    Series Statement: Explorations in Heritage Studies 2
    Keywords: Heritage Formation; Heritage Use; Heritage Contestation; Social Movements; Heritiage Activism; Contested Heritage; Dissonant Heritage
    Abstract: Heritage processes vary according to cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This volume is unique in that it is dedicated to approaching the analysis of heritage through the concepts of social movements. Adapting the latest developments in the field of social movements, the chapters examine the formation, use and contestation of heritage by various official, non-official and activist players and the spaces where such ongoing negotiations and contestation take place. By bringing social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates a shift of perspective in understanding heritage, one that is no longer bound by (at times arbitrary) divisions such as those assumed between the state and people or between experts and non-experts.

    Keywords: Bedouin, World Heritage, Heritage Protection, Petra, Jordan, UNESCO
    Abstract: Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks: How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the past in the present?

    Keywords: Global Pentecostalism, Global Evangelicalism, Christianity in Melanesia, Christianity in Africa, Anthropology of Pentecostalism, Anthropology of Christianity, Global Christianity
    Abstract: Co-authored by three anthropologists with lonǵterm expertise studying Pentecostalism in Vanuatu, Angola, and Papua New Guinea/the Trobriand Islands respectively, Going to Pentecost offers a comparative study of Pentecostalism in Africa and Melanesia, focusing on key issues as economy, urban sociality, and healing. More than an ordinary comparative book, it recognizes the changing nature of religion in the contemporary world ́ in particular the emergence of ́non-territoriaĺ religion (which is no longer specific to places or cultures) ́ and represents an experimental approach to the study of global religious movements in general and Pentecostalism in particular.

    Keywords: Legitmation, Chinese Divination, Anthropology of China, Superstition, Fortune Telling, Contemporary China
    Abstract: Having long been stigmatized as an immoral and even illegal ́superstitioń, the popular practice of divination is experiencing a revival in contemporary China. Fate Calculation Experts explores how diviners attempt to achieve legitimation in a society which identifies strongly with modernity, science, and rationality. As well as associating with modern knowledge production systems, diviners build a positive social image for their occupation via claims to moral authority and appeals to ́traditioń. Beyond matters of image management, divinerś efforts towards legitimation also figure in the social relationships and fundamental cultural values they develop in their practice.

    Series Statement: Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology 24
    Abstract: Contemporary public discourses about the ocean are routinely characterized by scientific and environmentalist narratives that imagine and idealize marine spaces in which humans are absent. In contrast, this collection explores the variety of ways in which people have long made themselves at home at sea, and continue to live intimately with it. In doing so, it brings together both ethnographic and archaeological research ́ much of it with an explicit Ingoldian approach ́ on a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods.

    Abstract: Extinct Monsters to Deep Time is an ethnography that documents the growing friction between the research and outreach functions of the museum in the 21st century. Marsh describes participant observation and historical research at the Smithsoniańs National Museum of Natural History as it prepared for its largest-ever exhibit renovation, Deep Time. As a museum ethnography, the book provides a grounded perspective on the inner-workings of the world́s largest natural history museum and the social processes of communicating science to the public.

    Abstract: Combining theoretical and empirical discussions with shorter ́thick descriptioń case studies, this book offers an anthropological exploration of the emergence in Malaysia of lifestyle bloggers ́ precursors to current social media ́microcelebritieś and ́influencers.́ It tracks the transformation of personal blogs, which attracted readers with spontaneous and authentic accounts of everyday life, into lifestyle blogs that generate income through advertising and foreground consumerist lifestyles. It argues that lifestyle blogs are dialogically constituted between the blogger, the readers, and the blog itself, and challenges the assumption of a unitary self by proposing that lifestyle blogs can best be understood in terms of the ́dividual self.́

    Keywords: Refugees, Germany, Asylum Seekers, Political Asylum, Cultural Diversity, Refugee Crisis
    Abstract: The arrival in 2015 and 2016 of over one million asylum seekers and refugees in Germany had major social consequences and gave rise to extensive debates about the nature of cultural diversity and collective life. This volume examines the responses and implications of what was widely seen as the most significant and contested social change since German reunification in 1990. It combines in-depth studies based on anthropological fieldwork with analyses of the longer trajectories of migration and social change. Its original conclusions have significance not only for Germany but also for the understanding of diversity and difference more widely.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage collectif propose une réflexion de politistes et de sociologues qui s'adosse aux travaux de Daniel Gaxie. C'est l'occasion de reprendre le débat autour des nombreux domaines qu'il a défrichés, qu'il s'agisse de travaux sur la représentation et la professionnalisation politiques, sur la politisation des « profanes », sur le militantisme et ses rétributions ou encore sur les luttes au principe de l'action publique. Le pari était le suivant : montrer comment cette sociologie qui, dans les années 1970, dévoilait les ressorts sociaux d'un enchantement largement partagé de la politique démocratique, montrant la faible démocratisation du recrutement des représentants, définissant les contours d'un « cens caché », critiquant une vision héroïsée de l'action publique, pouvait analyser aujourd'hui un monde politique nouveau, largement désenchanté (« crise » de la représentation, suspicions autour de l'activité politique, jugements désabusés sur son impuissance...). La fameuse lutte contre les prénotions qui habitait le métier de sociologue doit désormais emprunter des chemins beaucoup plus escarpés. Les textes réunis posent frontalement la question de l'actualisation des apports de cette sociologie politique et s'interrogent sur les manières de la renouveler en soulignant des manques, en suggérant des prolongements et en proposant des pistes pour l'avenir

    Keywords: Theory of art ; Philosophy: aesthetics
    Abstract: Quelles temporalités animent les expériences esthétiques et les gestes artistiques ? L'ouvrage répond à cette question en empruntant deux voies distinctes circulairement enchaînées l'une à l'autre. La première aborde la part du sensible, de l'émotion, des tonalités affectives et du sentiment d'existence en traitant de la temporalité philosophique au sein des approches phénoménologique et pragmatiste de penseurs marquants des deux derniers siècles. La seconde voie examine la temporalité esthétique depuis la pratique des arts eux-mêmes en s'interrogeant sur la nature des images créées par la photographie, le cinéma, le théâtre et l'ensemble des arts visuels. À l'époque de l'esthétisation du monde, comment survivre à l'abondance déroutante d'images de toutes sortes ? Comment l'expérience esthétique et les gestes artistiques permettent-ils aux humains d'être plus attentifs aux diverses modalités temporelles de leur existence et, par là, aptes à mieux apprécier et habiter le monde ?

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage applique pour la première fois de façon ample et réflexive la notion de transferts culturels créée par Michel Espagne et Michael Werner en 1985 au champ de l'histoire des savoirs entre aires francophones et germanophones au xviiie siècle. Si, en effet, dans son projet, la République des lettres s'étend à l'ensemble de l'Europe et fait fi des frontières politiques, elle est traversée de tensions notamment nationales. Or, les échanges savants mettent en relation des acteurs fortement mobiles et des aires linguistiques et culturelles autant ou plus que proprement politiques, si bien que les Cantons helvétiques et les Provinces-Unies sont inclus dans l'analyse. La complexité des frontières et l'emboîtement des espaces mènent à distinguer des échelles d'analyse fluctuantes selon les objets envisagés et dans le temps, et à insérer les transferts dans des ensembles de circulations et de réseaux. Seule une telle mise en contexte, qui réinterprète la notion de transferts, permet d'analyser les biais linguistiques et les clichés, de cerner le développement de médias particuliers (correspondances, périodiques savants, encyclopédies, littérature clandestine) ou de réseaux connexes (huguenots, francs-maçons, clandestins par exemple). On souligne à terme la porosité ou les hiatus entre types de savoirs (locaux et globaux, écrits et pratiques), la malléabilité des identités savantes et la complexité de ce que l'on résume habituellement sous le nom unifiant de Lumières

    Abstract: Les dernières décennies ont vu se multiplier les situations conflictuelles liées aux interventions publiques visant à requalifier les espaces, à leur prescrire une vocation ou à encadrer leurs usages. Si les conflits autour des grands projets d'aménagement ont été assez largement analysés, les mobilisations locales ont beaucoup moins attiré l'attention des chercheurs, laissant ainsi le champ libre à des interprétations générales, souvent réductrices, voire dépréciatives. Essayer d'en restituer la richesse, et de mieux saisir leurs significations, leurs modes d'ancrage et leurs dynamiques est l'objectif de cet ouvrage. Les contributions qu'il rassemble reposent sur des enquêtes de type ethnographique, à la croisée de plusieurs champs académiques (science politique, sociologie, anthropologie, géographie), mais guidées par une préoccupation commune : considérer les mondes familiers comme des espaces de critique sociale et de revendication politique. Une hypothèse centrale parcourt l'ouvrage : ce qu'expriment les mobilisations étudiées est moins une « crise de l'intérêt général », entendue dans le sens d'un repli vers le cadre de vie, que l'inverse, c'est-à-dire la revendication de prendre part à l'action publique à partir d'une attention au proche. Elles témoignent des transformations des espaces du politique, dont elles sont une expression renouvelée plutôt que le symptôme d'une crise profonde

    Abstract: Au moyen d'une démarche de sociologie politique et critique cet ouvrage analyse les mécanismes de pouvoir dont témoignent l'émergence et le déploiement de normes technocratiques, discours experts, répertoires militants et savoirs académiques centrés sur les droits des femmes et l'égalité des sexes dans le contexte postsocialiste et au-delà. Un dispositif d'observation multi-échelles et transnational rassemble des institutions précédemment quasi ignorées par la recherche en sciences sociales : un réseau militant transatlantique, une fondation philanthropique étasunienne, plusieurs centres d'études sur le genre basés dans les anciens pays socialistes. L'enquête éclaire ainsi de manière inédite la captation des ressources féministes dans la gouvernance et donne à voir le genre comme un puissant vecteur idéologique et pratique de la pénétration des logiques libérales dans l'ancien « bloc de l'Est » pendant le processus de démocratisation. Appuyée sur des outils prosopographiques, l'analyse met en perspective les parcours de plusieurs dizaines d'intellectuelles - des entrepreneures et des médiatrices du genre en voie de professionnalisation académique, technocratique et militante - qui ont fait revivre temporairement leur capital historique « rouge » pour se construire comme des intervenantes légitimes dans les arènes féministes globalisées de l'après-Guerre froide

    Abstract: Si les inégalités éducatives sont l'objet d'une abondante littérature scientifique depuis les années 1960, la publication depuis 2000 de résultats d'enquêtes internationales telles PISA montre la permanence de cette question. Elle est au cœur des débats sur l'éducation auxquels cet ouvrage veut contribuer avec une triple originalité : la prise en compte de l'espace pour analyser ces inégalités ; une appréhension large de la notion d'éducation, quand les inégalités éducatives sont souvent abordées sous l'angle de la différenciation des cursus scolaires ; une approche pluridisciplinaire qui permet de saisir la complexité des processus à l'œuvre dans la production des inégalités. Les contributions montrent que les expériences éducatives des enfants et des adolescents dépendent de leurs conditions sociales et, plus largement, des dimensions géographique, politique, culturelle et symbolique des espaces qui constituent leur quotidien. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs, aux étudiants, aux décideurs, aux professionnels de l'éducation, aux parents, et à tout lecteur désireux de mieux comprendre les parcours éducatifs en France, avec en particulier la prise en compte de la dimension spatiale encore peu connue

    Abstract: La promulgation de la loi sur le devoir de vigilance, le 27 mars 2017, a marqué un tournant majeur dans la définition de la responsabilité des entreprises. Faisant suite au drame du Rana Plaza - l'effondrement d'une usine bangladaise en 2013 - et à l'indignation suscitée par l'impunité des entreprises donneuses d'ordre après le décès de 1 138 ouvriers textiles, cette loi française oblige désormais les grandes sociétés à prévenir les atteintes graves envers les droits humains et l'environnement dans leur chaîne d'approvisionnement. En réalité, la révolution opérée par la loi sur le devoir de vigilance n'est pas tant d'avoir établi une responsabilité des donneurs d'ordre, qui existait déjà sous d'autres formes, que d'en avoir fait une obligation légale. C'est ce que montre cet ouvrage en décrivant comment, depuis les années 1990, des mouvements militants ont d'abord poussé les entreprises à prendre des engagements volontaires pour améliorer les conditions de travail chez leurs fournisseurs, avant de remettre en question ces démarches d'autorégulation. En retraçant ainsi les origines de la loi sur le devoir de vigilance, l'ouvrage invite aussi à en interroger les promesses et à en suivre le devenir

    Abstract: Au Canada, les selfies du premier ministre Justin Trudeau sont devenus un marqueur de son identité politique et une ressource stratégique. En France, Nicolas Sarkozy, et plus récemment Emmanuel Macron, ont multiplié les couvertures de Paris Match, accédant avant même d'être élus au statut de célébrités politiques, n'hésitant pas à jouer sur les ressorts de la peopolisation pour asseoir leur visibilité et leur légitimité. Entre scandalisation et médiatisation promotionnelle, une nouvelle économie politique de la célébrité s'est imposée aux leaders politiques, désormais soumis à ces « tyrannies de l'intimité » dont parlait déjà Richard Senett à la fin des années 1970, comme au panoptisme des réseaux sociaux. En croisant les analyses et les regards transatlantiques, en confrontant les trajectoires - celles de Louise Michel et de Rachida Dati, de Marine Le Pen et de sa nièce Marion Maréchal Le Pen, d'Emmanuel Macron et de Justin Trudeau - il s'agit alors de tenter comprendre ce que la culture de la célébrité fait à la politique. Dévoiement de la politique pour les uns, appauvrissement du débat, disqualification du discours au profit des logiques émotionnelles, danger de démagogie par l'hypertrophie des affects, propension à l'exhibitionnisme des prétendants et au voyeurisme des électeurs, l'irruption de la « topique de la célébrité » peut aussi être considérée comme un outil de revitalisation de la politique à l'heure du désenchantement démocratique et de la crise de la représentation

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage remet en cause une lecture persistante dans la sociologie de l'action collective qui voit dans les organisations et leur développement une convergence des modes d'action, de fonctionnement et des valeurs. En portant l'analyse du changement au cœur de celles qui ont fait de l'environnement une cause à défendre, il démontre au contraire la remarquable continuité qui continue de caractériser leurs trajectoires respectives. La comparaison couvre cinq organisations parties prenantes des luttes les plus emblématiques du mouvement environnemental en France (de la cause anti-nucléaire à la défense de la Loire) et représentant ses différentes tendances (écologiste et de conservation) : les Amis de la Terre, France Nature Environnement, Greenpeace, la Ligue de protection des oiseaux et le WWF France. Conformément à une perspective pragmatiste, l'approche organisationnelle développée ici explique leurs différences en étudiant les compétences distinctes qu'elles construisent au travers de pressions internes (celles des membres qui les animent) et externes (celles exprimées ou perçues des publics auxquels elles s'adressent). L'originalité de cette démonstration consiste à articuler changement dans l'organisation et changement dans les politiques publiques sans a priori faire du design de l'organisation un résultat de leur environnement ou un levier d'action sur celui-ci

    Abstract: Le journalisme est un secteur qui semble touché par une crise durable, massive et double. Une crise économique qui ne cesse de réduire le nombre et la taille des rédactions. Une crise symbolique avec une défiance croissante envers une profession dont les membres et les productions sont contestés et rejetés parfois violemment. La critique de professionnels formatés et d'un monde où la diversité sociale n'a pas sa place vient la renforcer. Pourtant les formations au métier de journalistes se multiplient et les vocations sont nombreuses. Porter une attention particulière aux propriétés et trajectoires sociales des étudiants en école de journalisme, comme le fait cet ouvrage qui s'appuie sur une enquête statistique et des entretiens, permet de sortir de ces paradoxes et de mettre en lumière les conditions sociales de l'entrée et du maintien dans la profession de journaliste. Si la raréfaction des postes combinée à la course au diplôme tend à accroître la sélection à l'entrée, c'est à un espace hiérarchisé de formations que sont confrontés les prétendants au métier dont les exigences sont aussi celles de la reproduction sociale du groupe familial. Les ressources décisives pour l'entrée dans ces écoles (économiques, culturelles mais aussi sociales), le sont aussi pour les carrières professionnelles qui confirment la hiérarchie de ces établissements. Ces différences se retrouvent dans les trajectoires singulières vécues par les étudiants montrant la nécessité sociale derrière la singularité des carrières individuelles. Ces évolutions traduisent l'institutionnalisation croissante de cet univers a priori incertain qu'est le champ journalistique

    Abstract: Qu'est-ce qu'une « mise en abyme » et en quoi consiste sa puissance de jeu et de réflexion ? Dans une image, un tableau ou un texte, sait-on toujours déterminer où commence et où s'achève cet enchâssement étonnant, voire vertigineux, de représentations à l'intérieur d'autres représentations ? Quelle est la place, la fonction et la portée de la mise en abyme au sein de la grande famille des phénomènes réflexifs ? Jusqu'où doit-on différencier les approches de la mise en abyme dans tel ou tel art ou dans tel ou tel média : dans la littérature ou dans le cinéma, dans la bande dessinée ou au sein du jeu vidéo ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l'ouvrage collectif - inédit dans sa vocation ouvertement interdisciplinaire - croise non seulement les objets d'étude mais aussi les méthodes d'analyse. À travers la diversité des points de vue, se révèle alors l'idée rectrice selon laquelle la mise en abyme semble guetter toute représentation et devient par là même un principe incontournable de notre expérience et de notre intelligence de nous-mêmes comme du monde

    Abstract: Le journaliste sportif serait un « beauf » populiste, proche de la figure du supporter. À rebours de ce cliché, et des analyses qui réduisent la spécialité à un journalisme de connivence sous l'emprise des intérêts marchands, ce livre restitue la pluralité des pratiques et la complexité des logiques qui les sous-tendent. Des rédactions de médias nationaux aux terrains sportifs, en passant par les écoles de journalisme et les associations professionnelles, l'enquête lève le voile sur ce métier un peu singulier, caractéristique de la double évolution du journalisme contemporain. D'un côté, la concurrence médiatique et le renouvellement du personnel ont pour effet une diversification des modèles d'excellence avec notamment le déploiement de registres critiques et caustiques. Cette tendance est d'autant plus forte que les institutions (sportives) médiatisées renforcent leur contrôle sur l'information engendrant, en réponse, des stratégies de contournement de la part des reporters. De l'autre, cette autonomisation est très fortement limitée par les contraintes pesant sur le travail quotidien des producteurs de l'information de grande diffusion (pression managériale, alignement sur les attentes supposées du public, course au scoop, écriture dans l'urgence, dépendance aux sources officielles...). Produit d'un ensemble de facteurs mis en évidence dans cet ouvrage, l'offre médiatique dominante nourrit un spectacle dit « populaire », participant, ainsi, à la reproduction du sport professionnel et de son ordre socio-économique inégalitaire

    Abstract: Dans les travaux français de la sociologie de la jeunesse, la question du genre comme processus d'assignation sexuée des pratiques et des représentations, renouvelant la lecture des rapports sociaux de domination, n'est apparue que récemment. Poursuivant l'interrogation initiale des premières Rencontres Jeunes & Sociétés sur « les cadres et les modalités de la socialisation sexuée », cet ouvrage analyse les marginalités et les déviances juvéniles à l'égard des normes de genre. Les contributions étudient les modalités de production de pratiques et de représentations dont les contours, rapportés à l'ordre du genre et à ses critères de classements, ses catégorisations et ses comptages, tracent des groupes minoritaires, parfois placés sous un contrôle institutionnel qui marque l'évaluation d'une possible dangerosité sociale. Il s'agit donc moins de comprendre la reproduction des clivages sexués, que d'analyser la recomposition des marges du genre en même temps que le processus de normalisation qui fait des déviances d'hier, les normes d'aujourd'hui

    Abstract: Le Bon Marché, les Galeries Lafayette, le Printemps, le Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville : ces enseignes aux noms évocateurs désignent des grands magasins. Temples de la consommation et symboles d'une société qu'ils ont contribué à produire, ils attirent depuis la fin du xixe siècle des clients à la recherche d'affaires, parfois, et de distinction, souvent. Mais les grands magasins sont aussi des lieux de travail. Or, de ses travailleuses et travailleurs, on connaît peu le quotidien, sauf à se contenter des observations faites il y a plus de cent trente ans par Émile Zola dans Au Bonheur des Dames. À partir d'une longue enquête de terrain par entretiens et observation participante, cet ouvrage invite le lecteur dans les rayons d'un grand magasin prestigieux, que l'on appellera le Bazar de l'Opéra, afin d'y découvrir le travail de la vente (ses techniques, ses contraintes, mais aussi ses réjouissances) et les trajectoires de celles et ceux qui l'effectuent. Son objectif est de contribuer à la compréhension d'un travail, celui de la vente, et d'un ensemble de la société française, celui des employés de commerce

    Abstract: La défaite électorale est un phénomène structurant de la vie politique démocratique. Rares sont les hommes politiques à ne jamais y avoir été confrontés, soit directement en tant que candidats, soit indirectement en tant que militants, collaborateurs ou membres d'un comité de campagne. Cet ouvrage propose une plongée du côté de ces battus des élections, qui, éclipsés par les glorieux vainqueurs, n'ont jusqu'à présent suscité qu'un intérêt de recherche réduit. En réunissant des contributions empiriquement fondées sur des expériences variées de défaites électorales, dans différents contextes historiques, géographiques et politiques, il se donne pour objectif de mieux saisir les enjeux symboliques et matériels de la défaite aux niveaux individuel et collectif. Trois angles d'analyse complémentaires sont plus particulièrement explorés par les auteurs : le premier centré sur la production du verdict de défaite, le deuxième sur les potentielles bifurcations biographiques des battus et enfin le troisième sur les appropriations partisanes de la défaite. Les études de la défaite « au concret » ici réunies ouvrent ainsi des pistes de recherche originales pour interroger de manière novatrice les processus de (dé)construction des carrières politiques, d'engagement et de désengagement politique, de transformation des milieux partisans ou encore de définition des règles de la compétition électorale

    Abstract: L'Union européenne est en crise. Pourtant l'attractivité des métiers de l'Europe politique ne se dément pas : de nombreux jeunes souhaitent s'orienter vers des carrières en lien avec les institutions européennes. Partant de ce paradoxe, cet ouvrage présente une enquête sur la genèse de la vocation européenne d'un ensemble de candidats aux métiers de l'Europe politique en France. Il analyse les dispositions favorables à cette vocation et la différenciation des profils vocationnels au principe d'une diversité à la fois des sens donnés à l'orientation vers l'UE, des socialisations européennes, ainsi que des trajectoires professionnelles. La part circonscrite de ceux qui souhaitent vivre de l'Europe et pour l'Europe, illustre la perte d'importance de la vocation au sein du champ de l'Eurocratie, et tout particulièrement de ses zones périphériques. Cette enquête apporte une contribution à la compréhension des processus plus généraux d'intégration européenne, d'européanisation, et dans une certaine mesure des aspects sociologiques de la crise traversée par l'Europe

    Abstract: Comment rendre compte de la pluralité des expériences du vieillir, de leur transformation et des manières dont nos sociétés en régulent les tensions, sinon en les replaçant dans leurs contextes et leurs dynamiques sociales ? Dans le prolongement des analyses de Simone Pennec à l'université de Bretagne Occidentale (Brest) et à partir d'objets et de terrains d'études variés en France principalement, et aussi en Belgique, au Brésil, au Canada, en Suisse, au Mexique, cet ouvrage analyse les manières dont les individus articulent leurs différents engagements au cours de la vie. Il montre comment certaines manières d'avancer en âge peuvent être soutenues ou au contraire déqualifiées. Les quatre parties de l'ouvrage rendent compte des effets des catégorisations des politiques publiques, de la participation des personnes vieillissantes aux différents espaces sociaux, du statut et des expériences des personnes et de leur entourage face aux transformations liées au vieillissement et du travail de soin, de la diversité de ses contextes, de ses registres et de ses acteurs. Cet ouvrage est destiné à des enseignants, des étudiants et des chercheurs en sciences sociales, à des praticiens de l'intervention sociale et des professionnels de santé, comme à l'ensemble des acteurs professionnels, politiques, militants ou citoyens concernés. Il a été coordonné par cinq enseignant·e·s-chercheur·e·s en sociologie : Françoise Le Borgne-Uguen (UBO-Brest), Florence Douguet (UBS-Lorient), Guillaume Fernandez (UBO-Brest), Nicole Roux (UBO-Brest) et Geneviève Cresson (Université Lille 1)

    Abstract: Heritage processes vary according to cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This volume is unique in that it is dedicated to approaching the analysis of heritage through the concepts of social movements. Adapting the latest developments in the field of social movements, the chapters examine the formation, use and contestation of heritage by various official, non-official and activist players and the spaces where such ongoing negotiations and contestation take place. By bringing social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates a shift of perspective in understanding heritage, one that is no longer bound by (at times arbitrary) divisions such as those assumed between the state and people or between experts and non-experts

    Abstract: Multilevel marketing and pyramid schemes promote the idea that participants can easily become rich. These popular economies turn ordinary people into advocates of their interests and missionaries of the American Dream. Marketing Hope looks at how different types of get-rich-quick schemes manifest themselves in a Siberian town. By focusing on their social dynamics, Leonie Schiffauer provides insights into how capitalist logic is learned and negotiated, and how it affects local realities in a post-Soviet environment.

    Abstract: With the development of new direct interfaces between the human brain and computer systems, the time has come for an in-depth ethical examination of the way these neuronal interfaces may support an interaction between the mind and cyberspace. In so doing, this book does not hesitate to blend disciplines including neurobiology, philosophy, anthropology and politics. It also invites society, as a whole, to seek a path in the use of these interfaces enabling humanity to prosper while avoiding the relevant risks. As such, the volume is the first extensive study in cyberneuroethics, a subject matter which is certain to have a significant impact in the 21st century and beyond.

    Abstract: How does design and innovation shape people’s lives in the Pacific? Focusing on plant materials from the region, How Materials Matter reveals ways in which a variety of people – from craftswomen and scientists to architects and politicians – work with materials to transform worlds. Recognizing the fragile and ephemeral nature of plant fibres, this work delves into how the biophysical properties of certain leaves and their aesthetic appearance are utilized to communicate information and manage different forms of relations. It breaks new ground by situating plant materials at the centre of innovation in a region.

    Keywords: Indigenous Peoples; European State Powers; Hybridization and Power Relations; Colonial History; Archaeological Data
    Abstract: Colonial encounters between indigenous peoples and European state powers are overarching themes in the historical archaeology of the modern era, and postcolonial historical archaeology has repeatedly emphasized the complex two-way nature of colonial encounters. This volume examines common trajectories in indigenous colonial histories, and explores new ways to understand cultural contact, hybridization and power relations between indigenous peoples and colonial powers from the indigenous point of view. By bringing together a wide geographical range and combining multiple sources such as oral histories, historical records, and contemporary discourses with archaeological data, the volume finds new multivocal interpretations of colonial histories.

By doing so, this collection develops a stronger grasp of the specific political, economic and social transformations taking place today in Africa. At the same time, while focusing on case studies from the African continent, the work enters into a dialogue with the emerging corpus of studies in the field of ethics, adding to it a set of analytical perspectives that can help further enlarge its theoretical and geographical scope.

    Abstract: Military-civilian encounters are multiple and diverse in our times. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how military and civilian domains are constituted through entanglements undermining the classic civil-military binary and manifest themselves in unexpected places and manners. Moreover, the essays trace out the ripples, reverberations and resonations of civil-military entanglements in areas not usually associated with such ties, but which are nevertheless real and significant for an understanding of the roles war, violence and the military play in shaping contemporary societies and the everyday life of its citizens.

    Abstract: Anthropologists have expressed wariness about the concept of evil even in discussions of morality and ethics, in part because the concept carries its own cultural baggage and theological implications in Euro-American societies. Addressing the problem of evil as a distinctly human phenomenon and a category of ethnographic analysis, this volume shows the usefulness of engaging evil as a descriptor of empirical reality where concepts such as violence, criminality, and hatred fall short of capturing the darkest side of human existence.

    Abstract: In Sometime Kin, Sandra Wallman paints the portrait of an Alpine settlement – its history, economy and culture, and its unusual resistance to outsiders and modernization. Against this, her journal shows the villagers embracing her four small children and acting as participant observers in the two-way process of research. This project happened more than forty years ago and involved a uniquely large fieldwork family, but its insights have wider significance. The book argues that the intrusion of observation inevitably distorts the ordinary life observed, that the challenges of multi-vocality and “truth” are always with us, and that memory is the bedrock of every ethnographic enterprise.

    Keywords: Southern African Development;Legacy of Colonialism;Development Models;South Africa;Zimbabwe;Economic development;Rethinking and Unthinking;Coloniality;Inequality;Poverty
    Abstract: Development has remained elusive in Africa. Through theoretical contributions and case studies focusing on Southern Africa’s former white settler states, South Africa and Zimbabwe, this volume responds to the current need to rethink (and unthink) development in the region. The authors explore how Africa can adapt Western development models suited to its political, economic, social and cultural circumstances, while rejecting development practices and discourses based on exploitative capitalist and colonial tendencies. Beyond the legacies of colonialism, the volume also explores other factors impacting development, including regional politics, corruption, poor policies on empowerment and indigenization, and socio-economic and cultural barriers.

    Keywords: Europe; Bulgaria; Roma; Structural and Social Inequalities; Identity
    Abstract: At present, Roma are an integral part of Europe, though they face structural and social inequalities and different forms of exclusion and discrimination. Inward Looking seeks to understand the relationship between Romani identity, performance and migration. Particularly, it studies the idea of ‘Romanipe’ through the prism of the personal accounts of Romani migrants. It also seeks to understand the relationships between the Romani groups in Europe, due to their increased travel and convergence, and predict the effects of migration on (new) Romani consciousness. The findings are based on qualitative data gathered from Romani migrants from three towns in Bulgaria.

    Abstract: Focussing ethnographically on private-sector maternity care in South Africa, Privileges of Birth looks at the ways healthcare and childbirth are shaped by South Africa’s racialised history. Birth is one of the most medicalised aspects of the lifecycle across all sectors of society, and there is deep division between what the privileged can afford compared with the rest of the population. Examining the ethics of care in midwife-attended birth, the author situates the argument in the context of a growing literature on care in anthropological and feminist scholarship, offering a unique account of birthing care in the context of elite care services.

    Keywords: Identity Politics, Political Reform, Guinea, Guinea Conakry, West Africa
    Abstract: In Guinea, situated against the background of central government struggles, rural elites use identity politics through contemporary political reforms to maintain their privileges and perpetuate a generations-old local social contract that bridges ethnic and religious divides. Simultaneously, administrative reform and national unrest lead to the creative re-combination of sources of authority and practices of legitimate rule. Past periods of colonization, socialism and authoritarian regime are reflected in contemporary struggles to make sense of participatory democracy and the future of the embattled Guinean national state.

    Keywords: Patrongage-clientelism, Patronage, Corruption, Southern Italy, Basilicata
    Abstract: The issue of patronage-clientelism has long been of interest in the social sciences. Based on long-term ethnographic research in southern Italy, this book examines the concept and practice of raccomandazione: the omnipresent social institution of using connections to get things done. Viewing the practice both from an indigenous perspective – as a morally ambivalent social fact – and considering it in light of the power relations that position southern Italy within the nesting relations of global Norths and Souths, it builds on and extends past scholarship to consider the nature of patronage in a contemporary society and its relationship to corruption.

    Abstract: How are historians and social scientists to understand the emergence, the multiplicity, and the mutability of collective memories of the Ottoman Empire in the political formations that succeeded it? With contributions focussing on several of the nation-states whose peoples once were united under the aegis of Ottoman suzerainty, this volume proposes new theoretical approaches to the experience and transmission of the past through time. Developing the concept of topology, contributors explore collective memories of Ottoman identity and post-Ottoman state formation in a contemporary epoch that, echoing late modernity, we might term “late nationalism”.

    Abstract: A consistent problem that confronts disaster reduction is the disjunction between academic and expert knowledge and policies and practices of agencies mandated to deal with the concern. Although a great deal of knowledge has been acquired regarding many aspects of disasters, such as driving factors, risk construction, complexity of resettlement, and importance of peoples’ culture, very little has become protocol and procedure. Disaster Upon Disaster illuminates the numerous disjunctions between the suppositions, realities, agendas, and executions in the field, goes on to detail contingencies, predicaments, old and new plights, and finally advances solutions toward greatly improved outcomes.

    Abstract: Volta Redonda is a Brazilian steel town founded in the 1940s by dictator Getúlio Vargas on an ex-coffee valley as a powerful symbol of Brazilian modernization. The city’s economy, and consequently its citizen’s lives, revolves around the Companha Siderurgica Nacional (CSN), the biggest industrial complex in Latin America. Although the glory days of the CSN have long passed, the company still controls life in Volta Redonda today, creating as much dispossession as wealth for the community. Brazilian Steel Town tells the story of the people tied to this ailing giant – of their fears, hopes, and everyday struggles.

    Abstract: Does populism indicate a radical crisis in Western democratic political systems? Is it a revolt by those who feel they have too little voice in the affairs of state or are otherwise marginalized or oppressed? Or are populist movements part of the democratic process? Bringing together different anthropological experiences of current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution to these questions. Contrary to more conventional interpretations of populism as crisis, the authors instead recognize populism as integral to Western democratic systems. In doing so, the volume provides an important critique that exposes the exclusionary essentialisms spread by populist rhetoric while also directing attention to local views of political accountability and historical consciousness that are key to understanding this paradox of democracy.

    Abstract: The Museum of Mankind was an innovative and popular showcase for minority cultures from around the non-Western world from 1970 to 1997. This memoir is a critical appreciation of its achievements in the various roles of a national museum, of the personalities of its staff and of the issues raised in the representation of exotic cultures. Issues of changing museum theory and practice are raised in a detailed case-study that also focuses on the social life of the museum community. This is the first history of a remarkable museum and a memorable interlude in the long history of one of the world’s oldest and greatest museums. Although not presented as an academic study, it should be useful for museum and cultural studies as a well as a wider readership interested in the British Museum

    Abstract: Having long been stigmatized as an immoral and even illegal “superstition”, the popular practice of divination is experiencing a revival in contemporary China. Fate Calculation Experts explores how diviners attempt to achieve legitimation in a society which identifies strongly with modernity, science, and rationality. As well as associating with modern knowledge production systems, diviners build a positive social image for their occupation via claims to moral authority and appeals to “tradition”. Beyond matters of image management, diviners’ efforts towards legitimation also figure in the social relationships and fundamental cultural values they develop in their practice

    Abstract: Co-authored by three anthropologists with long–term expertise studying Pentecostalism in Vanuatu, Angola, and Papua New Guinea/the Trobriand Islands respectively, Going to Pentecost offers a comparative study of Pentecostalism in Africa and Melanesia, focusing on key issues as economy, urban sociality, and healing. More than an ordinary comparative book, it recognizes the changing nature of religion in the contemporary world – in particular the emergence of “non-territorial” religion (which is no longer specific to places or cultures) – and represents an experimental approach to the study of global religious movements in general and Pentecostalism in particular

Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book shows that, notwithstanding the massive rollout of ART, providing treatment and living a life with HIV in settings like Tanga continue to entail social, economic, and moral challenges and long-term uncertainties, which contradict the global rhetoric of the “normalization of HIV”

    Abstract: Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks: How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the past in the present?

This is the first archival and ethnographic study of Haredi Jews in the UK and sits at the intersection of medical anthropology, social history and Jewish studies. It will allow readers to understand how reproductive care issues affect this growing minority population

    Abstract: The most clearly identifiable and popular form of Japanese hip-hop, “ghetto” or “gangsta” music has much in common with its corre ponding American subgenres, including its portrayal of life on the margins, confrontational style, and aspirational “rags-to-riches” narrati es. Contrary to depictions of an ethnically and economically homogeneous Japan, gangsta J-hop gives voice to the suffering, deprivation, and social exclusion experienced by many modern Japanese. 24 Bars to Kill offers a fascinating ethnographic account of this music as well as the subculture around it, showing how gangsta hip-hop arises from widespread dissatisfaction and malaise

    Abstract: About 150 years ago L. H. Morgan compared relationship terminologies, societal forms, and ideas of property to recognize the interdependence of the three domains. From a new perspective, the book will re-examine, confirm and criticize, Morgan’s findings to conclude that reciprocal affinal relations determine most ‘classificatory’ terminologies and regulate many non-state societies, their property notions, and their rituals. Apart from references to American and Australian features, such holistic socio-cultural constructs will be exemplified by elaborate descriptions of little-known contemporary indigenous societies in highland Middle India, altogether comprising many millions of members

    Abstract: 50 years ago, World Bank President Robert McNamara promised to end poverty. Alleviation was to rely on economic growth, resulting in higher incomes stimulated by Bank loans processed by deskbound Washington staff, trickling down to the poorest. Instead, child poverty and homelessness are on the increase everywhere. In this book, anthropologist and former World Bank Advisor Glynn Cochrane argues that instead of Washington’s “management by seclusion,” poverty alleviation requires personal engagement with the poorest by helpers with hands-on local and cultural skills. Here, the author argues, the insights provided by anthropological fieldwork have a crucial role to play

    Abstract: For more than half a century, discourses on the Nazi past have powerfully shaped German social and cultural policy. Specifically, an institutional determination not to forget has expressed a “duty of remembrance” through commemorative activities and educational curricula. But as the horrors of the Third Reich retreat ever further from living memory, what do new generations of Germans actually think about this past? Combining observation, interviews, and archival research, this book provides a rich survey of the perspectives and experiences of German adolescents from diverse backgrounds, revealing the extent to which social, economic, and cultural factors have conditioned how they view representations of Germany’s complex history

    Abstract: In the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of porters carried ivory every year from the African interior to Bagamoyo, a port town at the Indian Ocean. In the opposite direction, they carried millions of meters of cloth, manufactured in the USA, Europe, and India. This book examines the centrality of the caravan trade, both culturally and economically, to Bagamoyo’s development and cosmopolitan character, while also exploring how this history was silenced when Bagamoyo was instead branded as a slave route town in 2006 in an attempt to qualify it for the UNESCO World Heritage List

    Abstract: Combining theoretical and empirical discussions with shorter “thick description” case studies, this book offers an anthropological exploration of the emergence in Malaysia of lifestyle bloggers – precursors to current social media “microcelebrities” and “influencers.” It tracks the transformation of personal blogs, which attracted readers with spontaneous and authentic accounts of everyday life, into lifestyle blogs that generate income through advertising and foreground consumerist lifestyles. It argues that lifestyle blogs are dialogically constituted between the blogger, the readers, and the blog itself, and challenges the assumption of a unitary self by proposing that lifestyle blogs can best be understood in terms of the “dividual self.”

    Abstract: Recent world-wide political developments have persuaded many people that we are again living in what Hannah Arendt called “dark times.” Jackson’s response to this age of uncertainty is to remind us how much experience falls outside the concepts and categories we habitually deploy in rendering life manageable and intelligible. Drawing on such critical thinkers as Hannah Arendt, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, and Karl Jaspers, whose work was profoundly influenced by the catastrophes that overwhelmed the world in the middle of the last century, Jackson explores the transformative and redemptive power of marginalized voices in the contemporary conversation of humankind

    Abstract: The increased presence of Somalis has brought much change to East African towns and cities in recent decades, change that has met with ambivalence and suspicion, especially within Kenya. This volume demystifies Somali residence and mobility in urban East Africa, showing its historical depth, and exploring the social, cultural and political underpinnings of Somali-led urban transformation. In so doing, it offers a vivid case study of the transformative power of (forced) migration on urban centres, and the intertwining of urbanity and mobility. The volume will be of interest for readers working in the broader field of migration, as well as anthropology and urban studies

    Abstract: Going beyond the frameworks of the anthropology of death, Articulate Necrographies offers a dramatic new way of studying the dead and its interactions with the living. Traditional anthropology has tended to dichotomize societies where death “speaks” from those where death is “silent” – the latter is deemed “scientific” and the former “religious” or “magical”. The collection introduces the concept of “necrography” to describe the way death and the dead create their own kinds of biographies in and among the living, and asks what kinds of articulacies and silences this in turn produces in the lives of those affected

    Abstract: Growing up with social and economic upheaval in the peripheries of global neoliberalism, children in rural Zambia are presented with diverging social and moral protocols across homes, classrooms, church halls, and the streets. Mostly unmonitored by adults, they explore the ambiguities of adult life in playful interactions with their siblings and kin across gender and age. Drawing on rich linguistic-ethnographic details of such interactions combined with observations of school and household procedures, the author provides a rare insight into the lives, voices, and learning paths of children in a rural African setting.

    Abstract: French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu’s relevance for studies of spatiality and mobility has received less attention than other aspects of his work. Here, Deborah Reed-Danahay argues that the concept of social space, central to Bourdieu’s ideas, addresses the structured inequalities that prevail in spatial choices and practices. She provides an ethnographically informed interpretation of social space that demonstrates its potential for new directions in studies of mobility, immobility, and emplacement.  This book traces the links between habitus and social space across the span of Bourdieu’s writings, and places his work in dialogue with historical and contemporary approaches to mobility.

    Abstract: Chinese citizens make themselves at home despite economic transformation, political rupture, and domestic dislocation in the contemporary countryside. By mobilizing labor and kinship to make claims over homes, people, and things, rural residents withstand devaluation and confront dispossession. As a particular configuration of red capitalism and socialist sovereignty takes root, this process challenges the relationship between the politics of place and the location of class in China and beyond.

    Abstract: Water, Life, and Profit offers a holistic analysis of the people, economies, cultural symbolism, and material culture involved in the management, production, distribution, and consumption of drinking water in the urban context of Niamey, Niger. Paying particular attention to two key groups of people who provide water to most of Niamey’s residents - door-to-door water vendors, and those who sell water in one-half-liter plastic bags (sachets) on the street or in small shops – the authors offer new insights into how Niamey’s water economies affect gender, ethnicity, class, and spatial structure today.

    Abstract: Despite France and Belgium sharing and interacting constantly with similar culinary tastes, music and pop culture, access to Assisted Reproductive Technologies are strikingly different. Discrimination written into French law acutely contrasts with non-discriminatory access to ART in Belgium. The contributors of this volume are social scientists from France, Belgium, England and the United States, representing different disciplines: law, political science, philosophy, sociology and anthropology. Each author has attempted, through the prism of their specialties, to demonstrate and analyse how and why this striking difference in access to ART exists.

    Abstract: In the early twenty-first century, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia’s pro-independence movement, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia, using an essential, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.

    Keywords: Mobilities; Immobilities; Social Positionality; Political Economyl Moral Economy; African Societies; Social Inequality
    Abstract: Grounded in both theory and ethnography, this volume insists on taking social positionality seriously when accounting for Africa’s current age of polarizing wealth. To this end, the book advocates a multidimensional view of African societies, in which social positions consist of a variety of intersecting social powers - or ‘capitals’ – including wealth, education, social relationships, religion, ethnicity, and others. Accordingly, the notion of social im/mobilities emphasizes the complexities of current changes, taking us beyond the prism of a one-dimensional social ladder, for social moves cannot always be apprehended through the binaries of ‘gains’ and ‘losses’.

    Keywords: Discursive Spaces; Spaces of Dispersion; Geopragmatics of Anthropological Identification; Anthropology; Ethical Relativism
    Abstract: On the Geopragmatics of Anthropological Identification explores the discursive spaces of our speaking position, or what has routinely been referred to in the literature as the poetics and politics of writing culture. At issue here are its problematic underlying notions of cultural identity, authorial subjectivity and postcolonial critique. Contrary to the widespread assumption that cultural studies and the social sciences share a common discourse of culture and society, Allen Chun argues that 'modern' disciplinary practices and axioms have in fact produced inherently incompatible theories. Anthropology's ethical relativism has also created obstacles for a critical theory of culture and society.

    Abstract: Becoming Vaishnava in an Ideal Vedic City centers on a growing multinational community of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal. While ISKCON’s history is often presented in terms of an Indian guru ‘transplanting’ Indian spirituality to the West, this book focusses on the efforts to bring ISKCON back to India. Paying particular attention to devotees’ failure to consistently live up to ISKCON’s ideals and the ongoing struggle to realize the utopian vision of an ‘ideal Vedic city’, this book argues that the anthropology of ethics must account for how moral systems accommodate the problem of moral failure.

    Keywords: Fredrik Barth; Human Agency; Social Anthropology; Humanistic Anthropology
    Abstract: Written by eleven leading anthropologists from around the world, this volume extends the insights of Fredrik Barth, one of the most important anthropologists of the twentieth century, to push even further at the frontiers of anthropology and honor his memory. As a collection, the chapters thus expand Barth’s pioneering work on values, further develop his insights on human agency and its potential creativity, as well as continuing to develop the relevance for his work as a way of thinking about and beyond the state. The work is grounded on his insistence that theory should grow only from observed life.

    Series Statement: Politics of Repair 1
    Keywords: Connection Between Tinkering and Innovation; Ethnography of Repair and Brokkenness; Politics of Failure; Indigenous Ways of Solving Problems; Responses to Failure and Wrongdoings
    Abstract: Exploring some of the ways in which repair practices and perceptions of brokenness vary culturally, Repair, Brokenness, Breakthrough argues that repair is both a process and also a consequence which is sought out—an attempt to extend the life of things as well as an answer to failures, gaps, wrongdoings, and leftovers. This volume develops an open-ended combination of empirical and theoretical questions including: What does it mean to claim that something is broken? At what point is something broken repairable? What are the social relationships that take place around repair? And how much tolerance for failure do our societies have?

    Keywords: Black Atlantic; Atlantic Studies; Transatlantic Anthropology; Transatlantic History; Religion; Mobility; Belonging; Cultural Heritage; Placemaking
    Abstract: Focusing on mobility, religion, and belonging, the volume contributes to transatlantic anthropology and history by bringing together religion, cultural heritage and placemaking in the Atlantic world. The entanglements of these domains are ethnographically scrutinized to perceive the connections and disconnections of specific places which, despite a common history, are today very different in terms of secular regimes and the presence of religion in the public sphere. Ideally suited to a variety of scholars and students in different fields, Atlantic Perspectives will lead to new debates and conversations throughout the fields of anthropology, religion and history.

    Abstract: Written for study abroad practitioners, this book introduces theoretical understandings of key study abroad terms including ́the global/national,́ ́culture,́ ́native speaker,́ ́immersion,́ and ́host society.́ Building theories on these notions with perspectives from cultural anthropology, political science, educational studies, linguistics, and narrative studies, it suggests ways to incorporate them in study abroad practices. Through attention to daily activities via the concept of immersion, it reframes study abroad not as an encounter with cultural others but as an occasion to analyze constructions of ́differenceś in daily life, backgrounded by structural arrangements.

    Keywords: Theatre studies
    Abstract: Ce livre part d'un constat : malgré une abondante production, étalée sur près de cinquante ans, le théâtre de Dumas subit aujourd'hui une indéniable éclipse. Or, son auteur a joué un rôle de premier plan dans la « bataille » romantique ; il a continué sans interruption d'écrire pour la scène jusqu'à sa mort ; refusant l'exclusive, il a pratiqué tous les genres. Il laisse un corpus officiel de soixante-six pièces, en réalité plus de cent si l'on comptabilise les textes non signés mais où sa collaboration est attestée. Cette œuvre s'inscrit dans un héritage, revendiqué ou implicite, de l'Antiquité à la production contemporaine : tragédie classique et néo-classique, comédie d'intrigue et de caractère, scène historique, drame bourgeois, vaudeville, mélodrame, proverbe... Elle en fait un usage complexe, entre emprunts, variations et détournements, en jouant de la contamination entre modèles « nobles » et modèles « mineurs ». Parcouru par un double processus d'assimilation et de transformation, le théâtre de Dumas fonctionne comme un creuset dramatique ; il fait évoluer les genres, modernise les enjeux et renouvelle le spectaculaire, marquant ainsi un repère capital pour les générations suivantes. Travail collectif d'une équipe de chercheurs engagés dans la publication du Théâtre complet de Dumas, ce volume veut rendre hommage à la richesse et à la diversité d'une œuvre qui résume un demi-siècle de vie dramatique

    Abstract: Dans les arts et la littérature, certaines présences se donnent, avec toute la force de leur évidence, comme déplacées. Les textes réunis dans ce volume s’intéressent à ces formes de présences insolites qui entrent dans un cadre où elles ne sont pas attendues. L’effraction et l’intrusion sont les procédés pour obtenir ces modalités singulières de présence. Dans le fracas ou la délicatesse, l’irrespect des règles et des cadres, le lecteur reconnaîtra l’effraction chargée de violence et évaluera les effets de présence que cette manière de faire permet de révéler. D’une façon moins ostensible, le lecteur pourra également, à son tour, jouer à l’intrus et apprécier de quelles intentions insidieuses ce dernier est animé pour créer des présences illégitimes et parfois incongrues. Car le geste artistique, qu’il émane d’une effraction ou d’une intrusion, est toujours singulier et audacieux. Geste pour le moins iconoclaste, il atteste d’une présence qui, en brisant un ordre institué, dévoile et rappelle l’artificialité de ce dernier

    Abstract: En mariant le nom de Mucha au papier à cigarette Job, celui de Cassandre au « Dubo/Dubon/Dubonnet » ou de Savignac à la vache Monsavon, l’affiche a imprimé dans l’imaginaire collectif la mémoire de la publicité artistique. Mais qui se souvient que Victor Hugo associa sa signature à l’Encre Triple noire (pourtant réputée indélébile), que Raoul Ponchon, dans Le Courrier français, abonna sa plume aux Pastilles Géraudel, que Cocteau posa dans Paris-Match pour les téléviseurs Ribet-Desjardins ? De grands noms des belles-lettres comme Valéry, Cendrars, Giono ou Queneau, ont signé des textes publicitaires – de très beaux textes. Un tenace destin d’oubli, symptomatique du scandale que constitue le mélange de la littérature pure, gratuite, avec la « littérature » intéressée et appliquée, pèse sur les innombrables contributions des écrivains à la publicité depuis le xixe siècle. Ce volume s’emploie à redessiner l’un des visages les plus méconnus de l’écrivain et à éclairer une zone d’ombre de la « condition littéraire ». On y découvrira une galerie de portraits insolites, un album de famille inédit, où se trouvent réunis des auteurs apparemment aussi peu apparentés que Zola et les Gautier, Sacha Guitry et Léon-Paul Fargue, Paul Reboux et Robert Desnos. On y trouvera des informations sur les motivations diverses qui ont suscité et suscitent encore aujourd’hui de telles collaborations avec les marques, la manière dont a été vécu et « géré » le grand écart entre les exigences de l’œuvre et celles de la promotion marchande, le rôle joué par la publicité dans l’économie de la carrière littéraire

    Abstract: Depuis deux cents ans, la littérature, la philosophie et le cinéma s’intéressent toujours davantage à l’apocalypse et aux catastrophes. Est-ce céder à un certain nihilisme ou au contraire chercher une ouverture politique quand l’horizon semble fermé ? Explorant la force et les limites de cet imaginaire politique ambivalent, les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume tentent d’expliquer pourquoi le scénario apocalyptique fait retour dans une civilisation qui n’est plus soudée ni par la croyance religieuse ni par l’espoir révolutionnaire. Qu’est-ce qui distingue l’apocalyptisme contemporain de l’apocalyptisme biblique et de ses avatars ? Comment distinguer un apocalyptisme laïc, qui affronte avec lucidité la perspective d’une destruction par l’homme des conditions nécessaires à la poursuite de son existence et les lubies des marchands d’apocalypse, qui mobilisent et galvaudent à leur profit le scénario religieux ? Enfin, comment restaurer une perspective politique dans ce climat de destruction générale ? En réunissant des contributions d’historiens, de philosophes, de spécialistes de littérature, d’études théâtrales et de cinéma, ce volume de La Licorne entreprend d’approcher de façon critique un art de désespérer avec espoir caractéristique de l’époque contemporaine

    Abstract: Ce livre est une réflexion sur l'intégration et l'identité nationale, en France et plus généralement en Europe. Traduction d'un ouvrage paru d'abord en anglais en 1993, il analyse la manière dont se constituaient les nations et se forgeaient les identités, à la fois sous et contre l'influence de forces émanant des capitales des États et de leurs élites politiques. Devenu classique, ce livre a eu un impact intellectuel considérable depuis un quart de siècle dans les mondes anglo-saxon et français. La théorie de la modernisation, illustrée notamment par l'ouvrage d'Eugen Weber, La Fin des terroirs (1870-1914), ne prenait pas suffisamment en compte la façon dont ces identités étaient façonnées par des conditions locales et des allégeances régionales, dont celles de la langue. Caroline Ford a réussi à remettre en question cette perspective et a montré comment les hommes et les femmes dans un département de Basse Bretagne (le Finistère) s'étaient opposés à un État qui, à la fin du xixe siècle, s'efforçait d'intégrer ces régions dites périphériques à une culture politique commune. Elle analyse les stéréotypes fortement péjoratifs qu'utilisaient les représentants de l'État et les observateurs, afin de contester ce que l'on a qualifié de « l'énorme condescendance de la postérité », en attribuant indépendance, rationalité et humanité aux Bretons des campagnes et des villes, vivant très loin de la capitale

    Abstract: Pourquoi s'intéresser à la question du don au regard de ces objets particuliers que sont les archives et les bibliothèques ? La théorie maussienne du don leur est-elle mécaniquement applicable ? Inversement, en quoi l'environnement - bibliothèques ou services d'archives - qui reçoit le contenu matériel et symbolique de ce qui est échangé peut-il apporter des éléments nouveaux aux théories du don ? Quelles sont les stratégies d'affirmation de soi et de transmission à l'œuvre et observables ? Quelles sont les intentions et a contrario les attentes ? L'analyse de la transaction peut-elle amener à réévaluer les pratiques des archivistes et des bibliothécaires ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles s'efforce de répondre cet ouvrage qui, ni manuel ni encyclopédie du don patrimonial, a l'ambition de replacer le geste du don de documents dans le contexte plus général du don comme créateur de lien social, de l'envisager dans sa dynamique de circulation dans la société et de s'interroger sur la nature symbolique de la relation qui se noue entre donateurs et donataires. Dépouillé de ses habits juridiques, le don d'archives ou de bibliothèques se révèle partiellement singulier. Le donateur s'y défait d'un bien en faveur d'un bénéficiaire collectif et anonyme, un bénéficiaire plus potentiel que réalisé ; l'établissement bénéficiaire - donataire apparent - est réellement le médiateur du don, lieu de conservation et de transmission de l'objet donné vers son destinataire réel, le public

    Abstract: Depuis un demi-siècle, la sociologie politique a mis l'accent sur la notion de « minorité » qu'ignoraient aussi bien l'Antiquité grecque que la France des Bourbons. Si les minorités religieuses sont donc une construction des sciences sociales, elles constituent cependant depuis des siècles des communautés dont on retrouve des caractéristiques à différentes époques. Le présent ouvrage envisage la place que tient la religion dans l'identité des minorités, à partir de trois axes : la spécificité de l'identité religieuse des minorités, puisque celles-ci se définissent selon d'autres critères (linguistiques, sociaux, politiques, etc.) que la religion ; la manière dont les minorités religieuses ont été observées et jugées par des personnes qui leur étaient extérieures (juristes, théologiens, voyageurs ou diplomates) ; les stratégies adoptées pour vivre sa différence. L'espace retenu est l'Europe et la Méditerranée, du ve siècle avant J.-C. à la fin du xviiie siècle. Cette zone, marquée par le développement des trois religions monothéistes, offre un cadre d'étude cohérent. Les historiens disposent de sources variées, qu'ils peuvent croiser, pour suivre l'évolution des relations entre des communautés qui s'y côtoient depuis des siècles

    Abstract: L'ambition de cet ouvrage consiste à inviter au dialogue des spécialités - histoire militaire, histoire économique qu'elle soit interconnectée ou non, et histoire « classique » de la Révolution française - peu accoutumées à croiser leurs problématiques dans un champ disciplinaire souvent cloisonné. Dans une perspective dialectique, il s'agit de faire fructifier ensemble les évolutions en cours dans ces domaines respectifs afin de proposer une synthèse historiographique présentant les chantiers en cours sur la spécificité des zones portuaires métropolitaines et coloniales et des espaces maritimes mondiaux pendant la Révolution française jusqu'à la paix d'Amiens (1789-1802), tant du point de vue des enjeux économiques, politiques et militaires que des réalités observées sur le terrain. L'ouvrage réunissant les contributions de vingt chercheurs français et étrangers s'organise en six parties, scrutant d'abord les conditions financières et pratiques du développement des armées au long cours. Il envisage les aspects politiques, économiques et scientifiques de la révolution maritime, puis focalise l'attention sur les secteurs spécifiques de la Méditerranée - un enjeu central de la diplomatie et des guerres révolutionnaires - et des façades atlantiques confrontées aux forces britanniques. Il analyse les profonds changements intervenus dans les échanges américains et les mondes coloniaux, et se clôt par un resserrement de la focale sur l'échelle individuelle. Ce livre dresse un bilan très actuel sur l'état des recherches dans des champs disciplinaires en profond renouvellement

    Abstract: Les années 1984-1988. sont à tous égards décisives car elles virent le premier président socialiste de la Ve République renoncer à son programme de 1981. L'angle de vue choisi est ici volontairement régional pour contribuer, par une approche décentrée des pôles de décision parisiens, à une meilleure compréhension des événements politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels de la période considérée. Au départ du projet, le constat que l'année 1986 vit se tenir sur tout le territoire national, DOM inclus, les premières élections régionales au suffrage universel direct. Occasion évidente de prendre la mesure des rapports de forces politiques différenciés d'une région à l'autre dans un pays souvent réputé a priori - mais à tort - comme unifié par près de deux siècles de « jacobinisme ». Plus largement, il s'est agi d'observer les transformations sociales et culturelles, les douloureuses mutations économiques et les évolutions partisanes de grande ampleur d'une façon territorialisée. En partant du principe - qui a été vérifié, décrypté et pondéré - que la crise de la sidérurgie ne signifie pas la même chose et n'est pas vécue de la même manière à Paris et à Longwy, que les mobilisations pour « l'école libre » diffèrent d'une région à l'autre, que « l'alternance », mot lancé par Valéry Giscard d'Estaing en 1978, ne recouvre pas les mêmes réalités quotidiennes au niveau national et aux divers échelons des pouvoirs locaux

    Abstract: Entre 1958 et 1987, le droit français s'est enrichi de mesures favorables aux intérêts des cultes : exonérations fiscales, garantie publique des emprunts, etc. Quelle histoire se cache derrière ces nouvelles dispositions légales ? Comment la Ve République a-t-elle construit un cadre qui sert les intérêts des cultes tout en respectant l'interdiction de leur financement public posée en 1905 ? Le présent ouvrage montre que des responsables catholiques ont su trouver une oreille attentive auprès de décideurs politiques appartenant aux différentes familles de la droite. Dans les années 1960, leurs demandes visaient à abaisser le coût de construction des églises. Au cœur des années 1970, l'enjeu était l'intégration à moindres frais des prêtres, religieux et religieuses à la Sécurité sociale. Une décennie plus tard, il s'agissait de relancer le denier du culte en autorisant sa déductibilité fiscale. Chemin faisant, le rapprochement de l'État et des religions organisé par la loi Debré (1959) sur le terrain scolaire a été complété sur le plan cultuel par une série de dispositifs qui restent d'actualité

    Abstract: Tout aussi vastes qu'ils furent divers, les mondes britanniques ont constitué, entre les îles et l'empire, une expérience humaine unique dans l'histoire. Le but de cet ouvrage est d'illustrer sur la longue durée l'histoire de ces mondes et de ces populations plus bigarrés qu'on a longtemps voulu le croire et dont le trait commun a, peut-être, été l'appartenance à un espace régi par des modes de circulation, de domination, de régulation et de contestation spécifiques. L'espace britannique lui-même nourrit la réflexion à travers l'ambivalence fondamentale d'une identité écartelée entre des territoires distincts, une longue et tenace réalité européenne déjà plurielle et un destin impérial qui fut long à se forger. Formes de l'intégration, résistances et contestations en ont également fait un gigantesque laboratoire collectif d'adhésion et de résistance à l'uniformisation contrariée des comportements et d'expérimentation de l'irréductibilité du local au central. Il s'agit d'appréhender ici, derrière le récit constitué de la geste impériale, les processus de l'élaboration, souvent contrariée, des identités et cultures propres aux mondes britanniques, de ces innombrables destins, certes divers et pluriels, mais partagés

    Abstract: John Dewey s'attache à reconstruire radicalement l'idée selon laquelle l'esthétique n'est pas une propriété ésotérique de l'expérience, mais ce par quoi toute expérience humaine tend à s'unifier. Cela implique pour lui de ne plus séparer l'esthétique et l'artistique, la contemplation et la pratique, la réception et la création, mais plutôt de les réunir au contact et à la racine de l'expérience concrète. L'ouvrage tente ainsi de prendre toute la mesure de cette esthétique radicale qui refuse tous les dualismes et notamment celui de l'individu et de la société. En effet, si l'expérience esthétique apparaît bien à la fois comme l'expérience la plus individuelle et la plus accomplie, son individualité ne présuppose pas l'existence d'un individu pensé comme un atome isolé. Couper le processus d'individuation de sa dimension intrinsèquement sociale ne peut que dévoyer la nature même de la vie démocratique en substituant aux interactions émancipatrices entre les individus, un modèle fondé sur la concurrence et la rivalité. Par là, John Dewey nous invite à repenser et à reconstruire le lien mouvant et créateur qui unit l'individu à la société démocratique

    Abstract: Les questions environnementales cristallisent des enjeux de pouvoirs comme le montrent les controverses actuelles autour du changement climatique, de la pollution de l'air, de la mise en péril de la biodiversité et de la transition énergétique. Depuis une quarantaine d'années, elles suscitent des mobilisations et font l'objet de négociations et d'oppositions à toutes les échelles. Or cette tendance récente s'ancre dans un passé plus lointain. Ce livre a l'ambition de montrer l'ancienneté et la richesse des liens entre pouvoirs institutionnels et environnement. Les quatorze contributions réunies ici interrogent les modalités de cette relation en balayant plusieurs siècles d'histoire sur trois continents (Europe, Amérique, Afrique). D'abord, les questions environnementales participent de l'affirmation des pouvoirs : les catastrophes naturelles et le surgissement des risques apparaissent comme des moments privilégiés de cette coconstruction. Ensuite, la définition de l'environnement constitue un attribut essentiel des institutions et des acteurs qui, pour défendre des milieux, sont parfois amenés à les politiser. À travers les aménagements et la gestion des confits, l'environnement apparaît enfin en tant que sujet de négociations et objet de jeux d'acteurs complexes au sein desquels les pouvoirs publics jouent un rôle souvent difficile, à l'interface entre des intérêts divergents

    Abstract: La France du « Grand Siècle » est notamment connue pour l'extraordinaire mouvement d'embellissement qui toucha de nombreuses villes jusqu'à la fin de l'Ancien Régime. L'épanouissement de ce phénomène urbain sous le règne de Louis XIV a tôt fait de le faire assimiler au volontarisme politique du monarque absolu. Cette interprétation longtemps vivace a eu pour effet de passer sous silence l'action décisive des populations, des habitants des villes eux-mêmes, face à ces aménagements urbains. À partir des embellissements qu'ont connus les villes d'Aix et de Marseille au milieu du xviie siècle, cet ouvrage permet de revenir sur ces événements qui ont profondément marqué l'organisation de nos villes. En reléguant au second plan les aspects architecturaux et monumentaux de ces accroissements d'ampleur, pour se concentrer sur les processus juridiques et sociaux qui encadrent et accompagnent ces opérations urbaines, ce livre éclaire sous un jour nouveau l'action des habitants les plus divers dans ces projets. À partir d'un éventail documentaire particulièrement varié, ce sont plus largement les modes de production de l'espace des sociétés anciennes qui se trouvent mis en lumière. Du marché des échanges de biens immobiliers et fonciers aux appareils de pouvoir en charge de l'administration des territoires urbains, en passant par l'économie et les chantiers de construction, cette étude permet de mieux cerner la manière dont s'articulaient les logiques individuelles et les pratiques collectives dans la gestion et l'administration de ces « villes en train de se faire »

    Abstract: Véritable essai d'histoire transnationale du handicap, cet ouvrage reconstitue la genèse et le développement des politiques internationales du handicap au cours du xxe siècle. Il met au jour les premières actions développées au cours de l'entre-deux-guerres par les institutions intergouvernementales (OIT, SDN, OH) en faveur de certaines catégories d'infirmes (mutilés de guerre, accidentés du travail, aveugles), puis l'unification des politiques de réadaptation des « handicapés » sous l'égide de l'ONU après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dégageant les enjeux géopolitiques liés à la guerre froide, il montre comment l'ONU, l'OIT et l'OMS promeuvent au début des années 1950 un projet de modernisation de la réadaptation qui s'inspire des expériences des pays anglo-saxons et nordiques, légitimant l'insertion professionnelle des personnes handicapées selon des principes libéraux. L'ouvrage cerne les mécanismes et les limites de l'internationalisation de ce projet de modernisation de la réadaptation, à travers trois pays (Argentine, Brésil, Espagne) ayant bénéficié de l'assistance technique de l'ONU, de l'OIT et de l'OMS dans le domaine de la réadaptation entre 1956 et 1959. Des experts internationaux sont alors missionnés dans ces trois pays pour promouvoir des politiques de réadaptation inspirées des expériences des pays anglo-saxons et nordiques

    Abstract: Revisiter la notion d'année terrible telle qu'elle avait été forgée par Victor Hugo pour désigner la séquence allant de la déclaration de guerre de juillet 1870 à la fin de la semaine sanglante en mai 1871, tel est l'enjeu de cet ouvrage collectif. Fondé sur une approche transpériodique et transdisciplinaire, il invite à une réflexion sur les processus de désignation et les usages de ce chrononyme d'année terrible. Cinq séquences d'entrée en guerre ont été retenues afin de les comparer. Comment les historiens questionnent-ils cette notion polysémique ? Interrogeant les paradigmes de ces moments de basculement dans une autre temporalité, ils en définissent l'échelle la plus pertinente pour capter la perception des contemporains face à cette expérience traumatisante qui bouleverse les repères. Pour cela, ils analysent les traces scripturales, visuelles, matérielles produites par les contemporains, figures en vue comme anonymes. Mais cet ouvrage propose aussi une réflexion sur les processus de construction mémorielle de ces années terribles, en termes de filiations comme de décalages, avec l'objectif de leur instrumentalisation politique

    Abstract: La mer constitue le personnage principal de chacun des tableaux des « Ports de France » réalisés par Joseph Vernet entre 1753 et 1765. Le regard porte en premier lieu sur les navires amarrés, perçoit ensuite l'intense activité des quais, puis distingue des individus parmi lesquels... des femmes, bien présentes dans un monde maritime traditionnellement masculin. Cet ouvrage entend attirer l'attention sur les multiples déclinaisons du rapport qu'entretiennent les femmes avec la mer, en variant points de vue et échelles d'observation. Il rassemble des travaux jusque-là dispersés, en histoire mais aussi en littérature et en histoire de l'art, pour une époque moderne débordant sur le xixe siècle et qui s'inscrit dans une perspective européenne. L'histoire maritime et littorale d'un côté et de l'autre, l'histoire des femmes et du genre : passionnant croisement des sources ô combien fécond pour qui se donne la peine de revisiter les archives, bien souvent de lire entre les lignes ou encore d'interpréter les silences. Les quinze contributions réunies ici en témoignent. Faire face à l'absence et savoir gérer celle-ci, vivre de la mer, approcher l'océan, le contempler et parfois s'en désintéresser : hors des clichés, cette union n'est pas contre nature

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage envisage l'histoire politique récente des disciplines scolaires à différentes échelles sur plusieurs continents. Il vise à éclairer les rapports entre cultures politiques et transmission scolaire des savoirs, tant aux États-Unis qu'en Europe occidentale, en Chine, en Russie ou dans les territoires ultramarins français. Alors que le rôle des disciplines scolaires dans la construction des États-nations commence à être bien connu, il est intéressant de comprendre comment les rapports entre sociétés, pouvoirs et disciplines scolaires ont évolué depuis 1945 et jusqu'à nos jours, dans des contextes démocratiques ou autoritaires. Sous l'effet de la démocratisation scolaire ou de l'emprise grandissante de l'évaluation, les facteurs qui déterminent l'organisation et le contenu des disciplines scolaires ont beaucoup changé. L'étude de ces transformations ne se fait pas uniquement à travers l'analyse des outils pédagogiques mais met ceux-ci en relation avec des changements plus larges concernant la géopolitique ou les politiques nationales, les évolutions démographiques, les changements des mentalités et des cultures transmises

    Abstract: Les politiques d'aménagements des espaces portuaires, littoraux et fluviomaritimes sont au cœur de cet ouvrage qui veut comprendre les mécanismes à l'œuvre depuis le xvie siècle jusqu'au xxe siècle. Les aménagements sont étudiés dans leur diversité, des plus modestes aux plus spectaculaires, quai, bassin, jetée, phare, citadelle, et dans une dimension spatiale étendue, à l'échelle du littoral français, avec la mise en exploitation du trait de côte, de la saline au parc conchylicole, du pré-salé à la station balnéaire, en incluant la protection des littoraux, l'édification des digues et l'entretien des dunes, ou encore la question de l'accessibilité des estuaires et fleuves côtiers. Le livre aborde les questions majeures de l'innovation, de la technicité et de l'expertise des aménagements, celles des marchés et des entrepreneurs, acteurs peu connus, véritables bâtisseurs du littoral. Il interroge la problématique du développement au regard du coût et du financement des infrastructures, de la création à l'entretien, où s'entremêlent les enjeux économiques et les pouvoirs

    Abstract: « Soulager la détresse alimentaire ! » : cette antienne pathétique que l'on croyait l'apanage des grandes organisations humanitaires internationales est devenue un appel à secourir ici et maintenant, dans notre société. La paupérisation d'une population croissante a suscité au cours des dernières décennies une mobilisation d'ampleur qui s'est traduite par des reconfigurations d'associations historiques (Sociétés de Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Secours catholique, Secours populaire...), des créations (Banques alimentaires, Restos du cœur...) et des initiatives multiples. C'est à l'ensemble du champ constitué par ces acteurs collectifs que cet ouvrage est consacré avec pour objectif d'en suivre, depuis les années 1930, les jeux d'accointance et de concurrence, les formes et les logiques d'approvisionnement et de recrutement, les usages et les registres de justification de l'action. En combinant la démarche de l'historien et les outils du sociologue, en croisant archives publiques et privées, documentations internes, presse et entretiens (bénévoles, responsables associatifs et politiques, fonctionnaires d'État, territoriaux et européens, cadres de la grande distribution), ce livre interroge les processus qui, des œuvres philanthropiques d'hier aux associations humanitaires contemporaines, ont affecté la nature du bénévolat, l'esprit et la forme du don ainsi que leur type de gouvernement. Il montre qu'en comparaison de la solidarité collective garantie par l'État sous forme de droits, l'aide d'urgence alimentaire a revêtu depuis toujours, par-delà la rhétorique humanitaire, une forme dégradée de sécurisation de l'existence. Des « miettes de solidarité » en quelque sorte, constituées par des denrées soustraites au marché et reliefs de nos tables solvables

    Abstract: Qu'on l'appelle « D-Day », « Jour J », « 6 Juin » ou « Débarquement », nulle autre précision n'est nécessaire pour évoquer l'offensive alliée en Normandie en 1944, alors même que de nombreuses opérations militaires de ce type ont été menées au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et que le sort de l'Allemagne nazie s'est joué sur le front de l'Est. Quelles sont les raisons qui expliquent que cette bataille - une parmi tant d'autres qui ont émaillé les conflits du xxe siècle - a d'emblée revêtu une dimension historique pour les contemporains ? Pourquoi précisément cette opération militaire est-elle désormais régulièrement commémorée par autant de chefs d'État sous le regard des télévisions du monde entier ? Comment expliquer le statut si particulier acquis par cet événement au fil des décennies, jusqu'au projet d'inscription des plages du Débarquement au patrimoine de l'Unesco ? En revenant à la dramatisation des enjeux d'une bataille annoncée près de quatre années à l'avance, mais aussi aux ressorts politiques, idéologiques, économiques et culturels qui ont contribué à transcender l'événement en épopée, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur la quête d'identité de chacun des acteurs nationaux à travers l'évolution de leur mémoire. Ainsi peut-on mieux comprendre la surprenante transformation de l'épisode guerrier en symbole universel de paix et de liberté

    Abstract: Mai 1967, au Nigeria, la République du Biafra déclare son indépendance. Bientôt, la guerre civile et la famine ravagent la région et font progressivement irruption dans les médias européens et américains. Les photographies du conflit soulèvent une émotion considérable en Occident L'enclave sécessionniste et les zones reprises par l'armée nigériane deviennent alors le théâtre d'importantes opérations de secours, élaborées et financées par de multiples organisations et gouvernements. S'inscrivant dans une historiographie de l'humanitaire en plein renouvellement, ce livre raconte l'histoire de la guerre, de sa métamorphose en une crise internationale et des réponses qui ont été apportées. Basé sur un important corpus de sources provenant de fonds d'archives français, britanniques, suisses, nigérians et américains, il offre une plongée dans le monde de l'humanitaire à la fin des années 1960. Il montre les reconfigurations qui s'y opèrent à l'heure postcoloniale en proposant des échelles d'observation complémentaires - internationale, nationale et locale. L'ouvrage revisite par ailleurs quelques-unes des controverses qui se sont développées autour du conflit à propos de l'instrumentalisation de l'aide, de ses liens avec le politique, de la réception des opérations de secours sur le terrain ou encore de la naissance du sans-frontiérisme et du témoignage. Il revient ainsi sur la place occupée par la crise du Biafra dans l'histoire de l'aide humanitaire

    Abstract: Du milieu des années 1930 à la fin des années 1940, dans tous les pays européens du pourtour méditerranéen, des femmes et des hommes ont combattu, selon des temporalités et des modalités différentes, dans des mouvements de résistance antifasciste, que ce soit contre le régime en place ou contre une armée d'occupation, au premier chef l'armée allemande. Dès le temps de la lutte et à la sortie de cette phase de longues et intenses convulsions, la question de la place et du rôle des femmes a été soulevée, souvent par les acteurs et les actrices eux-mêmes. Elle a plus encore retenu l'attention de la recherche scientifique à dater des années 1970, quand les revendications féministes ont tait irruption dans le monde intellectuel et sur l'avant-scène publique. En revanche, les questions liées à la catégorie de genre n'ont été prises en compte que tout récemment et de façon inégale en fonction de l'aire géographique. Ce champ d'investigation relève davantage encore actuellement d'un chantier en pleine ébullition que d'un jardin à la française. C'est sur ce chantier que les artisan·e·s de cet ouvrage ont réfléchi ensemble dans une perspective transnationale qui en modifie les caractéristiques et la perception. Venu·e·s d'Australie, d'Espagne, des États-Unis, d'Italie, de France, de Grèce, de l'ex-Yougoslavie, leurs contributions éclairent différemment une période qui défie volontiers l'analyse
