Summary: | Based on a questionnaire distributed to a selected sample of students, teachers and members of the administrative and service staff of a French university campus, we have shed light on the normative standards common to founding a social life. This observation casts doubt on the thesis suggesting that a vast gamut of social life, and most particularly in urban environments, is in a state of generalized “meltdown” today, synonymous with a collapse of collective reference points and the dissolution of normative reference frames. In other words, the article shows that an institutional urban territory like the university still belongs to a Durkheimian-Goffmanian world, i.e. a world structured around consolidated ways of being. |
