Le rapport des classes populaires aux institutions : essai de construction d’un objet sociologique, by vincent dubois – 2026
Those belonging to the lower classes are especially vulnerable to socio-economic challenges, as well as to the transformation of public policies and services designed to address their needs. They are both the most dependent on institutions and the most alienated from the norms they convey. To comprehend these tensions, the research program presented here examines the relationship between individuals and institutions from the perspective of the trajectories and experiences of those who interact with them. By investigating how these individuals engage with institutions and how institutions influence them in return, this program assesses the impact of transformations in public action on the lower classes and illuminates the contemporary manifestations of institutional influence and disengagement among their members.
