CURRENT RESEARCH:
BODY, HEALTH, DIFFERENCE
My research works with several theoretical frameworks (social relations of power, sociology of health, sociology of the body), applying them to the (re)production of social difference- in terms of the body, gender, socioeconomic status and race/ ethnicity- in different domains of health care. The objective is to analyze the ways in which different actors participate in constructing difference within medical or health establishments or within programs seeking to improve or alter the bodies (health, esthetics) of “specific” populations (i.e., pregnant women, migrants, people living with illness, the elderly). The aim is also to understand the effects of these (re)productions of difference, such as the reinforcement of norms or social power, and how these processes impact the social experiences, reactions and health trajectories of the targeted individuals.
DOCTORAL RESEARCH (2010) :
Abstract: Aiming to elucidate the links between interethnic relations, gender and socioeconomic status in the postcolonial society of Tahiti, French Polynesia, this research focuses on ‘Mainlander’- ‘Polynesian’ interethnic couples. Despite discourse on ideal mixing, which interethnic unions have come to exemplify, their discourse shows that the use of categorizations contributes to (re)producing ethnic differences within the family. The categories are situated within hierarchies through oppositions constituted in terms of ‘evolution’ or ‘modernity’, which imply socioeconomic status. Gender crosscuts these hierarchies. The dual representation of ‘Polynesian’ women as vectors of ‘modernity’ and submissive (myth of the vahine) or as dominant (myth of the matriarch), depending on the ethnic belonging of her spouse, contributes to maintaining a racist hierarchy. In addition, while the celebration of interethnic couples in which the man is ‘White’ is based on the ‘ethnic status’ of the latter, portrayed as emancipator of the vahine, couples in which the woman is associated with dominant ‘ethnic status’, less frequent to form, testify to stigmatization and disapproval. Interethnic couples are at the crossroads of these power relations, which form interlocking systems of ‘gendered racism’ and normative male domination within the couple. The combined consideration of these couples’ accounts and representations, as well as statistics concerning the social characteristics of interethnic couples, reveals the mechanisms of the coproduction of social power relations, which intervene in everyday social interactions, including those of the intimate and familial spheres.
Theoretical framework :
Social relations of power (gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status), social regulation, ‘intersectionality’, coloniality of power
