| Summary: | Determining or naming people using ethnic categories is forbidden according to the so-called French Republican integration pattern. Yet designating and describing them are two types of categorisation, each one corresponding to two ways of dealing with these “minorities”. The first being the judicial and administrative approach – the institutional one; and the second the ethnic and racial vision – which is popular. It is in the very implicit and ambiguous connection of these two representations (Streiff-Fénart, 1998), in which the ethnic categorisation is involved and deals with the acceptance of the other. While recreating the socio-historical process of the immigrant naming from the 1970s to the 2000s, the article aims at questioning the speech devices used in habitat and housing policies in the Lyon agglomeration. In other words our goal is to analyse how to tackle the immigrant problem in housing policy, and how it is applied in public policy. Using ethnic naming and technical tools (“seuil de tolérance” i.e. the level of acceptance; the markers of social mix) enable to highlight the ideological pre-conceived perceptions, neither defined nor analysed – i.e. concentrating, the population balance. |
