Abstract

[eng] On the contemporary pluridisciplinarity in finance . In a first step, we present the consequences of the growing sophistication and « consumer oriented » dimension of the financial reality. We argue for this evolution tends to increase a symbolization process of finance. We introduce then the technological evolution of finance (essentially characterized by the growing computerization of finance) and its main consequences for the financial markets. In the last section, we present the epistemological consequences of this double evolution of the financial reality. We argue for this evolution allows a development of several theoretical frameworks that leads to a « pluridisciplinarity » in finance. According to us, this multiplication of theoretical frameworks can be in relation to the evolution of the financial reality. Therefore, this double evolution of the finance enhances two kinds of analysis : a finance with meaning based on the symbolic and/or the psychological dimension and a finance without meaning based on the ability to apply physical or computer models. . JEL classification : G19, G0, B41 [fre] Dans un premier temps, nous présentons les conséquences d’une sophistication et d’une « dimension marketing » grandissantes de la réalité financière. Ces évolutions sont directement associées à un processus de symbolisation de la sphère financière. Dans une seconde partie, l’informatisation, au sens large, de la réalité financière est abordée. Nous évoquons, par la suite, les principales conséquences de cette évolution technologique. Enfin, nous terminons le présent papier en présentant les conséquences épistémologiques de cette double évolution de la réalité financière qui conduit, selon nous, à une pluridisciplinarité grandissante en finance des marchés. Selon nous, la multiplication des cadres d’analyse théoriques en finance peut trouver un élément d’explication dans l’évolution contemporaine de la sphère financière qui favorise deux types d’analyses : une finance « avec signification » et une finance « sans signification ». . Classification JEL : G19, G0, B41
