ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I take a short break from engaging with individual trajectories in order to engage with the findings presented so far with a view to discussing how they disrupt the couple tradition/modernity. To do so, I develop and challenge a systematic chain (Derrida, 1988) which associates schools with modernity and families with tradition. I refrain from imposing a rigid separation between schools and families, and allow the discussion to shift between the two spaces, as required by the flow of the argument. I conclude by suggesting that the multiplicity of discourses identified here is both constitutive, and constituting of, the individuals belonging, crossing, and ultimately navigating each site.
