Abstract
Social Problems as Collective Behavior Herbert Blumer (paper introduced by Laurent Riot) This paper presents to a French audience a major text in sociology of social problems : H. Blumer's text "Social Problems as Collective Behavior". For Blumer, social problems have their existence in a process of collective behavior. This process determines whether social problems will arise, whether they become legitimized, how they are reconstituted in putting planned action into effect. According to Blumer, sociological theory and study of social problems should respect this process.
