Les projets d’implication paternelle à l’épreuve de la première année

Abstract

Projects for fathering : the test of the first year. The birth of a child to a couple is not neutral. But while this arrival itself is quite well understood, having been studied extensively for the mother, the reactions of the father remain poorly understood. This article seeks to define and analyse the involvement of fathers in the arrival of a child. Drawing on a series of interviews conducted before the birth of the child and in its early months, the authors show how the fathers react and construct their paternal identity on different levels : personal-what notion of fatherhood do they develop ? Familial-how, for example, do they construct their status of father in relation to the mother ? and social-the impact of the birth on their working lives.
