Un libro che è in parte autobiografia in parte un saggio. Lo rende sicuramente strano l’abbondanza di note e di riferimenti bibliografici che si inseriscono nel racconto di episodi della vita dell’autore.
Aver letto Reckwitz poco prima mi ha fortemente condizionato. Ho cercato di identificare i segni della contrapposizione tra epoche con paradigmi differenti e devo ammettere che non è stato difficile. L’autore rappresenta in modo chiarissimo l’esigenza di costruire una propria identità usando intensamente la cultura ed in particolare una cultura ‘antagonista’ che si basa sulle proprie origini ma se ne allontana allo stesso tempo. Altro elemento chiarissimo: la contrapposizione tra una realtà operaia e borghese ormai al tramonto presente a Reims e la nuova società caratterizzata dal predominio di professioni culturali presente a Parigi. È ancora: la contrapposizione tra hypercultura e quello che Reckwitz definisce ‘cultural essentialism’ presente nelle varie comunità che l’autore descrive ed in particolare in quelle che prendono le distanze dalle forme di individualizzazione e sviluppo soggettivo, dalle forme di sviluppo di identità diverse, di ‘noi’ differenti. Interessante la riflessione sul profondo conflitto personale con le proprie origini, il conflitto tra il se radicato nel proprio passato e il se che tenta di emergere autonomo alimentandosi di cultura. E ancora: l’equivalenza tra sinistra e destra nel rappresentare la classe operaia nei diversi periodi che l’autore esamina.
Mi riesce difficile capire come può questa storia essermi vicina. È così lontana per tanti aspetti, a volte diametralmente opposta, eppure qualcosa sento che c’è.

The less salacious of the two Foucault bios I devoured some 20 years ago {https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/107966.The_Passion_of_Michel_Foucault being the other) . I had went to tour a facility in Ohio for work. Every turn provided some down time and another spin into this fascinating figure. Looking back, I think I invented excuses and dodged some duties: I suppose I thought I was combatting hegemony by my being distracted.

This approach situated MF into certain traditions as well as movements. Miller sought to configure Foucault's sexual practices as being evidence of his theoretical bend.… (mehr)

Na zijn interview in de Groene leek Eribon me sympathieker dan hij in dit boek naar voren komt. Gepresenteerd als een terugkeer van deze succesvolle hoogleraar sociologie en mediapersoon naar zijn 'roots', een arbeidersgezin uit Reims, na de dood van zijn vader, maar toch eerder een sociologische verhandeling over kansarmen en kansrijken. In zijn analyses heeft E. meestal wel gelijk, maar ze zijn erg 'dik' geschreven, met wel tamelijk opblazen van de kloof hoog-laag (maar misschien was die in Frk jaren 50-70 wel groter dan Nl.) en met erg weinig oog voor de verschillen binnen de klasse 'boven' hem (zoals typisch en ook logisch is voor sociale stijgers). Wat hij over de onderdrukking van homo's zegt spreekt me meer aan dan wat hij over die van arbeiders zegt; ook logisch. Wat me het meeste tegenviel is zijn gebrek aan werkelijke terugkeer, aan sympathie met zijn ouders en broers, aan een poging tot contact. Ik vind het onbegrijpelijk dat iemand veertig jaar zijn familie niet wil zien, m.i. toch ook uit arrogantie en kilte.… (mehr)

Like many gay men, Didier Eribon moved to the big city and effectively broke off contact with his parents when he came out — he was prompted to write this memoir largely by the process of renewing his relationship with his elderly mother, decades later, when she found herself having to cope with his father’s illness and death.

In the book, he reflects on how both his sexuality and his choice of an academic career cut him off from the rough, working-class background he grew up in, and at the odd ways in which the two interact. It is quite consciously written as a book by an academic, for academics, and it’s written in the finest sociologese (a dialect that at least has the merit of being no harder to understand in French than it is in English...). It can be tough for a lay reader to follow in places, and occasionally it almost reads as though Eribon is just making fun of himself, but it is worth battling on through the jargon. Eribon takes his personal experiences and bounces them up against political and sociological theory and against the parallel experiences of writers who have influenced him - Sartre, Marx, Foucault, Bourdieu, etc., but also, less obviously, Annie Ernaux, Raymond Williams, James Baldwin and Patrick Chamoiseau. And he comes up with some interesting conclusions about the problems that are inherent in the relationship between academic left-wing thought and the real working-class that it claims to represent.

One aspect of the book that has got a lot of media coverage is his analysis — drawn from his mother’s admission that she “only once” voted for Le Pen — of the way the Left may have made space for radical right-wing ideas by moving into the comfortable mainstream of politics. But this is actually a rather minor part of the book, and he doesn’t really develop this idea very far. What was interesting, though, was the point he made about the complexity of the act of voting. People don’t simply vote to express their agreement with a candidate’s policies, or in their own interests (in press interviews more recently he’s taken this further to talk about not only the way his mother — a pensioner dependent on social security — would have lost out if Le Pen had got in, but also the turkey/Christmas referendum in the UK). But there also seems to be something more than a little patronising about his attitude: he seems to accept that working-class culture is necessarily racist, sexist, homophobic, and that you can only get beyond that by engaging people in some cause that makes them see beyond their own noses (striking workers show solidarity with their black colleagues...).

What I found particularly interesting about the book was the frankness of Eribon’s discussion of his feelings about his working-class background, which actually do seem to come very close to those Ernaux expresses in her books (in very different language!). There is the same feeling of shame and embarrassment at his (perceived) coarseness and ignorance compared to his bourgeois fellow-students, the same guilt about having abandoned “where he came from”. And the same anger about the education system that pretends to provide equal opportunities but is actually designed to favour kids from nice, respectable middle-class backgrounds at every stage.

Also interesting to see his thoughts about how expressing his sexuality as a gay man required him to develop an identity different from the one he grew up in, so reinforcing the tendency to become middle-class (and a sport-hating aesthete — yes, we’ve all been there and done that...!).

Not an easy book, but worth reading if you’re interested in class and sexuality and how they interact.
