Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. | | French term or phrase: logiques sociales | Text on photographer Olivier Culmann:
Olivier Culmann a photographié à travers le monde les téléspectateurs devant leurs écrans et leurs téléviseurs. Constat de l’état des corps et des âmes face aux échos du monde filtrés par les écrans. Sur le fil d’une subjectivité revendiquée s’égrainent les questions récurrentes de la liberté humaine et de son conditionnement. A travers son observation anti-ethnographique de ces passages imposés d’une vie moderne, il interroge avant tout le mystère de nos ***logiques sociales*** et des moyens d’y échapper. |

19 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 the chains of our society
Explanation:
Just a suggestion, but bear with me as I explain where I'm coming from:
In the context of social determinism, living inside a society conditions its members, who then can only act/think inside the society's own frame of thought, its "logique".
Thus, I think that "nos logiques sociales" means "how we perpetuate our own society by acting as we were taught", and I attempt to render this meaning with a translation that suggests that society limits us.
There may be a better way of expressing this in English, but that is what I understand it to mean.
Note that the next part of the sentence, about "escaping", might be seen to confirm this interpretation.
