L'insoumission en héritage, which analyses the influence of Pierre Bourdieu on critical thinking and political emancipation. The same year, he edited the collective work, Pierre Bourdieu. In 2013, he officially changed his name to Édouard Louis. In 2011, he was admitted to two of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in France, the École Normale Supérieure and to the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris. He is the first in his family to attend university. The poverty, racism, alcoholism and his homosexuality which he dealt with in his family during his childhood would become the subject of his literary work. His mother found occasional work bathing the elderly. Louis grew up in a poor family supported by government welfare: his father was a factory worker for a decade until "One day at work, a storage container fell on him and crushed his back, leaving him bedridden, on morphine for the pain" and unable to work. Édouard Louis, born Eddy Bellegueule was born and raised in the town of Hallencourt in northern France, which is the setting of his first novel, the autobiographical En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule (2014 published in English in 2018 as The End of Eddy). Édouard Louis (born Eddy Bellegueule 30 October 1992) is a French writer. École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) Unlike modernist and postmodern poetics of subjective emptiness or fragmentation, Louis uses narration as an instrument for achieving the process of subjectivation, tending towards de construction of solid and unilateral personality, feeling at ease in parceled society, where different classes and communities have no common code to communicate and know each other.Hallencourt, Picardy, France (present-day Hallencourt, Hauts-de-France, France)
Once subsumed in the logics of storytelling and lived through experiences, the categories of social analysis aren’t just neutral anymore, and reveal the presence of irreconcilable divisions and wounds, while culture is no more the language of mediation, being completely assimilated by the identarian stiffening of different social groups. Using the resources of narratology, we will be able to describe the relationship between the narrative discourse and the life form of a minor subjectivity, as a world of experience entirely marked by conflict and domination. On the one hand we have a pitiless description of endured violence and repression, on the other there is a distant critical judgement on his native environment.
En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule is a sociological novel of formation, where the author, the young sociologist Edouard Louis, tells about his own experience as a marginalised homosexual in the context of French working class through a first-person narrative.
