En proposant une ethnographie de situations observées localement, cet ouvrage entend aller à l’encontre d’une vision universaliste vs particulariste de la globalisation. Envisageant les catégories forgées par et pour le Nord comme étant avant tout situées – ce qu’elles sont par définition –, il interroge à nouveau frais les processus de traduction, c’est-à-dire d’appropriation créative, de ces catégories qui s’ancrent dans des lieux et des histoires, et produisent de nouveaux imaginaires qui, à leur tour, circulent pour participer pleinement de la globalisation. Il questionne les logiques et les valeurs sous-jacentes aux pratiques, qui sont autant de leviers de l’identité, de la cohésion sociale et de la mobilisation collective. Il examine enfin les capacités d’actions, mais aussi les contraintes des musiciens et des danseurs qui réévaluent ainsi le rapport entre le local et le global selon les moyens qui sont à leur disposition et leurs stratégies propres. Au final, sans jamais minimiser les forces uniformisatrices de la globalisation, cet ouvrage analyse, à travers le prisme du champ artistique, la fabrique de « modernités multiples » à la fois distinctes de celle du Nord et en dialogue permanent avec elle.

Large-scale comparisons are out of fashion in anthropology, but this book suggests a bold comparative approach to broad cultural differences between Africa and Melanesia. Its theme is personhood, which is understood in terms of what anthropologists call 'embodiment'. These concepts are applied to questions ranging from the meanings of spirit possession, to the logics of witchcraft and kinship relations, the use of rituals to heal the sick, 'electric vampires', and even the impact of capitalism. There are detailed ethnographic analyses, and suggestive comparisons of classic African and Melanesian ethnographic cases, such as the Nuer and the Melpa. The contributors debate alternative strategies for cross-cultural comparison, and demonstrate that there is a surprising range of continuities, putting in question common assumptions about the huge differences between these two parts of the world.
