À l'heure où la "crise" remet en cause les dogmes économiques et compromet le développement de la richesse dans notre économie de marché, force est de souligner combien la notion de richesse, par elle-même, pose problème. Enrichissant le débat d'une autre dimension à la faveur du "regard éloigné" de nos disciplines, c'est sur "la richesse ailleurs" qu'ont porté nos interrogations d'ethnologues et d'archéologues. La réflexion sur ce vaste sujet a été développé au cours du colloque "Richesse et Sociétés" qui s'est tenu à Nanterre en juin 2012. Qu'est-ce donc que la richesse ? Quelles conceptions lui sont liées, comment se définit-elle, de quoi se compose-t-elle ? Comment devient-on riche ? Quels sont les sources, les facteurs et les stratégies qui mènent à la richesse ? Quelles sont ses manifestations et quels en sont les effets ? Quels sont les modalités et les canaux de circulation, interne et externe, de la richesse ? Y a-t-il de grandes disparités de fortune entre individus, entre jeunes et vieux, entre hommes et femmes, avec quelles conséquences ? Quels rapports s'observent entre la richesse et le statut, la stratification ou la classe sociale ? Quels sont ses liens avec le pouvoir ? Avec la religion ? Avec le surnaturel ? Pour répondre à ces questons, les approches archéologiques et ethnologiques alternent dans les diverses parties de l'ouvrage, qui traitent des définitions et usages de la richesse, de sa captation, de sa circulation, des relations entre richesse et surnaturel, et de son imbrication avec la hiérarchie sociale et politique.

We live in a world obsessed by luxury. Long-distance airlines compete to offer first-class 'sleeping experiences' and hotels recommend exclusive suites where you are never disturbed. Luxury is a rapidly changing global industry that makes the headlines daily in our newspapers and on the internet. More than ever, luxury is a pervasive presence in the cultural and economic life of the West - and increasingly too in the emerging economies of Asia and Latin America. Yet luxury is hardly a new phenomenon. Today's obsession with luxury brands and services is just one of the many manifestations that luxury has assumed. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for example, luxury was linked to notions of magnificence and courtly splendour. In the eighteenth century, luxury was at the centre of philosophical debates over its role in shaping people's desires and oiling the wheels of commerce. And it continues to morph today, with the growth of the global super-rich and increasing wealth polarization. From palaces to penthouses, from courture fashion to lavish jewellery, from handbags to red wine, from fast cars to easy money, Peter McNeil and Giorgio Riello present the first ever global history of luxury, from first-century Romans to twenty-first-century Russian oligarchs: a sparkling and ever-changing story of extravagance, excess, novelty, and indulgence. -- from dust jacket.
