Sommario/riassunto

« Donner, recevoir, rendre », tel est le triptyque fondamental sur lequel s’ordonnent les rapports sociaux et se constituent les hiérarchies de pouvoir selon l’analyse formulée dès les années 1920 par l’anthropologue Marcel Mauss.  Cette dynamique sociale, sans être totalement remise en cause, est aujourd’hui largement interrogée tant par les anthropologues eux-mêmes que par d’autres sciences humaines qui se sont, à leur tour, emparées de cet outil de décryptage du lien social. Et si le don n’était qu’un moteur, parmi un ensemble complexe de dynamiques sociales, dont l’universalité resterait encore à démontrer ?  Les réflexions menées dans cet ouvrage font de la sorte ressortir la nécessité d’aller au-delà du stade de la définition de ce que peut être le don dans les sociétés anciennes pour finalement dépasser, en l’adaptant, le concept anthropologique de l’échange réciproque.

Sommario/riassunto

All over the world, borders are places of separation, distinction and violence on the one hand, and of encounter, mobility and everyday practices on the other. This is particularly true of the external borders of the European Union. When Spain joined the European Communities in 1986, Ceuta and Melilla, two cities in North Africa, became such an external border and the six-metre-high fences surrounding them became a symbol of “Fortress Europe”. But what does this mean for the people who live in such a place? How do they experience everyday life in a “caged city”, and how do they interpret their experiences?
This sociological study focuses on figurations between old-established groupings in the border space between Spain and Morocco, and reconstructs a post-colonial border space in the light of transformation processes and slowly changing power balances, in which belongings and views of history are constantly being renegotiated.
Different actors in the border space are studied from the perspective of figurational sociology, the sociology of memory and biographical research. Four detailed case analyses serve to illustrate the complexity of local social realities. These are embedded in historical and present-day social constellations in this border space between Spain and Morocco, and it is made clear that constructions of belonging and power relations in Ceuta and Melilla can only be understood in the context of colonial and post-colonial processes and events.
