Description

Dans ce petit opuscule, rĂ©digĂ© en 1952, Claude LĂ©vi-Strauss, qui n'est pas encore un anthropologue renommĂ©, nous livre sa conception du fait culturel. Sans polĂ©miquer, le texte renverse bon nombre d'idĂ©es reçues : l'illusion ethnocentrique selon laquelle l'humanitĂ© s'arrĂȘte aux portes de sa propre culture est partagĂ©e par tous les peuples ; l'idĂ©e de sociĂ©tĂ©s primitives suppose la croyance naĂŻve en un progrĂšs gĂ©nĂ©ral de l'humanitĂ© au nom duquel certaines civilisations sont jugĂ©es en avance sur d'autres. Quant Ă  la notion de race, contestĂ©e par la biologie gĂ©nĂ©tique, elle n'a pas davantage de pertinence pour l'anthropologue qui raisonne sur des cultures qui ne sont jamais homogĂšnes du point de vue ethnique. Ce que l'auteur met finalement en question, Ă  travers ces quelques pages, c'est le discours humaniste de l'essence humaine. Pour l'anthropologue, il n'y a pas une humanitĂ© mais des peuples, qui n'existent que par les diversitĂ©s qui les distinguent. Une belle leçon de relativisme culturel. --Émilio Balturi
