Etude des principaux concepts qui définissent le genre dans la société contemporaine et la pratique concrète des différences homme-femme dans la sphère privée comme dans celle professionnelle. L'analyse sociologique s'attache en particulier à la perception du genre à l'école ou dans le sport.

In the course of my previous research, I realized that asking young French women about their body appearance was an interesting way to gather information regarding gender and sexuality. For this thesis, I generalized the analysis of the opinions about appearance and clothes, adding men's opinions and an intergenerational comparison.This qualitative investigation is based on sixty interviews with men and women, who have been interviewed about their clothing tastes and opinions regarding body appearance. I carried out this study in the political context of the vote on the same-sex marriage law, at a moment (2011-2015) when the "gender topic" was sensitive.

Chapter 1 describes the historical context of women's and men's different preferences in terms of choice of clothes. Then, in chapter 2, I try to explain the modalities through which taste in clothes and the associated "techniques of the body" (Mauss: 1934) are transmitted.

Chapter 4 analyzes opinions concerning gender hierarchy and some way of dressing that aim at subverting this hierarchy. I finally discuss the point of view of those who attach an importance to the symbolic accentuation of sex differences in chapter 5. ; Ayant remarqué, au cours de mes recherches de master, que questionner les jeunes Françaises sur leur apparence était un outil privilégié pour accéder à des informations concernant le genre et la sexualité, j'ai poursuivi ma ...
