Abstract

Doit-on considérer la Négritude comme un mouvement ancré dans la fin de la période coloniale et sur lequel il n'y a plus lieu de revenir ? C'est une des questions que le colloque qui s'est tenu à l'Université des West Indies à la Barbade en l'honneur du centenaire de la naissance de Senghor s'efforce d'explorer. Lylian Kesteloot nous rappelle encore récemment dans son étude Césaire et Senghor un pont sur l'Atlantique l'importance de ce mouvement qui entre les années trente et soixante a parti...

Abstract

The Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture is the first comprehensive reference book to provide multidisciplinary coverage of the field of black cultural production in Britain. The publication is of particular value because despite attracting growing academic interest in recent years, this field is still often subject to critical and institutional neglect. For the purpose of the Companion, the term 'black' is used to signify African, Caribbean and South Asian ethnicities, while at the same time addressing the debates concerning notions of black Britishness and cultur

Abstract

For over ten years, Race and Ethnicity in Latin America has been an essential text for students studying the region. This second edition adds new material and brings the analysis up to date.Race and ethnic identities are increasingly salient in Latin America. Peter Wade examines changing perspectives on Black and Indian populations in the region, tracing similarities and differences in the way these peoples have been seen by academics and national elites. Race and ethnicity as analytical concepts are re-examined in order to assess their usefulness.This book should be the first port of call for anthropologists and sociologists studying identity in Latin America.

Abstract

How did the authors of the Hebrew Bible perceive the Cushites? Sadler demonstrates that the answer to this question provides insights into the way differences that modern scholars would classify as "racial" were understood in ancient Israel/Judah. By examining explicit biblical references to Cush and Cushites, a nation and people most modern scholars would deem racially "black," this book explores the manner by which the authors of the Hebrew Bible represented the Cushite, and determines whether differences in human phenotypes facilitated legitimating ideologies that justified the subjugation

Abstract

"Throughout US history, black people have been configured as sociolegal nonpersons, a subgenre of the human. Being Property Once Myself delves into the literary imagination and ethical concerns that have emerged from this experience. Each chapter tracks a specific animal figure-the rat, the cock, the mule, the dog, and the shark-in the works of black authors such as Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Jesmyn Ward, and Robert Hayden. The plantation, the wilderness, the kitchenette overrun with pests, the simultaneous valuation and sale of animals and enslaved people-all are sites made unforgettable by literature in which we find black and animal life in fraught proximity. Joshua Bennett argues that animal figures are deployed in these texts to assert a theory of black sociality and to combat dominant claims about the limits of personhood. Bennett also turns to the black radical tradition to challenge the pervasiveness of antiblackness in discourses surrounding the environment and animals. Being Property Once Myself is an incisive work of literary criticism and a close reading of undertheorized notions of dehumanization and the Anthropocene"--

Abstract

Dans la pensée contemporaine, l’esclavage est considéré comme un crime contre l’humanité, parce qu’il nie des droits universellement reconnus (la liberté, l’égalité), en faisant de l’être humain une propriété, un objet. Pourtant, l’affirmation de l’homme en tant qu’être juridique porteur de droits subjectifs est historiquement et culturellement marquée. Il a pu exister, même en droit français, un droit objectif de l’esclavage. Cette réalité conduit à s’interroger sur la logique de légitimation de l’esclavage, et à l’inverse sur l’émergence d’une définition juridique de l’homme comme sujet de droit. Le centre « Éthique et procédures » et la faculté de droit Alexis de Tocqueville (Université d’Artois), à l’initiative de Manuel Carius et de Tanguy Le Marc’hadour, ont invité juristes de droit public ou de droit privé et historiens du droit à réfléchir sur les rapports du droit et de l’esclavage. Leurs contributions, limitées à l’espace juridique français, mais étudiant des époques et des lieux variés, analysent le code noir et ses évolutions, ou le droit international contemporain, en passant par le droit du protectorat marocain ou le statut de l’indigène en Algérie. Le droit de l’esclavage ayant longtemps cohabité avec son interdiction, on constate un relativisme juridique qui lui donne des contours imprécis, sur deux points : il fait de l’esclave un être juridique hybride, à la fois chose et homme, dont le statut varie avec le temps, et il désigne aussi « l’autre humanité », susceptible d’être mise en esclavage, et « l’autre lieu », l’ailleurs où existera l’esclavage. Il crée alors une altérité mouvante qui prend des formes différentes selon les époques et les lieux. Les contributeurs du colloque présentent ainsi une réflexion sur un droit pris entre exigence morale et intérêts économiques ou sécuritaires.
