Student: Durand Pauline

Educational Programme: Cultural Studies (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2020

This work is devoted to a study of the life of French social districts and their image formed and present in the public mind. Therefore, first, the process of creating the districts in the twentieth century is reconstructed, establishing their correlation with the more general concept of “ghetto” and outlining their characteristic lifestyle and interrelationship with the French state. Second, the image of social districts is examined in films about them, in “street art,” and interviews collected for this research.
