Gouverner la vie privée
This book combines several fields (socio-legal studies, intersectionality studies, public policy analysis, and the sociology of work) in order to assess a prime concern on the social and political agenda, that of the legal regulation of break-ups. Due to its ambivalence between liberalism and normalization, the government of intimacy contributes to the contemporary arrangement of class, gender and race. Based on three series of qualitative and quantitative collective studies, its greatest originality is to compare the institutional framing of private inequalities between two national contexts, France and Quebec (Canada), so that it highlights the scope and limits of their convergence.
