Two main policies of despecialization have been implemented in the french political system: participatory democracy and parity. To understand political specialization and despecialization, it is necessary to go beyond the classical sex-race-class intersectional triptych. One should take into account other social divisions structured around social resources like political, cultural and social capitals. This article argues that, to be useful in studying political specialization and despecialization, intersectionality analysis needs to be enriched by sociological theory of forms of capital. Indeed, social divisions structured around forms of capital are particularly relevant to understand the social selection of political electives and that of ordinary citizens in participatory devices. Keywords: Despecialization of politics, French politics, Intersectionality, Parity, Participatory democracy.[es] Paridad y participación: las incuestionables relaciones de poder de dos políticas de democratización francesas Resumen: En el sistema político francés se han implementado dos políticas de despécialisation fundamentales: la democracia participativa y la paridad. Para entender este proceso es necesario acudir a la triada clásico de la interseccionalidad, sustentada en el sexo, la raza y la clase. Pero esta triada debería tener en cuenta otras divisiones sociales estructuradas sobre diversos recursos como los capitales cultural, político y social. Así, este artículo argumenta que la interseccionalidad necesita ser enriquecida con estas formas de capital procedente de la teoría sociológica para ser más útil en el estudio de estas tendencias de despécialisation. De hecho, se concluye que son particularmente relevantes para entender el perfil tanto de las personas seleccionadas para los cargos políticos como de la ciudadanía que se incorpora a los dispositivos de participación.

“…Cependant, si ces facteurs extrapolitiques sont relativement connus, les règles propres au champ politique le sont moins. La tendance à recruter des femmes hors des réseaux partisans, volontairement entretenue par les leaders politiques (Achin et Dulong, 2002 ;Latté, 2002), ne facilite pas leur investissement dans le mandat. Celles-ci ont une faible appétence pour les responsabilités électives et, par conséquent, considèrent l'exercice comme peu gratifiant, contrairement aux élus, hommes et femmes, familiarisés à la vie politique dans les partis.…”

“…While male candidates were recruited for the importance of their political capital (e.g. their experience, electoral titles, partisan labels and ideological positioning within their party), the newly recruited women were for the most part uninitiated; instead of political experience, they had the biographical background that list leaders wanted to display on the electoral stage (Latté, 2002).…”

Is it necessary to draw on details from a person’s ‘private life’ to describe his (or her) ‘public life’? During fieldwork conducted on the politics of a medium-sized French city, the authors garnered a good amount of information – real or alleged – about the sexuality of local elected officials (most often women). Rather than keeping sexuality out of the scope of their research, as is common in social sciences, the authors examine how it is used locally to interpret political life. They look at two elected municipal officials with atypical career paths whose rapid rise to power defied the common rules of political selection, and who were rumoured to engage in romantic relationships with men who benefitted from a greater political capital. The study addresses two dimensions: social explanation by sexuality, which requires analysing the social functions of rumours; and the sociological explanation of sexuality, which implies examining the political role of sexuality. For both of these dimensions, the authors draw from analyses of the political context: the use of these sexual explanations does not make sense per se, but can only be understood within the context local politics in France during the 2000s, shaped by the application of the parity law. Finally, the demonstration leads the authors to plead in favour of normalizing the analysis of intimate relationships.
