no

Summary/Abstract: We intend to do an analysis of family and school norms and values as they are presented in AnnieErnaux’s “La Honte” by a feminine narrator-character, who relates her existence to a crucialmoment, namely by placing face-to-face these two universes which turn out to be very different atall levels. School has a contradictory and unhinging role, revealing to the narrator-character herbelonging to a social class which is dominated and perceived as being an inferior class. In ourcontext, the contact with school universe generates the self’s fracture, a reconsideration of thefamily values and norms and will represent a factor of integration into a superior class and adisintegration from her origin life forms. As theoretical basis for this study we are going to use thesociological analyses provided by Pierre Bourdieu in “Les Héritiers”/ “The Inheritors” and “LaDistinction”/ “Distinction”.
