Local knowledge production in colonial situations: government sciences as producers of differentiation in Lyon
Résumé
The paper analyses the production of knowledge and its mobilisation in public action towards the Algerians in the Lyon metropolitan area, during a problematic historical sequence of French history-colonialism and its legacy following the decolonization. It aims at highlighting the forms of domination and governance imposed by the State services and its street-level bureaucrats on the Muslim populations. Through a large corpus based on the archived sources coming from the French Interior Ministry (services of the Prefect), I try to demonstrate the relationships between knowledge and power, illustrated in the field of housing and urban policy and revealing the rejection and/or exclusion experienced by these populations, setting up a systemic discrimination.
