One is not born a worker or a boss, one becomes one from father to
son... or almost. Social reproduction is not an iron law; it admits
of exceptions that must be accounted for in order to measure its
scope. This book aims to understand the passage from one social
class to another and to forge a method of approaching these
particular cases which remain a blind spot in the theory of social
reproduction. It analyzes the political, economic, social, familial
and singular causes that contribute to non-reproduction, and their
effects on the constitution of individuals transiting from one
class to another. At the crossroads of collective history and
intimate history, Chantal Jaquet identifies class locations, the
interplay of affects and encounters, and the role of sexual and
racial differences. She invites us to break out of disciplinary
isolation in order to grasp singularity at the crossroads of
philosophy, sociology, psychology and literature. This requires
deconstruction of the concepts of social and personal identity, in
favour of a concepts like complexion and the criss-crossing
determinations. Through the figure of the transclass, it is thus
the whole human condition that is illuminated in a new light.
