Abstract

This article studies the ambiguities of an innovative mentoring program seeking to improve access to jobs for young working-class graduates. On the one hand, the program has an emancipatory impact, insofar as it intends to "fix" the "social elevator" in order to reestablish an equality of opportunities, in line with the French republican myth. On the other hand, the normalizing and adaptative aims of these actions go strongly against this emancipatory purpose. But what does the mentoring program and its corresponding practices entail? We characterize and analyze them from a critical perspective, using Michel Foucault's "technologies of the self" and Jacques Lacan's "Imaginary".
