Abstract :	[en] Sociology’s knowledge-making practices consist primarily in cutting social reality (realities) into distinct, but overlapping and abstract entities, which are variously juxtaposed and micro-/macrofied depending on the underlying theoretical assumptions as they are “worked” by researchers. (Social) research as an ongoing process of cutting abstract entities is thus producing an almost infinite plurality of scales. In this sense, it is not surprising that we periodically assist at the emergence of new “turns”, from the cognitive to the material and the linguistic or emotional. This group addresses persons who are interested in working on how persons-as-researchers-and-theorists-cut-and-invent-social-reality. For the organizers, the work of Andrew Abbott as well as Marilyn Strathern has inspired the following questions: How do social theories cut, invent and try to covenant social reality? How is social reality cut, invented and covenanted in so-called professional contexts? How is social reality cut, invented and covenanted by methods of social research?
