Sommario/riassunto

Ce livre est une invitation à penser la reconstitution de nos corps en Syrie depuis 2011. D’abord, le corps filmant et filmé, celui du témoin qui se fait un lieu premier de preuve, là où le combat de l’interprétation des faits fait rage. Mais aussi le corps en tant qu’il est pensé par les arts plastiques, le corps de l’artiste détenu.e qui revient à l’expérience de son incarcération politique, ainsi que le corps genré, le corps insurgé, le corps épique, le corps tragique, le corps nihiliste et le corps absolu. L’idée avancée est que les images de ces corps ne visent pas à représenter un réel, mais nous renvoient à lui différemment, nous rendant autres à nous-mêmes. Elles contaminent notre manière d’être par l’étrangeté du corps exposé. Plus radicalement encore, elles la contaminent par l’étrangeté du cadavre qu’elles mettent en avant. Ces images ne sont donc pas des objets secondaires, elles ne se contentent pas de mettre en évidence des éléments qui leur préexistent. Actives, elles initient un champ d’expérimentation de nouveaux vécus corporels.

Sommario/riassunto

The Indian American community is one of the fastest growing immigrant communities in the U.S. Unlike previous generations, they are marked by a high degree of training as medical doctors, engineers, scientists, and university professors. American Karma draws on participant observation and in-depth interviews to explore how these highly skilled professionals have been inserted into the racial dynamics of American society and transformed into “people of color.” Focusing on first-generation, middle-class Indians in American suburbia, it also sheds light on how these transnational immigrants themselves come to understand and negotiate their identities. Bhatia forcefully contends that to fully understand migrant identity and cultural formation it is essential that psychologists and others think of selfhood as firmly intertwined with sociocultural factors such as colonialism, gender, language, immigration, and race-based immigration laws. American Karma offers a new framework for thinking about the construction of selfhood and identity in the context of immigration. This innovative approach advances the field of psychology by incorporating critical issues related to the concept of culture, including race, power, and conflict, and will also provide key insights to those in anthropology, sociology, human development, and migrant studies.
