Riassunto:While the future of the social category of "cadres" is now an object of considerable questioning within society, sociology has remained silent on the subject for the last fifteen years. This indifference is the effect of the disappearance of the question of social classes within sociological debates, as the discipline has focussed on a number of more descriptive approaches, in terms of professional groups. The aim of the present article is to apprehend the dynamics of the process of destabilisation which the managerial category, cadres, is currently undergoing. The analysis starts out from the concept of a select "trustworthy salaried class" and its crisis. Placed in a position of more acute subordination relative to the movement of capital, the managerial category of "cadres" nonetheless retains certain forms of autonomy specific to them, a feature which renders it impossible for us to reduce the changes registered in their social condition and experience to the notion of proletarisation.
