The Old Regime (of Mutualisation) and the Revolution (of Big Data)
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In his classic work L'ancien régime et la révolution, Alexis de Tocqueville proposes a reinterpretation of the French Revolution: behind the spectacular ruptures associated with the event, profound continuities are at play. Beyond the specific case of the French Revolution, Tocqueville calls for vigilance in mobilizing the notion of revolution
