Summary

Laurent Gajo offers a Swiss perspective from a mixed Italo-French family in a time when only men could transmit their nationality. Very soon convinced he was more than two passports, his research led him to education and specifically to the conceptualization of plurilingualism and the "didactization of alternation" that could respond to the complexity of classrooms.
