Drawing on a sociological study concerning “recognized” refugees in France and Bulgaria and their search for work, this article aims at opening a research field about the gender dimension of their relationship to work. The refugees who become workers generally experience this transformation as a los...

The refugees who become workers generally experience this transformation as a loss of social and professional status that destabilizes their identity and amplifies the rupture with their habitual world that exile entails.

At the same time gender norms can offer resources and enable strategies that allow individuals to adjust to a new condition generally considered unenviable. À partir d’une recherche sociologique portant sur la quête de travail des réfugiés dits « reconnus » en France et en Bulgarie, cet article se propose d’ouvrir le chantier de l’étude de la dimension genrée de leur rapport au travail. Les femmes et les hommes réfugiés devenus ouvriers vivent généralement cette nouvelle condition comme un déclassement social et professionnel, sous le mode de la perte de statut et de la fragilisation identitaire, ce qui amplifie l’expérience, propre à l’exil, des ruptures avec le monde habituel. Nous examinons comment ces ruptures peuvent s’accompagner de différents types de transformation de l’identification genrée (de la déstabilisation au renforcement des stéréotypes « virils » ou « féminins »), et comment les normes de genre peuvent offrir différentes ressources, et rendre possibles différentes stratégies, pour faire avec une nouvelle condition généralement considérée comme peu enviable. |
