La dimension ethnique dans le travail des chauffeurs de taxi parisiens

Sociabilité, pratiques et organisation du travail quotidien

Abstract

This article offers some ethnographic insights on the work of taxi drivers in Paris during waiting times in a space where several groups are gathered. In doing so, we suggest a reading of the "ethnic" relationships that they maintain through their everyday sociability and the professional commitments that can find their way into these relationships. We take the example of two trajectories to illustrate from cases studies the imbrication of the different dimensions at work, following the thread of their professional and social trajectories.
