- English abstract
- Space has become a crucial parameter in the current discussion around social issues in France. Geographer Christophe Guilluy developed the theory of La France périphérique stressing that the truly disenfranchised people in France live in peri-urban spaces. This text engages with two authors exploring the dichotomy between the centre and the periphery in different ways: whilst Edouard Louis discusses his up-bringing as a gay man in rural Picardy from his point of view as a neo-Parisian, Eric Chauvier in La Petite ville returns to his hometown as an ethnographer.
