 Epiphanies. Pragmatic sociology and anthrozoological difference 
This research note aims to underline the relevance of pragmatic sociology to study the evolution of the relationship between humans and animals. First, we will discuss the privileged relationship between pragmatic sociology and the anthropological question, which makes it one of the most appropriate approaches for analysing accounts on anthrozoological differences. Second, through the analysis of a documentary film promoting animal assisted activities practices, we will show the analogy between two central notions in pragmatic sociology (“test” and “affordance”) and the way actors account for the difference between humans and animals. Finally, we will defend the interest of talking about the “sociology of epiphanies” in order to revive the initial interest of pragmatic sociology in ontological qualification processes.
