For a sociology of unemployment?

As an industrial sociologist, he became interested in the field through the analysis of unemployment, in particular, questioning the emergence of a professional identity of the unemployed. As such, he is also interested in other emerging fields claiming "pseudo-professional" identities; for example, he has worked around the status of free software developer in a free software community and questioned the reasons for such a commitment,^[2] hesitating between volunteering, activism and professionalism.^[3]
