La ville au centre. Lire la société par l'urbanité

Jacques Lévy

On a souvent tendance à se représenter le monde urbain comme une réalité sociale spécifique, comme un territoire isolable ou un morceau de société distinct des autres. Dans cet article, je voudrais inciter à le regarder comme une dimension qui traverse l’ensemble des mondes sociaux contemporains. Si l’on procède ainsi, on s’aperçoit que l’urbanité – ce qui fait le propre de l’urbain – constitue aussi un véhicule pour aborder quelques uns des enjeux majeurs des sociétés d’aujourd’hui.
