La sociologie est davantage que francophone, elle est française. Mais n'oublions pas nos voisins du Nord qui y contribuèrent. L'ouvrage s'ouvre sur les origines de la sociologie belge (1890-1914) et son développement, avec ses sociologues (G. de Greef, E. Solvay, E. Dupréel, H. Janne), ses anthropologues (L. de Heusch, P. Smith, J.-T. Maertens) et s'achève sur l'application des sciences humaines à la scène (post)coloniale.

This book captures the dynamics of history, memory, and territorial cults in Houay Yong, a Tai Vat village situated in the multiethnic highland frontier between Laos and Vietnam. By taking seriously the experiences of the villagers, it partakes in a broader movement to reintegrate highlanders and their agency into history at large. Based on comprehensive fieldwork research and the examination of colonial archives, this book makes accessible, for an English-speaking audience, untapped French archives on Laos and early publications on territorial cults written by French ethnologists. In so doing, it provides a balanced perspective, drawing from the fields of memory studies and classical historical research. Following a chronological approach stretching from the nineteenth century to the present, it extends narrative analysis through a comparative ethnography of territorial cults, a key component of the performative and material presentification of the past. Highly interdisciplinary in nature, History, Memory and Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos will be useful to students and scholars of anthropology, history, and religious studies, as well as Asian culture and society.

The Past Inside the Present

History, Memory, and Territorial Cults in the Highlands of Laos

Après les bouleversements liés à la sédentarisation des années 1950 et suite à leur lutte politique, les sociétés inuit accèdent à présent à des formes d'autonomie territoriale : au Nunavut et ailleurs, l'heure est au partenariat, et le gouvernement compte sur les anthropologues pour participer au renouveau culturel, les « traditions » étant sollicitées pour faire face aux défis du présent. Que signifie ce partenariat et quels sont ses fondements idéologiques ? Comment les anthropologues réagissent-ils à la multiplication des procédures d'accès au terrain et autres contraintes déontologiques ? Que penser du statut des « elders », devenus interlocuteurs privilégiés des nouveaux projets pédagogiques et d'une anthropologie souvent tournée vers l'idée de sauvetage culturel ? Quelle place pour l'anthropologie de la jeunesse et comment aborder les rapports interculturels entre les Inuit et la société eurocanadienne ? Le présent ouvrage aborde ces interrogations épistémologiques sensibles et engage à une pratique prononcée de la réflexivité dans ce contexte en constante évolution, où l'implication citoyenne du chercheur est hautement valorisée. In the wake of the upheavals caused by the shift to a sedentary lifestyle in the 1950s, and after a long political struggle, Inuit societies are now obtaining forms of territorial autonomy. In Nunavut, and other places, a new partnership is being formed, and the government is counting on anthropologists to participate in this cultural renewal which draws on 'traditions' in order to face the challenges of the present. What is the significance of this partnership, and what is its ideological grounding? How have anthropologists reacted to the emergence of new procedures for access to the field and other deontological constraints? What of the status of elders, who have become central agents in pedagogical projects, as well as in an anthropology often geared to the idea of cultural salvage? What place can be made for an anthropology of youth, and how are the relationships between Inuit communities and Euro-Canadian society to be approached? This volume tackles these sensitive theoretical questions, and urges a distinctly reflexive practice in this constantly evolving context, one in which the scholar's civic engagement is highly valued.
