How to fight social determinism ...? This is the question that Olivier Delacroix, host of La Libre Antenne, is asking each evening about Europe 1, and his co-director Katia Maksy, as part of their documentary series entitled Les combattantes . After talking about the women living in the 93, those who live in the regions most affected by insecurity, the two journalists are interested this time in the story of the so-called "well-born" women. Understand those who do not have money problems, who are studying and living in a stable family environment.
But this does not mean that they are spared by this question of determinism. "It seemed important to me to go to the other side, where one easily imagines that women born in noble or bourgeois environments are content with it," Olivier Delacroix explains to Europe 1. "So No, not at all In these circles there are rules, a very strict education, a religion that is very present, and here too we have women who say 'no' to all this, who are in love with freedom, who want to be masters of their destiny. "
"These people, we sleep with, we do not marry them"
To illustrate what the director has just told us, we must listen to Diane, in an excerpt of the documentary that will be broadcast Tuesday night on France 5. This woman has made the choice to marry a man from another social class that she, and it was not really the taste of her parents. "It's Hiroshima, as if we had slapped them, and the reflection of my mother, appalling: 'these people, we sleep with, we do not marry them'", she testifies in front of camera.
Here is Diane, one of the " combatants " that you can find Tuesday night in the documentary "They broke the codes" on France 5, from 20:50.
