Abstract
The rising distrust and the surveillance over expert knowledge highlights how the professions and societies
maintain a paradoxical relationship: the latter both needs as much as it suspects the former. This tension requires a
sociological reading able to clarify the role of ethics and professional commitments. This constitutes the underlying
thread for this thematic dossier. Within its scope, readers shall encounter theoretical and empirical contribution that
enable a better interpretation of the relationships between professions and societies and thereby better grasping the
processes that generically frame the ideas around the suspicion of the professions.
