Bon article du @letemps mais qui n'apprend rien de nouveau à quiconque suit ces questions. Ce qui est décrit ici s'appelle le ou deuxième horaire et a été déjà étudié par les sociologues américains dans les années 80, notamment Arlie Horschild, qui a donné ce titre à un de ses ouvrages. Le problème est à la fois simple et compliqué: en gros, les familles servent à élever et fournir de la force de travail au monde économique.

Arlie Russell Hochschild: The Managed Heart : Commercialization of Human Feeling (2012)

The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling, by Arlie Russell Hochschild, was first published in …

After two books by #EvaIllouz on #capitalism and #emotion, this one by #Hochschild seems like an almost logical step in my new reading adventures! I remember reading « The #secondshift », which she published in the 1980's and it is one of the college assignments that particularly influenced my views on #feminism, especially the issue of housechores sharing (or rather lack thereof) among couples and how this socio-cultural phenomenon has been hampering efforts to reach socio-economic equality between men and women. It seems to me that the #managedheart is located at the crossroad between the aforementioned works. I'll see how it turns out and I already look forward to it.
