The World "Down There" Portrayal of the Working Class in A Man's Place by Annie Ernaux and Returning to Reims by Didier Eribon
 Strand, Matylda ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Šuman, Záviš (referee)
The thesis analyses the portrayal of the working class in two texts: A Man's Place by Annie Ernaux and Returning to Reims by Didier Eribon. Both texts draw heavily on the thought of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the thesis thus summarises concepts central to the interpretation of the selected works. Given its position at the intersection of literature and sociology, one chapter is devoted to the question of genre as an indicator of the possible modes of reading. Both texts aim to describe a collective, a social class, but Eribon and Ernaux each choose a radically different literary strategy. Through this personal journey, the narrators attempt to restate the image of the social class from which they originate. The description of the working class is not reduced to economic differences as sociocultural differences are emphasized. The themes raised by the texts extend well beyond the literary field: the description of the marginalized subject is deemed a political act.
