Affirmative Exclusion
Jean-Loup Amselle explores the issue of multiculturalism by delving into the history of France's confrontation with ethnic difference. Amselle analyzes France's relationship to Egypt, Algeria, and Senegal to show how ideas about difference and assimilation played out in French colonial policies and how these same tensions continue to be problematic as France grapples with cultural pluralism. Amselle's book has timely and wide-ranging implications. Arguing against the "liberal communitarian state" as it exists in the United States, Amselle contends that an overemphasis on difference can lead to what he calls "affirmative exclusion"--the flip side of affirmative action. The recognition of a mu...
Contro il primitivismo
Il remoto, ciò che vive in uno spazio lontano che si immagina custodito dal tempo, viene promosso a originario, ad arcaico ancora tangibile. Ecco l'abbaglio primitivista. Vi cadono i clienti dei club di vacanze esotici, ma ne sono preda anche le grandi organizzazioni internazionali e i ricercatori che, per mestiere, scovano nei luoghi sperduti del Terzo Mondo terreni vergini da autenticare come tali. Soprattutto a loro, ai suoi colleghi antropologi, non fa sconti Jean-Loup Amselle. Il suo affondo assume i toni dell'autocritica di un'intera disciplina, a partire dal modo con cui costruisce l'oggetto di indagine: le cosiddette «società primitive», feticci etnologici senza storia fissati in...
Le siècle des lumières en bande dessinée
L’anthropologie de Jean-Loup Amselle se distingue par son attention constante à l’histoire et par sa conception pragmatique des identités comme résultantes de rapports de force toujours susceptibles d’être modifiés. On lui doit la déconstruction des catégories d’« ethnie » et de « métissage », une critique acerbe de l’ethnologie coloniale, de l’idéologie républicaine et de leurs raciologies conjointes, mais également l’élaboration de cadres conceptuels nouveaux. Sa théorie des « branchements » – ou toutes les dérivations opérées à partir d’un réseau, ainsi que les torsions et emprunts latéraux entre divers « lieux de la culture », toujours en tens...
No centro da etnia
Muitas vezes os próprios antropólogos foram os responsáveis por um abuso da noção de etnia, nem sempre usada de forma precisa. Os textos reunidos nesta obra - que se tornou um clássico desde sua publicação em 1985 -, mediante a conjugação de análises de alcance geral com estudos de casos, procuram se interrogar sobre essa noção controversa a partir da situação africana. Com efeito, era importante repensar as noções de etnia e de tribo, cada vez mais associadas a outras noções como a de Estado e de nação. Era necessário retornar a determinadas formas de classificação por demais esquemáticas e reducionistas.
Mestizo Logics
This innovative work seeks to reverse the perspective and reasoning of anthropology and to develop an alternative mode of conceiving culture that would not automatically privilege the colonizing West. That necessarily involves a critique of the ?ethnological reason” that extracts elements from their context, aestheticizes them, and then uses their supposed differences to classify types of political, economic, or religious ensembles. Such ?reason” yields classical oppositions like the State versus segmentary societies, market versus subsistence economies, and Islam or Christianity versus paganism. As an alternative, the author opposes to exclusionary categories a ?mestizo logic” that se...

In Search of Africa(s)
This important book by two leading scholars of Africa examines a series of issues that are central to the question of the postcolonial. The postcolonial paradigm, and the more recent decolonial paradigm, raise the issue of the universal: is the postcolonial the first phase of a new universalism, one which would be truly universal because it would be fully inclusive, or is it on the contrary the denial of all universalism, the triumph of the particular and of fragmentation? In addressing this issue Diagne and Amselle also tackle many related themes, such as the concepts of race, culture and identity, the role of languages in philosophy as practised in different cultural areas, the various con...
L'Occident décroché
De la critique postcoloniale, on retient surtout la remise en cause de l’universalité de la raison occidentale et celle de la prétention européenne à exporter les Lumières, la démocratie et les droits de l’Homme. Pour Jean-Loup Amselle, cette opposition entre l’Ouest et le reste est simplificatrice : elle ignore les connections et les interférences réciproques, ne prend pas en compte des philosophies ou des pensées concurrentes de la pensée occidentale élaborées en Europe et, enfin, méconnaît les réflexions et les controverses venues Afrique, d’Asie et d’Amérique du Centre ou du Sud. Pour y voir clair, il a donc entrepris une vaste enquête à travers continents et ...
