内容简介
······
On thinking the matter through, it doesn't seem exaggerated to assert that my coming out of the sexual closet, my desire to assume and assert my homosexuality, coincided within my personal trajectory with my shutting myself up inside what I might call a class closet. — from "Returning to Reims"
After his father dies, Didier Eribon returns to his hometown of Reims and rediscovers the working-class world he had left behind thirty years earlier. For years, Eribon had thought of his father largely in terms of the latter's intolerable homophobia. Yet his father's death provokes new reflection on Eribon's part about how multiple processes of domination intersect in a given life and in a given culture. Eribon sets out to investigate his past, the history of his family, and the trajectory of his own life. His story weaves together a set of remarkable reflections on the class system in France, on the role of the educational system in class identity, on the way both class and sexual identities are formed, and on the recent history of French politics, including the shifting voting patterns of the working classes — reflected by Eribon's own family, which changed its allegiance from the Communist Party to the National Front.
"Returning to Reims" is a remarkable book of sociological inquiry and critical theory, of interest to anyone concerned with the direction of leftist politics in the contemporary world, and to anyone who has ever experienced how sexual identity can clash with other parts of one's identity. A huge success in France since its initial publication in 2009, "Returning to Reims" received enthusiastic reviews in "Le Monde, Liberation, L'Express, Les Inrockuptibles," and elsewhere.

读到内伤，social climbing，self-invention， 祝愿中译本顺利出版
人人生而自带诸多标签，生物学、地理位置和文化都是这些标签的贡献者。当人存在于社会中，这些标签就变成了identity。社会的运转机制会鼓励某些标签，而倾向于消除另外一些标签的存在。作者却试图抵抗社会的运转机制，自行决定他要保留哪些标签，摒弃哪些标签，创造哪些先天不存在的标签。他的identity从工人阶级，变成了知识分子和同性恋。逃离故乡和原生家庭，是为了摆脱某些标签。重新回归，是接纳自己的全部。…
Trying to reconcile with my past
Only an epistemological break with the way in which individuals spontaneously think about themselves renders possible the description of the mechanisms by which the social order reproduce itself.
