DUCLOS, Mélanie. (Re)socialization from Below. Alternative forms of Socialization and the New Popular and Informal Economies Found in Parisian Flea Markets. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.199-215. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda29.2017.09.
At the end of the 1990s and especially from the start of the 2000s, new forms of a popular economy developed in France and in Europe in general: informal street-market economies where face-to-face relations and a shared otherness prevail. The Parisian flea markets are examples of the precarious conditions in which they emerge and their potential to act as a socializing dynamic, insofar as they provide opportunities of re-socialization for those who are excluded from the formal economy and/or have lost their attachment to work, friends or family. They also serve as entry points to the city for newly-arrived immigrants. As such, these markets are outstanding places for socialization. But of what kinds? What is the link between their social and economic dynamics and how do the many different social identities of the participants interact? To answer those questions, our hypothesis is that these new forms of a popular economy in Europe are an ideal venue for the alternative forms of (re)socialization from below, where it is not so much the neighborhood that forms the basis of an alternative society, but rather the market as a globalized territory.
