Free party : une aire de Je(u) dans l’air du temps

Abstract

Free party is looked upon as a round-up of heterogeneous people, an uncertain and short-lived event where status and social role of those taking part in the festival are erased. The most important thing for the entrants is to have a very good time while everybody tries to be fulfilled by overtaking oneself.In spite of transgressions, this individual experience is not of the agenda of a breaking off program against the society. Free party is rather seen as a temporary autonomy zone (TAZ) which brings to the roisterers the feeling of their own existence.
