The Middle Class ‘at Home among the Poor’ — How Social Mix is Lived in Parisian Suburbs: Between Local Attachment and Metropolitan Practices

Abstract: How do households belonging to the middle classes decide to come live in a 'poor'city in the Parisian suburbs? What makes them stay? What are the judgements and strategies that have been brought to bear both individually in their daily lives and as a social group in terms of their collective involvement and their relationships with other social groups? What does this kind of 'social mix' imply in terms of social practices, local and social belonging? This article shows that attitudes towards social mixing have… Show more

“…The awkwardness of this interview encounter and Moira's presumption that the interviewer is judging her in some way reflects this ambivalent position. Furthermore, the recognition of the compromises (Bridge 2003;Bacqué et al 2014;Reay et al 2011) that people moving into the neighbourhood were making locates her position as part of a wider trajectory of change.…”

“…The experience of difference is marked by everyday grievances often centred on the breaching of expected codes of conduct. In addition, 'home' spaces of comfort and familiarity are removed in processes of demolition and displacement (Butcher & Dickens, 2016).The outcome of encounter under these conditions has been widely documented, debated and variously described as agonistic, if not antagonistic (Britton, 2011;Butler, 2003;Harris, 2010;Permezel & Duffy, 2007;Vertovec, 2015;Vieten & Valentine, 2015;Watson, 2006), marked by the micro-politics of aggression and resentment (Bacqué, Charmes, & Vermeersch, 2014;Bloch & Dreher, 2009;Crozier & Davies, 2008;Drew, 2011;Tissot, 2014), as well as tolerance, conviviality and sharing (Neal, Vincent, & Iqbal, 2016;Wessendorf, 2014;Wise, 2005).…”

“…La forte présence de classes populaires et des minorités visibles induit, chez certains habitants, en particulier ceux issus des classes moyennes et supérieures, un sentiment de malaise qui conduit certains à envisager leur départ du quartier. Cela est bien entendu à mettre en relation avec la variété des trajectoires rési-dentielles des enquêtés et les projets fortement différenciés dont chacun était porteur lors de son arrivée dans le quartier (Bacqué, Charmes, Vermeersch, 2014;Simon, 1995;Chamboredon et Lemaire, 1970). Alors que certains appartenant aux classes les moins aisées n'ont pas choisi ce quartier et n'ont pas le choix de le quitter, d'autres, issus des classes moyennes et supérieures, vivent d'autant plus mal l'évolution du quartier qu'elle ne correspond pas à l'idéal dans lequel ils s'étaient projetés en venant s'y installer : la mixité à laquelle ils venaient participer, aussi fantasmée soit-elle, n'existe pas ou, en tout cas, n'existe plus.…”

“…Notre recherche s'inscrit dans le prolongement de différents travaux qui ont analysé les transformations de la banlieue rouge en région parisienne, c'est-à-dire une configuration sociale et politique particulière reposant sur l'existence d'une identité collective fondée sur des rapports au travail, des modes de sociabilité et un réseau organisationnel spécifiques et charpentée par une politique municipale (Fourcaut, 1986;Bacqué et Fol, 1997;Raad, 2014;Bacqué et al, 2014). Nous reviendrons en préalable sur l'histoire du centre-ville de Saint-Denis pour montrer à quelles transformations urbaines et à quel projet politique correspond sa rénovation.…”
