L'arrangement des sexes

Rate this book
Le genre du monde est une série dirigée par Danièle Kergoat. Sous ce label sont publiés des livres qui, en explorant les rapports hommes-femmes, contribuent à renouveler la compréhension des sociétés.
Erving Goffman, l'inventeur de l'infiniment petit en sociologie, cherche la domination masculine non seulement dans les discriminations ou les comportements couramment dénoncés comme sexistes, mais aussi et surtout dans les gestes du quotidien, dans chaque situation où la différence des sexes est mise en jeu, mise en scène comme expression d'une prétendue « nature ».

L'arrangement, alors, c'est la construction sociale du genre, qui donne à des différences biologiques entre les sexes, non pertinentes dans la plupart des entreprises humaines, une si grande importance sociale.

About the author

Erving Goffman

56 books525 followers
Erving Goffman was a Canadian-born American sociologist, social psychologist, and writer, considered by some "the most influential American sociologist of the twentieth century".
In 2007, The Times Higher Education Guide listed him as the sixth most-cited author of books in the humanities and social sciences.
Goffman was the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. His best-known contribution to social theory is his study of symbolic interaction. This took the form of dramaturgical analysis, beginning with his 1956 book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Goffman's other major works include Asylums (1961), Stigma (1963), Interaction Ritual (1967), Frame Analysis (1974), and Forms of Talk (1981). His major areas of study included the sociology of everyday life, social interaction, the social construction of self, social organization (framing) of experience, and particular elements of social life such as total institutions and stigmas.

Hyper rapide à lire. L'intro remet bien en contexte. C'est un peu daté, mais démonte bien l'idée de différence biologique comme argument explicatif du sexisme.

Non pas que le propos soit faux et la démonstration impertinente, mais ça ne va pas très loin, notamment pour Goffman…
