| Summary: | In France, rare are the fathers who take a parental leave. This article relates to these very few men. We wonder to which extent their experience makes it possible to build up a singular paternity and maternity ? This empirical survey is based on 27 interviews of some of these men together with their partners. First of all, we look at the profile of these atypical couples. We then focus on the creative dimension of the parental practices of the fathers interviewed, and beyond on the reshaping of the parental roles. New practices are set up ; renegotiations appear and contribute to a redefinition of the male and female identities. |
