description	This article focuses on the relationship between industrial novels and industrial sociology. It is contended that industrial novels are valuable, but often neglected (possibly secondary or even primary) sources for sociology. This is particularly the case when industrial novels themselves are also based on empirical sources. This article deals with some exemplary modernist American industrial novels published in the first decades of the 20th century. These are Upton Sinclair’s industrial novels on working and living conditions in Chicago’s meat packing houses (1906), American coal mining (1917 & 1976), and Henry Ford and his motor company (1937) as well as a major industrial novel, “U.S.A.” (1938), written in the onset of the Great Depression by John Dos Passos. It turns out that industrial sociologists not only can benefit from the content of industrial novels. Also, the methods applied by the authors of these novels are relevant. In particular elements of Dos Passos’s radical experimental modernism could enrich existing sociological research tools.

Cet article s’intéresse aux relations entre le roman industriel et la sociologie du travail. S’il est admis que le roman industriel constitue une source précieuse, il est encore trop souvent négligé alors qu’il pourrait constituer d’excellentes sources secondaires pour la sociologie. C'est particulièrement le cas lorsque les romans industriels sont eux-mêmes basés sur un travail de terrain. Cet article se concentre sur quelques romans industriels américains modernistes emblématiques, publiés dans les premières décennies du XXe siècle. Il s'agit des romans d'Upton Sinclair qui traitent des conditions de travail et de vie dans les abattoirs de Chicago (1906), dans les mines de charbon américaines (1917 et 1976) et dans l’usine automobile d’Henry Ford (1937), mais également d’un roman industriel majeur, U.S.A. (1938), écrit au début de la Grande Dépression par John Dos Passos. Les sociologues peuvent ainsi non seulement se référer au roman industriel, mais également aux méthodes appliquées par les auteurs de ces romans qui se révèlent tout à fait pertinentes. Le modernisme expérimental radical de Dos Passos pourrait parfaitement enrichir les outils de recherche sociologiques existants. Este artículo se enfoca en las relaciones entre la novela industrial y la sociologia del trabajo. Si bien se afirma que la novela industrial constituye una valiosa fuente, con mucha frecuencia todavía se le margina mientras que podría crear excelentes fuentes secundarias para la sociología. Particularmente es el caso, ya que las novelas industriales están basadas en un trabajo de campo. Este artículo se concentra en algunas novelas industriales americanas modernistas emblemáticas, publicadas en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Se trata de las novelas de Upton Sinclair abordan las condiciones de trabajo y de vida en los mataderos de Chicago (1906), en las minas de carbón americanas (1917 y 1976) y en la fábrica automotriz de Henry Ford (1937), pero también de una novela industrial relevante, U.S.A. (1938), escrita a principios de la Gran Depresión por John Dos Passos. De este modo, los sociólogos pueden no sólo referirse a la novela industrial, sino también a los métodos aplicados por los autores de esas novelas que se revelan a todas luces pertinentes. El modernismo experimental radical de Dos Passos podría perfectamente enriquecer las herramientas de investigación sociológicas existentes.
