A study and assessment of the career of Frederic Le Play (1806-1882), now recognised as a founder of modern sociology. The main theme consists of a detailed and impartial analysis of Le Play's thoughts on the relationship between society and technology. His contributions to fields other than sociology are also considered.

After the heroic nudes of the Renaissance and depictions of the tortured bodies of Christian saints, early seventeenth-century French artists turned their attention to their fellow humans, to nobles and beggars seen on the streets of Paris, to courtesans standing at their windows, to vendors advertising their wares, to peasants standing before their landlords. Realism and Role-Play draws on literature, social history, and affect theory in order to understand the way that figuration performed social positions.
