Abstract


The author gives a scoop of the studies, led during the last forty years, by all kinds of experts, and from different points of view, on the relation between writing and social structure. Directed at the beginning by linguists such as M. Cohen and by East European experts who follow the marxist trend, these ideas have given birth on the one hand to a wide range of historical studies about elimination of illiteracy and, on the other hand, to strictly palaeographic theses to study the function of the document and of writing for ancient and medieval societies.
