Abstract

La réputation a acquis une valeur importante sur de nombreux marchés du travail. C'est du moins ce que souligne le développement des pratiques individuelles, notamment au travers des réseaux sociaux en ligne, visant à développer la réputation. Cependant, alors qu'un nombre croissant de recherches se penche sur la réception de la réputation par des publics variés, le travail réputationnel la produisant reste largement inexploré. Cet article aborde la production de la réputation par la mise en lumière de cinq facettes de ce travail en se penchant sur les aspects tangibles et concrets sur lesquels il repose plutôt que sur la dimension subjective de son produit. Pour ce faire, il mobilise les données produites durant une enquête ethnographique multisites et digitale réalisée aux États-Unis et en Europe avec des individus pour qui la réputation possède une valeur fondamentale, les grimpeurs professionnels.Reputation has acquired significant value in many job markets, judging by the growth of individual practices aimed at developing it, mainly through social networking sites. Yet, while a growing number of studies are focusing on the reception of reputation by various audiences, the labour involved in the production of reputation remains largely overlooked. This article examines the production of reputation by analysing five facets of reputational labour. It focuses on the tangible and concrete aspects of reputation building, rather than on its subjective dimension by drawing on a multi-sited ethnography in the USA and Europe, carried out with individuals for whom reputation is of fundamental importance: professional climbers.
