Qu’est-ce au juste qu’un paysage ? Pourquoi lui accorde-t-on aujourd’hui tant d’importance ? Rarement naturel, presque toujours façonné par l’homme, il est dans nos sociétés le fruit d’une histoire vieille de quatre siècles au cours de laquelle se sont peu à peu élaborés, transmis, modifiés des modèles paysagers qui déterminent notre perception de l’espace. Récemment le paysage est aussi devenu un enjeu social, écologique et économique... voire électoral. Le contrôler, c’est bien sûr contrôler l’espace, mais, plus largement, le devenir de notre société et de ses valeurs. Il est également un marché potentiel, avec ses professionnels, ses stratégies d’intervention, ses systèmes d’expertise qui jouent souvent de l’ambiguïté entre crise paysagère et crise sociale, et du consensus qui assimile de plus en plus le paysage à un patrimoine à sauvegarder, ou tout au moins à gérer. Finalement, le paysage fonctionne comme un symbole, une représentation, dont chacun use à des fins différentes. Et qui mieux que l’ethnologue peut témoigner de la force et parfois de la violence des symboles ? Ces dix-huit articles sont pour la plupart issus d’un appel d’offres initié par la mission du Patrimoine ethnologique (ministère de la Culture), avec la participation du SRETIE (ministère de l’Environnement).

The authors of this inter-disciplinary collection examine the role of space in six areas of West, Central and East Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They demonstrate the active quality of space and analyze the ways in which people have contested and shaped space, including responses to crises. In addition, a lengthy essay re-interprets tropical African history, 1800-1930, using spatial theory. Contributors look at how people have constructed mental maps, used discourse to organize territories, and perceived social landscapes. The studies employ a tri-level approach, one that moves from specific places to regions to macro-regional or transnational systems and back again. Authors draw upon written and oral sources to reconstruct the past and employ innovative mapping techniques to illustrate spatial dynamics.

Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists, however, have expunged life from their accounts, treating it as the mere output of patterns, codes, structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural, natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment, Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong, at the heart of anthropological concern. Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials, what it means to make things, the percept
