Comment vivent les familles fortunées ou moins fortunées de ce que l'on appelle la grande bourgeoisie et l'aristocratie française ? Quels sont leurs réseaux de relations, leurs codes de reconnaissance et d'appartenance à ce milieu social ? L'originalité de l'ouvrage tient aux dix années d'enquêtes et d'entretiens dans cet “espace social”. C'est aussi une analyse du regard que ces familles portent sur elles-mêmes à travers les divers articles qu'elles suscitent dans les médias. Les auteurs expliquent la pratique des entretiens, l'observation, et l'écriture de cette enquête exemplaire qui est régulièrement rééditée depuis sa première édition en 1997 dans la collection Sciences sociales et sociétés. Cette deuxième édition Quadrige est mise à jour.

This anthropological monograph focuses on the everyday experiences of young, highly educated women in contemporary Jordan. It carefully analyses their powerful contributions to social change as well as the strategies they employ in dealing with the problems they generally face. In their struggle to find recognition, religion (Islam and Christianity) often plays a major part and helps them to empower themselves, which is also reflected in this account. The study discusses family relationships, social networks, gender constructions, religiousness, and women's roles in various social spheres. It sheds light on how these young women actively influence transformations in their society and re-negotiate their own and other people's social position, and how they, in turn, are highly influenced (and often restricted) by the socio-cultural environment in their efforts towards change.

The British have always been concerned about accent, appearance and class, but at no time during the twentieth century was 'keeping up appearances' more important than during the 1920s and 1930s. From the impecunious youth anxious to create a favourable impression at the local tennis club dance to female office workers advised by the Daily Mail that women in business kept 'their position partly, if not chiefly, by appearance', we peer into the initmate lives and anxieties of the middle classes as they dressed to impress. Choices were influenced as much by the advent of mass production, ec
