| Summary: | In the course of the last century, and still more singularly in the last fifty years, the family has undergone major transformations. The domain of the family has thus seen the appearance of a multitude of terms reflecting he emergence of these new realities, but also and perhaps especially, their progressive social recognition or, at the very least, the questions they raise being placed on the social agenda. In this article, starting from two pairs of emerging concepts (parental couple and conjugal couple on the one hand, and multi-parenting and multi-parenthood on the other), we propose some reflections on the potentialities and limits of the categories of intelligibility produced and popularized by researchers in the social sciences.“When it comes to the social world, words create things, as they establish the consensus on the existence and meaning of things, the common sense, the doxa, accepted by all as self-evident” (Bourdieu, 1993 :33). |
