Bottom races ---- The collection "Telling Life" Threshold tries to explain the literature
everyday life today, in all its most banal. In the form of diary which is customary, Annie
Ernaux tells us the wonderful world of hypermarkets. More specifically, the hypermarket
Auchan in the mall of Trois-Fontaines in Cergy. ---- Without going into a sociological or
anthropological analysis, Annie tells Ernaux practice hypermarket and shares his thoughts
and his observations on the world of retail, artifice for us to consume, its widespread
surveillance, its sexism, its advertising manipulations, ambient racism ... But far from
being limited to a critique of capitalist modernity, Annie Ernaux shows us how people
attempt to reclaim this mall. How it tends to play the social role of the old village
square ... but a village square which would be privatized and hypersurveill?e. This
booklet provides a reflection on these important malls in our cities ... and on our way to
(re) invest.
