ABSTRACT
Sociology’s task can be conceived as one of making strange what is taken for granted in ordinary life. Problematising culture that has become second nature, inquiring into the social causes of events, going beyond what is accepted by common sense and appears to us immutable rather than historical, constitutes not only the very scientific purpose of the discipline, but also a particular way of approaching the world, a certain sociological perspective, even sensibility. A world that is made by human beings and is thus also subject to change by them. Human beings who constantly produce meanings and interpretations of their surroundings and their actions, who act as a result of these interpretations they make of the world they inhabit.
