Les r\u00e9int\u00e9gr\u00e9.es dans l\u2019enqu\u00eate TeO2 : une recherche en terrain troubl\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La proc\u00e9dure de r\u00e9int\u00e9gration \u00e0 la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise, ouverte en 1804, a \u00e9t\u00e9 peu \u00e9tudi\u00e9e en sciences sociales. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e8re des d\u00e9colonisations, elle a offert aux ressortissant\u00b7es des anciennes colonies la possibilit\u00e9 de recouvrer la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise perdue apr\u00e8s les ind\u00e9pendances. Cette recherche explore ce dispositif m\u00e9connu \u00e0 partir de 37 entretiens biographiques men\u00e9s avec des personnes (re)devenues Fran\u00e7aises par diverses proc\u00e9dures, r\u00e9int\u00e9gration comprise, contact\u00e9es gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un partenariat avec l\u2019INED et un acc\u00e8s aux donn\u00e9es de la deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9dition de l\u2019enqu\u00eate Trajectoires et Origines (TeO2, INED-INSEE). Trois objectifs guident l\u2019\u00e9tude : (1) comparer les exp\u00e9riences de r\u00e9int\u00e9gration \u00e0 d\u2019autres modes d\u2019obtention de la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise (filiation, naturalisation), (2) contribuer aux d\u00e9bats sur la nationalit\u00e9 en tant que \u00ab lien l\u00e9gal \u00bb et \u00ab lien \u00e9motionnel \u00bb, et (3) explorer la complexit\u00e9 des articulations entre identit\u00e9s de papiers et sentiments d\u2019appartenance en se focalisant sur le rapport au droit de la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise des ressortissant\u00b7es des anciennes colonies. Nos entretiens r\u00e9v\u00e8lent tout d\u2019abord des ambigu\u00eft\u00e9s fr\u00e9quentes parmi les enqu\u00eat\u00e9\u00b7es dans la description du processus d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise. Cependant, ces ambigu\u00eft\u00e9s n\u2019expliquent que partiellement les diff\u00e9rences observ\u00e9es dans les donn\u00e9es de TeO2 entre la cat\u00e9gorisation des personnes interrog\u00e9es et la mani\u00e8re dont elles ont \u00ab r\u00e9ellement \u00bb obtenu la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise. Parmi les personnes interview\u00e9es qui sont r\u00e9pertori\u00e9es comme r\u00e9int\u00e9gr\u00e9es dans TeO2, tr\u00e8s peu ont en effet obtenu la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise par r\u00e9int\u00e9gration. Ce trouble dans les donn\u00e9es ne d\u00e9pend pas seulement des d\u00e9clarations des enqu\u00eat\u00e9\u00b7es. Il r\u00e9sulte aussi de la mani\u00e8re dont les cat\u00e9gories juridiques sont d\u00e9finies dans l\u2019enqu\u00eate TeO2 et, plus globalement, de la difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 positionner les trajectoires individuelles et familiales dans la complexit\u00e9 du droit de la nationalit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise. Notre \u00e9tude montre \u00e9galement que, plut\u00f4t que d\u2019\u00eatre en opposition, usages \u00e9motionnels et usages pragmatiques du droit de la nationalit\u00e9 apparaissent \u00e9troitement li\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle individuelle. Les choix relatifs au maintien, \u00e0 l\u2019adoption ou \u00e0 la renonciation d\u2019une nationalit\u00e9 mettent en tension des consid\u00e9rations \u00e9motionnelles et des consid\u00e9rations pratiques, que chacun\u00b7e interpr\u00e8te diff\u00e9remment en fonction de son parcours personnel et familial. Bien que, d\u2019un point de vue historique et juridique, les r\u00e9int\u00e9gr\u00e9\u00b7es forment un groupe singulier parmi les Fran\u00e7ais\u00b7es par acquisition, leur exp\u00e9rience de l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la nationalit\u00e9 se distingue peu de celle des personnes devenues Fran\u00e7aises par d\u2019autres voies. Certain\u00b7es r\u00e9int\u00e9gr\u00e9\u00b7es peuvent r\u00e9trospectivement pr\u00eater \u00e0 la proc\u00e9dure la signification qu\u2019iels n\u2019\u00e9taient pas enti\u00e8rement \u00e9tranger\u00b7\u00e8res. Toutefois, la d\u00e9marche n\u2019est pas v\u00e9cue sur le mode du \u00ab retour \u00bb \u00e0 une nationalit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle iels se seraient toujours senti\u00b7es attach\u00e9\u00b7es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to other modes of access to French citizenship, the \u201creintegration\u201d procedure has never given rise to any in-depth social science study. Present since 1804 in the French Civil Code, this procedure entered a new era during decolonisation, allowing nationals of former French colonies to regain French status. This research focuses on shedding light on the often-overlooked reintegration procedure. It is based on 37 interviews with individuals who acquired French citizenship through various legal avenues, including reintegration. These interviews have been facilitated through a partnership with the National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) and the possibility of relying on the TeO2 survey (Trajectories and Origins, survey on the diversity of the population in France INSEE-INED). The study pursues three main research objectives: (1) comparing reintegration experiences with other modes of obtaining French citizenship (descent, naturalisation), (2) contributing to debates on citizenship as both a \u201clegal\u201d and an \u201cemotional\u201d bond, and (3) exploring the complex articulation between legal status and sense of belonging, focusing on the relationship to French citizenship among individuals from former colonies. The research first reveals frequent ambiguities among interviewees in describing the process of obtaining French citizenship. However, these ambiguities only partially explain differences observed in TeO2 data between the categorisation of interviewees\u2019 modes of access to French citizenship and how they actually became French. Among those labelled as \u201creintegrated\u201d in the TeO2 survey, very few indeed obtained French citizenship through the reintegration process. This disparity in data is not solely attributable to the statements made by respondents; it also hinges on how legal categories are defined in the TeO2 survey and, more broadly, on the challenges of situating personal and familial trajectories within the complexities of French citizenship law. The study also highlights that, instead of being in conflict, the emotional and pragmatic uses of citizenship law are closely interconnected at the individual level. Choices regarding retaining, acquiring, or renouncing citizenship introduce a tension between emotional and practical considerations, with each individual interpreting these decisions based on their personal and familial background. While reintegrated individuals hold a historical and legal distinction as a unique category among French citizens by acquisition, their experience of acquiring citizenship does not significantly differ from those who became French through alternative means. Some reintegrated individuals may retrospectively perceive the procedure as indicating that they were not entirely \u201cforeign\u201d to France. However, the process is not perceived as a \u201creturn\u201d to a citizenship to which they always felt connected.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","disciplines":[114,621,115],"collections":[119],"publication_tag":[2960,711,2958,2959,2957],"auteurs":[2961,2962],"class_list":["post-11700","publications","type-publications","status-publish","hentry","disciplines-droit","disciplines-science-politique","disciplines-sociologie","collections-rapports-de-recherche","publication_tag-conscience-du-droit","publication_tag-immigration","publication_tag-nationalite","publication_tag-postcolonial","publication_tag-reintegration","auteurs-emilien-fargues","auteurs-emmanuel-blanchard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nContribution \u00e0 une \u00e9tude de la conscience du droit de la nationalit\u00e9<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Entretiens avec des personnes (re)devenues Fran\u00e7aises par diverses proc\u00e9dures.
