Sommario/riassunto |
|
Après avoir longtemps dénigré ses émigrés, l’Inde a récemment entrepris de les réhabiliter en leur consacrant une cérémonie annuelle fastueuse (Pravasi Bharatiya Divas), des prix prestigieux, ainsi que des statuts inédits leur octroyant de nouveaux droits. Au-delà des paillettes et des discours, quelle est la véritable nature des relations entre l’Inde et sa diaspora ? Quels sont les intérêts en jeu dans ce nouveau partenariat ? Quelles sont les conséquences de cette politique diasporique sans précédent sur la production de l’indianité, en Inde et à l’étranger ? A la lumière de deux communautés d’origine indienne, l’une établie à l’île Maurice, l’autre au Canada, cet ouvrage examine l’influence de l’Inde et des Etats d’installation sur les modes d’affirmation et de mobilisation en diaspora, nourrissant tantôt le mythe de la « communauté modèle », tantôt celui de la « minorité martyre ». Il met également en lumière la participation croissante des Indiens de la diaspora au processus de construction nationale de leurs pays d’origine |

et d’installation. La production conjointe de l’indianité par l’Etat d’origine, l’Etat d’installation et la diaspora répond ainsi à des influences réciproques et des convergences d’intérêts. Elle satisfait d’une part aux besoins d’intégration, de valorisation ou de victimisation des entrepreneurs diasporiques dans leur pays de résidence ; elle contribue d’autre part à façonner, à l’île Maurice et au Canada, l’image de sociétés multiculturelles ; elle participe enfin, par des moyens non conventionnels, à l’affirmation de l’Inde comme puissance émergente sur la scène internationale. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"This book discusses same-sex desire among elite, educated Roman men in late antiquity, when same-sex desire could operate as a distinct vehicle for expressing friendship, patronage, solidarity, and other important relationships. Indeed, a man's grandeur or reputation could be portrayed metaphorically, and with some paradox, as sexual |

attractiveness. Knowledge of the actual mechanics of same-sex sexual behavior demonstrated that there was nothing the elite classes did not know, even of behaviors that were often frowned on and even criminalized. Since Plato's dialogues were widely read and influential among the educated classes, same-sex attraction/knowledge could also operate as a vehicle for rising to the transcendent"-- |
"In an analysis that promises to be controversial, Man to Man: Desire, Homosociality, and Authority in Late-Roman Manhood surveys the presence of same-sex desire between men in the later Roman empire. Most accounts of recent years have either noted that sexual desire between men was forbidden or they have ignored it. This book argues that desire between men was known and that it was a way to express friendship, patronage, solidarity, and other important relationships among elite males in late antiquity. The evocation of this desire and its possible attendant corporeal satisfactions made it a compelling metaphor for friendship. A man's grandeur could also be portrayed metaphorically as sexual attractiveness, and the substantial status differences often seen in late antiquity could be ameliorated by a superior using amatory language to address an inferior. At the same time, however, there was a marked ambivalence about same-sex desire and sexual behavior between men, and indeed same-sex sexual behavior was criminalized as it had never been before. While rejection and condemnation may seem to indicate a decisive distancing between authority and this desire and behavior, authority gained power from maintaining a relation to them. Demonstrating knowledge of the actual mechanics of sex between men suggested to a witness that there was nothing unknown to the authority making the demonstration: authority that knew of scandalous masculine sexual pleasure could project its power pretty much anywhere. This startling dissonance between positive uses of same-sex desire between men and its criminalization in one and the same moment-a dissonance which recent discussions have been unable to address-requires further investigation, and this book supplies it"-- |
