Engadir etiqueta | Summary: | This article discusses the texts that Michel de Certeau devoted to Latin America, either in whole or in part, between 1967 and the early 1980s. His encounter with Latin America thus accompanied the second part of his intellectual career, during which, after first training with father De Lubac and then at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, in the seminar of philologist and historian Jean Orcibal, he became an intellectual committed to the field of human sciences. Far from being just another dimension of his work, the Latin American experience played an essential role for De Certeau. It was the site of anthropological work that transformed his understanding of the world. In the pages that follow, I propose an argumentative itinerary through the texts of Michel de Certeau. This itinerary is organized around three successive themes: popular religion, political violence, and the invention of an anthropology common to Europe and America. |
