Florence Weber

Florence Weber is Professor of Sociology and Social Anthropology at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. She is a practitioner, theorist and historian of ethnography, and works on the plurality of social scenes in the same historical period, which has led her to cooperate with historians and economists on calculation practices as a revelation of the norms of interaction in different contexts: the male domestic economy in working-class environments in the 1980s, the institution of amateur gardening in France in the 1880s-1950s, land transactions in medieval Italy and the untraceable professionalization of care for the daily disabled in France since 1905.
