Abstract

This first modern, full-bodied study of early horticulture and agriculture in the Neotropics unites new methods of recovering, identifying, and dating plant remains with a strong case for Optimal Foraging Strategy inthis historical context. Drawing upon new approaches to tropical archaeology, Dolores Piperno and Deborah Pearsall argue that the tropical forest habitat is neither as hostile nor as benevolent for human occupation and plant experimentation as researchers have suggested. Among other conclusions, they demonstrate that tropical forest food production emerged concurrent with that in

Abstract

"Quand, dans la société primitive, l'économique se laisse repérer comme champ autonome et défini, quand l'activité de production devient travail aliéné, comptabilisé et imposé car ceux qui vont jouir des fruits de ce travail, c'est que la société n'est plus primitive, c'est qu'elle est devenue une société divisée en dominants et dominés, en maîtres et sujets, c'est qu'elle a cessé d'exorciser ce qui est destiné à la tuer : le pouvoir et le respect du pouvoir. La division majeure de la société, celle qui fonde toutes les autres, y compris sans doute la division du travail, c'est la nouvelle disposition verticale entre la base et le sommet, c'est la grande coupure politique entre détenteurs de la force, qu'elle soit guerrière ou religieuse, et assujettis à cette force. La relation politique de pouvoir procède et fonde la relation économique d'exploitation. Avant d'être économique, l'aliénation est politique, le pouvoir est avant le travail, l'économique est une dérive du politique, l'émergence de l'Etat détermine l'apparition des classes.
