Fabrique politique de l'École, fabrique scolaire du politique

Who governs schools today? What role does it play in tackling societal problems and regulating relations between social groups? To what extent is it still, or more than ever, a crucible of political attitudes and behavior? From a resolutely multi-disciplinary approach - combining sociology, political science, history, geography and education sciences - this book sheds new light on the contemporary relationship between school and politics, analyzing the political shaping of the school order and the school shaping of the social and political order. From educational policies to parental mobilizations, from ministerial reforms to the ordinary resistance of those they are intended for, the contributions show the school as a decisive cog in the wheel and a key battleground in the exercise of a public power that is in the midst of recomposition. They also show the weight of the educational institution in the stratification of social space beyond diplomas, as well as its importance in the politicization of individuals, facts and social relationships.
An invitation conceive school as a space of political power and uprising.
