Yes, that is certainly the case: the students are not the same, the teachers are not the same, the reputations are not the same. As I wrote in the post, “The Sorbonne does a pretty good job of integrating its traditional stone architecture with its pristine self-presentation as a simultaneous icon of wealth, prestige, and the French establishment…” I think this post takes for granted that the universities are very sociologically different from each other; the project thus becomes one of trying to document how these social and symbolic differences become visible.

les matières et professeur-e-s ne sont pas non plus les mêmes, ni n’ont les mêmes “réputations”
