Alain Touraine on the feminisation of the world
In an interview with the daily's Turin correspondant, Domenico Quirico, the French sociologist Alain Touraine speaks about his new essay entitled 'The World of Women' in which he turns the tables and gives them the floor.
Women's time has come not because they are liberated but because it is they who, given their different culture, are able to transform everyone's attitudes and life.
"'The World of women' does not deal with the way women live. It describes an imagined world in which all initiative has passed to women. There was always a masculine world.
Today, we have a world orientated towards the feminine. Which is to say that in Europe we have all gone from a society geared towards conquest - of the world, of science, of wealth - towards a culture geared towards internalisation, the individual and self-knowledge."
