What evaluation can be made of some twenty years of sociological research dedicated to the uses of communication tools? From a critical standpoint, this article explores the history of this research current (characteristics of researchers and research teams, sources of research funding, etc.) which emerged along with the development of the information and communication technologies and subsequently expanded to include the study of other media and various communication devices. The author's heuristic approach leads her back to the theoretical origins of the sociology of uses, and to identify the issues that contributed to its genesis and subsequent evolution. The main contributions of the sociology of uses to the understanding of communication phenomena are also presented. This investigation finally enables her to consider the prospects of the sociology of communication uses and, in view of the rise of empiricism, to plead for firmer inclusion of it in the social sciences.
