompson, des perspectives de leur emploi et développement du concept de classe. On prétend qu'ils ont contribuéà la compréhension de l'histoire et de la classe dans la mesure où ils ont essayé de corriger le caractère figé de la notion marxiste de base/superstructure et de celle de sociologie de la classe‐comme‐catégorie en interprétant la notion de classe comme un phénomène historique et en redéfinissant l'analyse de classe comme l'analyse de la lutte des classes.Intended as a contribution to the current dialogue between history and sociology, this essay surveys the work of the British Marxist historians, Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, E.J. Hobsbawm, and E.P. Thompson, in terms of their use and development of the concept of class. It is argued that through their historical studies and critical essays, in which they have sought to overcome the ‘statics’ of the base‐superstructure model of Marxism and the class‐as‐category model of sociology by emphasizing class as an historical phenomenon and reformulating class analysis as ‘class struggle’ analysis, they have contributed to our understanding of the historical process and to our understanding of class.
