Ce mémoire porte sur la situation sociale de jeunes banlieusardes françaises, racontée par elles-mêmes dans des livres écrits par de jeunes femmes auteurs des quartiers. L’étude s’appuie sur des récits de genres divers ; des rapports sociologiques, des autobiographies et un roman. Le mémoire est divisé en trois parties : La première traite de conditions de vie où les femmes écrivains parlent d’économie, habitat, école, formation et travail. La deuxième partie traite de l’identité et la situation des jeunes femmes quant aux rapports filles-garçons, positions dans la société, rapports avec la police, possibilités démocratiques et l’avenir. La troisième partie parle d’intégration, traditions, mœurs et religion.

La thèse porte sur l'étude comparée de trois configurations artistiques situées dans des espaces historiquement gérés par des élus communistes (Saint-Denis, Nanterre, Conseil général de la Seine-Saint-Denis). Dans ces configurations, il s'est agi de mettre au jour les logiques sociales et historiques permettant la reconnaissance de certaines formes artistiques (théâtre, fêtes de ville, cirque, arts de la rue, hip hop, musique principalement). L'approche repose sur une analyse dispositionnelle et relationnelle des individus impliqués dans ces phénomènes de légitimation ou d'illégitimation artistiques. Remonter aux schèmes de perception du monde social et aux contextes de leur actualisation permet d'en comprendre les ressorts. Cette analyse a permis d'identifier l'existence d'individus politisés s'engageant dans les mondes de l'art ou dans le champ politique pour subvertir les rapports sociaux dominants. Outre l'analyse des conséquences de ces engagements sur le paysage artistique, la thèse porte sur l'étude des incidences biographiques, territoriales et politiques croisées. Position sociale, engagement et institutions locales sont dialectiquement liées. Au cours de leur engagement, ces individus atteignent les classes moyennes et en constituent une strate bien spécifique : politisée, autochtone et disposant d'un capital culturel non certifié par des diplômes. L'existence de cette strate, dans les espaces étudiés, a des incidences sur la structuration de la société locale. L'autochtonie et les essais de définition d'une société basée sur un "roman national" post-colonial sont les deux dimensions qui ont été principalement étudiées. / My thesis focuses on the comparative study of three artistic configurations located in spaces historically run by communist elected representatives (Saint-Denis, Nanterre, General Council of Seine-Saint-Denis). In these configurations, I uncover the social and historical logics leading to the recognition of certain art forms (mainly theater, municipal festivals, circus, street arts, hip hop, music). My approach is based on a dispositional and relational analysis of individuals involved in these processes of artistic legitimization (or delegitimization). The study of these processes is conducted by analyzing individuals’ schemes of perception of the social world and the contexts in which these schemes are used. This analysis identified the existence of politicized individuals committed in the worlds of art or in the political field in order to subvert the dominant social relations. In addition to analyzing the impact of these commitments on the artistic landscape, my thesis focuses on the study of their biographical, territorial and political consequences. Social position, commitment and local institutions are dialectically linked. Through their commitment, these individuals reach the middle class and constitute a very specific stratum thereof: politicized, indigenous and possessing cultural capital that is not certified by diplomas. The existence of this social stratum, in the studied areas, has implications for the local social structure. I mainly studied two dimensions of these implications, namely Indigeneity and the definition of a postcolonial national narrative.

This study examines the term beur as well as the category it defines, both in terms of individuals who identify as beur, and the genre of literature that stems from the beur population in contemporary France. I begin by first suggesting that the notion of beur as a category and label serves as a third space in the binary of French culture and Maghrebi culture. This third space is necessary as the children of Maghrebi immigrants in France find themselves in between each culture and the sphere of influence that follows. The term is then problematized. The theme of binaries and the third spaces that emerge because of the problematic nature of the binaries is recurring throughout my study. I explore what these third spaces are by examining four contemporary French novels: Faïza Guène’s Kiffe kiffe demain and Un homme ça ne pleure pas, Ahmed Djouder’s Désintégration, and Brahim Metiba’s Ma mère et moi. The characters in each of these works struggle with their identity as they forge their own third spaces as solutions to various binaries that they discover they cannot fit into. In my study, I demonstrate this in three realms: integration and engaged citizenship; familial relationships, primarily parent-child relationships and the generational difference that further complicates pre-existing cultural difference; and gender roles. Each of the narratives and the main characters conveys the problematic nature of viewing French and Maghrebi culture in a binary. In my explication of the text, I argue that each narrative works towards the creation of a new third space in varying ways. / Master of Arts

this thesis investigates, whether or not, and to what degree architecture effects the urban and social segregation of suburbs which are built primarily to house industrial labor in times of economic growth. the city of clichy-sous-bois, which became well known because of its riots in 2005 was the particular focus of this study. the work informs the reader about the historical background of clichy and its dedicated french metropolis paris. it gives background information about the riots of 2005 and today's situation of the banlieue. then, the thesis follows some general examples about the "haussmannisation" of paris and gives a short insight in the statistical coherences of crime and urbanism. after that, it takes a quick look at special housing examples in east-germany and vienna. it concludes with a summary and comparison of researched information and a possible proposal to improve the conditions in clichy-sous-bois. / Master of Architecture
