AB  - This  paper  seeks  to  underscore  how present sociological characteristics  favour  the naturalizing of 
current discriminations. Starting with the example of the axiological discrimination between experts 
(observers) and the groups they themselves stratify (objects of study). Favouring the naturalization of 
the normal (i.e. objects of study whose behaviour is similar to that of the observers’) and of moralism 
(i.e. the implicit strangeness imbedded in the social theories and the classifications of the objects of 
study). Favouring the search for the causes of misery and violence in individual free will, evading the 
configurational co-responsibility  of  social  conditions  in  the construction  of the mechanisms  and 
environments with which people live and to which they react.
The dissimulation of intentions and socio-political views that legitimize institutional violence is one of 
the characteristics of our times. It is worthwhile remembering how the separation between the action 
and its representations, the nomination of those against whom violence may be exercised, is ancestral. 
What should the role of the social sciences be: simply to monitor stigmatized violence (its negative 
form) or to participate in the construction of violence as instrument of social orientation (sometimes 
positive others negative)?
