Abstract
The sociology of absences consists of an inquiry that aims to explain that what does not exist is, in fact, actively produced as non-existent, that is, as a non-credible alternative to what exists. The objective of the sociology of absences is to transform impossible into possible objects, absent into present objects. Likewise an important task of CSR in the public and in the private spheres of the economy is to reveal the unknown stakeholders of specific organizations and of economic and social institutions; to transform non existent or (better) not known stakeholders, into known stakeholders, and to generate collective action from new (previously unaware) stakeholders. Unveiling unknown stakeholders is then one specific instance of the sociology of absences.
