L'ordinaire des rapports au genre

To what extent do individuals make use of discourses and representations of norms, gender relations and gender and sexuality identifications to interpret, judge or (self-)classify? Drawing on in-depth empirical surveys, the researches gathered in this book explore the "ordinariness" of gender relations through the identity categorizations mobilized in different areas of social life: in the private sphere (cooking practices, education, abortion), the professional sphere (early childhood professions, research), the activist sphere (Nuit Debout, parents' association), or at the crossroads of several arenas (construction of Islam as a public problem). They analyze the way in which identity categorizations (relating to gender, but also to race and class) contribute to maintaining or, on the contrary, subverting gender relations.
