| description | This article studies the sexual division of labour when organizing the wedding ceremony. Men’s and women’s temporalities gradually diverge through the various steps of wedding preparation (from elaboration of the project up to the "big day" itself). Women spend more time than men on collective tasks. The wedding ceremony is not only a key moment in founding the couple, but also a step towards instituting and embedding the “unequal sharing” of domestic work within the couple. The different symbolic and technical tests women go through to metamorphose into a spouse and bride make them learn how to become the "perfect wife". |
