<br/><br/> For the author, hair, this modest cuticle, is a figure of the obscene. When hair appears, it sows disorder, frightens, disgusts or fascinates. Omnipresent in the imagination, hair occupies a special place in the poetic and spiritual universe. Sometimes exhibited, sometimes hidden, hair is the image of contemporary corporeality: the object of self-determination, for the individual of today, in the uses and staging of his body. Social work, for which the body is one of the first places of action, is sometimes confronted to a greater or lesser degree with this management of identity affirmation in which hair becomes a signifier, a standard, or a symptom.
