Abstract

The question this text addresses is whether our images of cultural tradition and modernity in East and West, in past and present, are so blurred that we look at them as through a glass, darkly? The contributors argue for greater understanding and communication between cultures.

Abstract

This book is a study of the interaction of the Western societies of Europe and America with others around the world in the past two centuries - the age of European empire. It deals with the European threat and the non-Western response, but the focus is on the ways in which people in Asia, Africa, and Indian America have tried to adapt their ways of life to the overwhelming European power that existed in this period. The challenge and the response are presented through a series of selected and widely scattered case studies. They vary from those of the Maya and Yaqui of Mexico, to millennial responses as varied as the Ghost Dance or the cargo cults of Melanesia, as well as those of major players like the Ottoman Empire and Meiji Japan.

Abstract

Du XVe au XVIIe siècle, la mise en valeur des implications concurrentes de philosophies venues de l'Antiquité, la découverte du Nouveau Monde, l'établissement de multiples réseaux de spiritualité, l'application de nouveaux principes dans la vie politique et sociale semblent imposer le pluriel des interprétations. Le recours collectif ou individuel aux textes fondateurs, à l'autorité des récits de fondation, permet l'appropriation ou la réappropriation des savoirs et des pouvoirs, l'affermissement ou la stabilisation, qui n'est jamais dénuée de violence, de nouveaux milieux de savoirs et de pouvoirs. Les différentes analyses présentées ici permettent, à partir d'études de cas bien circonscrites, de saisir quelques modalités et quelques enjeux importants de la fondation/refondation des savoirs et des pouvoirs aux XVe-XVIIe siècles.
