[...] In conclusion, Enes throughout the interview focuses on the domestic space, insisting both as a place of preservation of family heritage, but also as a guarantor of the religious institution. Moreover, the description of his life within his family focuses on a sometimes unequal distribution of spaces. One of the points that would have been interesting to explore further in this interview would have been to know how Enes and his sisters behave in public space7. If he returns to the limited possibility of women traveling alone, he does not mention how outside of his home, he behaves or lives according to his social codes. Boudjeriou, F. [...]
[...] In Enes' statements, we understand that family heritage is transmitted during a primary socialization where the language spoken here is Arabic, the adopted religion is Islam, which continues throughout his secondary socialization where he remains faithful to his religion, to the codes transmitted by his parents and participates in their development through sharing with peers within associations, for example.

He mentions the need to preserve his culture, to respect traditions. These behaviors are inscribed in an habitus2 familial that has determined his choices of life and his way of approaching the world. [...]
[...] The house is managed by women, who organize themselves according to a convening matriarchal model that exercises resistance to the official patriarchal model and thus redefine the rules. Thus, the mother who is also the wife occupies the central role of the house and around her is organized the socialization and spatial distribution of children, with a spatial priority given to women. Enes says: My mother is just as much a pillar as my father. She is the one who directs and orders everything that happens inside the house. In reality, she is even the real executive leader, nothing is done without her consent. [...]
[...] He says he lived between Algeria and France, and like many descendants of Algerian immigrants, he was raised with both cultures. However, if we analyze the statements made during the interview, we can only conclude the weight of family heritage and the presence of social codes. We can thus cite several excerpts from the interview as follows: I grew up in a fairly conservative family in terms of tradition, culture, and language.[ . ] a family that seeks to preserve its culture, language, education, way of life, and this, regardless of the place and context[ .
