Égalité et citoyenneté en Algérie et dans les établissements français de l'Inde au milieu du XIXe siècle
2008
Dans les colonies françaises d'Algérie et des établissements de l'Inde du XIXe siècle, la société était totalement différente de celle des « quatre vieilles colonies » : elle comportait des communautés identifiables, avec des droits locaux ; les habitants étaient régis par un statut juridique déterminé en fonction de leur religion. Ces statuts personnels des indigènes – terme pris dans son sens large et non dans celui du code de l'indigénat – étaient incompatibles avec le Code civil sans adaptation. Par ailleurs, l'organisation locale, en castes pour les hindous, en tribus pour l'Algérie, étaient également bien éloignées des institutions françaises. L'acculturation juridique était donc néce…
The insufficiencies of legal assimilation for economic and social integration in the French colonies in the 19th century
2007
Communication at the Center of social History of the 20th century, University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, Malher Center, June 22-23 2001 (The legacy of Colonization and Decolonization in Europe and the Americas); The case of the inhabitants of the French colonies in 19th century shows the importance but also the insufficiency of legal assimilation for economic and social integration. The evolution of the legal statute of colored men, free, freed and slaves, reveals the assimilationnist or segregationist intent of the different regimes. The principle of colonization (preservation of the colonies, or even colonial expansion) was widely accepted in 19th century. It was not called into questi…
REAL HUMANS? : Affective imaginaries of the human and its Others in the Swedish TV series Äkta människor
2019
According to the Swedish science fiction TV series Äkta människor (Real Humans, SVT and Matador film 2012-2014), humanoid robots called “hubots” are replacing the human workforce in care work and assembly line industries. Against the backdrop of current debates about immigration and citizenship in the Nordic countries, this article does a close, contextual reading of the series, exploring how the hubots influence work and family life. We are particularly interested in how hubots tie in with the cultural circulation of affect in relation to Otherness and how responses towards the “not-quite” human or dehumanized Other are negotiated in the present-day Nordic cultural imaginaries. What kinds …
Le combat de Victor Schoelcher contre la légalité de l'esclavage : l'abolition de 1848
2009
How has the French State been able to maintain slavery for more than fifty years after the Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen of 1789? The slave was considered, in a legal scope, not as a person but as a « movable », he was considered as an object that could be bought, sold, mutilated and tortured! Abolished for the first time in 1794, reinstated in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, slavery would definitively disappear in France only in 1848, thanks to Victor Schoelcher's (1804-1893) decisive action. This great humanist, by a tireless fight, managed to impose an immediate abolition – and not a progressive one as in Britain – showing that if this institution was certainly legal, it wa…
Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …
L'abolitionnisme de Victor Schoelcher, un humanisme mâtiné de colonialisme et de moralisme
1999
Although this title might be somewhat provocative, there is no intent to be anti-schoelcherist. The aim is not to diminish Victor Schoelcher's considerable achievements, but to fight against the unanimous preconceptions that have transformed this man into a myth. By studying the legal and political consequences of his proposals and his engagements, we have underlined not only the extent and complexity of his work for the Republic - that has been little known up to now, though Schoelcher ought to be considered to be one of the fathers of the Republic - but his contradictions too. Schoelcher was so sure of the virtues of the republican values of the mother country, that his fight, albeit huma…
Slancio missionario e «vocazione» coloniale nella Guyana francese della prima metà del XIX secolo : il «Nuovo Paraguay» di Anne-Marie Javouhey
2019
Nel 1828, a Mana in Guyana, Anne-Marie Javouhey fu l’artefice di un esperimento societario complesso, tra suggestioni del socialismo utopistico e riduzioni gesuite del XVII secolo, che sarebbe diventato un laboratorio per il riscatto degli europei emarginati e per l’emancipazione dei neri d’Africa portati nelle colonie. In 1828, in Mana, in French Guyana, Anne-Marie Javouhey was the maker of a complex society experiment, between suggestions of utopian socialism and Jesuit reductions of the seventeenth century, which would become a laboratory for the redemption of marginalized Europeans and for the emancipation of the blacks of Africa brought to the colonies.
Civil society organizations in high-immigration borders. Between humanitarianism and the defense of rights
2020
Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el papel de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en lugares de frontera con una alta migración, como son los casos de la frontera México-Estados Unidos y Marruecos-España, dos de los corredores migratorios de mayor importancia en el mundo. En estos espacios, sometidos a una vigilancia y una militarización cada vez mayores, las OSC vienen desarrollando desde hace tiempo una labor que se enfrenta crecientemente a los condicionantes impuestos por las políticas de control migratorio y de fronteras de los Estados. El artículo se basa en los resultados de del trabajo de terreno desarrollado en la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana (México) y e…
