Elective Affinities 2.0?

Although Pierre Bourdieu’s works treated partnership formation, the processual and intersubjective character of mating and the gender-specific resources convoked in reciprocal evaluations and rating practices are blind spots in his perspective based on homophilous lifestyle preferences. Consequently...

Consequently, this article develops a framework of mating processes extending Bourdieu’s theory and thereby provides a starting point for empirical assessments.

Si Pierre Bourdieu a bien évoqué les mécanismes de la formation du couple, le caractère processuel et inter-subjectif de la rencontre, comme les ressources spécifiques aux différents genres qui sont mobilisées dans les évaluations réciproques et dans les jugements sentimentaux demeurent des angles morts de sa perspective, fondée sur l'idée d'une homophilie des styles de vie. Cet article présente un cadre théorique pour penser les processus de formation du couple qui élargit la théorie de Bourdieu et constitue ainsi un point de départ pour des investigations empiriques. A partir de données issues de l'un des principaux sites de rencontre allemand, il montre que, du fait de la nature dyadique de la rencontre, de la pression liée à la présentation de soi et à la question du choix, ainsi que du haut degré de compétition entre les partenaires potentiels, les sites de rencontre constituent un marché idéal-typique qui autorise l'étude fine des processus de classification. Nous poserons tout d'abord le cadre d'un modèle général de classification réciproque dans la formation du couple, en raffinant le modèle bourdieusien, avant de présenter la structure des données et leur intérêt méthodologique et méthodique. Enfin, une application empirique simplifiée d'un modèle de rencontre et de classification est présenté. Il suggère que l'homogénéité (plutôt que l'homophilie) est renforcée, et non sapée, par les conditions techniques de l'interaction sur Internet.
