Resilience: moving from a “heroic” notion to a sociological concept
This paper presents a specific sociological theoretical framework to the concept of resilience. To do so, we reviewed the main theoretical developments on resilience, focusing our attention on the development of a “heroic” perspective of resilience.

Il énumère les principaux développements théoriques autour de ce concept dans différentes disciplines scientifiques. Une attention particulière est portée à la critique de ce que nous appelons la vision “ héroïque ” de la résilience, dont les prémisses limitent fortement son application dans la recherche empirique en sciences sociales. À sa place, nous développons un concept de résilience basé sur des contributions de la théorie sociale et des études de la pauvreté et nous proposons un modèle d’opérationnalisation du concept fondé sur deux dimensions : mobilisation des ressources et transfert des risques. Nous concluons l’article en proposant un agenda de recherche sociologique pour la résilience. Este artículo busca la pertinencia sociológica del concepto de resiliencia.
