From inclusion to decolonization
In the context of growing institutional commitments to decolonization and Indigenization, this article explores the complex, structurally mediated forms of agency through which settler, predominantly white faculty engage in that type of curricular reform. Drawing on participatory action research in a Canadian university that has formally pledged to Indigenize its academic programs, the study identifies multiple orientations to Indigenization and …
De la purification à la cohabitation
Cet article examine les reconfigurations des relations entre vies humaines et plus qu’humaines en contexte urbain post-industriel. À partir d’une ethnographie menée autour d’un projet de ferme de renouées du Japon à Saint-Étienne, France, il analyse comment artistes, scientifiques et retraités développent des liens sensibles et interespèces avec cette plante dite « invasive » et les friches urbaines où elle prolifère. Ces trajectoires incarnent l…
Widening the circle
Since Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Canadian universities have pledged to Indigenize education and hired Indigenous Curriculum Specialists to implement this commitment. These new higher education employees, however, face limited resources for, and resistance to, their work. To move forward, Indigenous Curriculum Specialists are calling for fruitful dialogues between them and their interlocutors at all levels of decision and policy…
Regenerating Maya-Mam ways of governing, Indigenous emancipatory politics in the age of the extractive imperative
The literature on the recent exponential growth of the extractive industry in Latin America and beyond has documented the various processes through which this sector has been empowered to expand its frontier, as well as the strategies that affected communities employ to resist it. However, in this article we instead focus on how some Maya-Mam residents of San Miguel Ixtahuacán understood and addressed the divisive effects of the Marlin Mine, whic…
Mining the Land While Sustaining Iiyiyiuituwin
In Canada, the relationship between Indigenous Nations and mining corporations is characterized by asymmetrical power dynamics. To address this situation, several Indigenous Nations who see mining as an opportunity to realize their financial autonomy have developed mechanisms to enhance their capacity to regulate how their traditional territories are exploited. Drawing on collaborative research conducted with the Cree of Eeyou Istchee, we show ho…
La décolonisation de l'enseignement universitaire à l'épreuve du colonialisme d'occupation
De plus en plus de mouvements étudiants ont dénoncé le fait que les universités perpétuent la colonialité, et exigé le démantèlement de l’eurocentrisme au cœur de l’enseignement supérieur. Les universités ont répondu de manières diverses à ces mouvements, soulevant l’enjeu d’une possible absorption de la critique à leur projet hégémonique. Dans cet article, à partir d’une étude de cas canadienne, nous examinons quelques-unes des limites des proje…
Genocide
The term “genocide” was formulated by Raphael Lemkin in the aftermath of the Nazi atrocities of World War II and became entrenched in emerging international law in 1948 by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Questions over what constitutes genocide, however, were raised immediately and remain an important source of debate. We review these debates and then turn to anthropology's relation with both the phenom…
Surviving in the margins of a genocide case in the making
In this article, we aim to draw attention to the hopes, frustrations and disillusions that so-called ‘transitional justice’ projects produce in drastically poor, war-torn, historically marginalized but politicized Indigenous communities. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research we conducted separately between 1982 and 2010 in Guatemala and Mexico, we describe the ways in which the world came to know about Finca San Francisco’s massacre, committ…
Towards a relational ethics
While anthropologists have reflected on ethics and power since the late 1960s, the specific dilemmas that arise in research conducted with children and youth have scarcely been addressed. Nevertheless, critical anthropology's reflections on power relations and reflexivity can valuably contribute to the interdisciplinary debate in the field of childhood studies, by complexifying categories of voice, dependency and agency, which are often taken for…
Health workers' perceptions of access to care for children and pregnant women with precarious immigration status
The Canadian government's recent cuts to healthcare coverage for refugee claimants has rekindled the debate in Canada about what medical services should be provided to individuals with precarious immigration status, and who should pay for these services. This article further explores this debate, focussing on the perceptions of healthcare workers in Montreal, a large multiethnic Canadian city. In April-June 2010, an online survey was conducted to…
L'anthropologie à l'épreuve des politiques du témoignage
La publication de Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans [Stoll, 1998] a suscité de vifs débats au sein des départements d'anthropologie d'outre-Atlantique. À la lumière d'une « double ethnographie » des « politiques du témoignage » sur la guerre au Guatemala, cet article entend proposer un mode alternatif d'« engagement » avec la prise de parole de nos enquêtés - c'est-à-dire, autre que ceux auxquels les débats suscités par la pu…
Ethnographier les silences de la violence1
Est fréquemment souligné, en ce qui concerne les mémoires d'atrocités, à quel point celles-ci sont en partie sinon pas totalement indicibles. Or, bien que de nombreux survivants témoignent de l'absence de mots pouvant traduire l'ampleur de l'horreur vécue, l'indicible est dit. Ces récits comportent certes des silences. Néanmoins, si on leur prête l'oreille, aurais-je appris en analysant ceux de survivants du conflit armé guatémaltèque, on peut pa…
Becoming Maya? The Politics and Pragmatics of "Being Indigenous" in Postgenocide Guatemala
This paper contrasts the way "Mayan" identity is conceptualized by NGOs and intellectuals in Guatemala with the everyday practices and material conditions influencing perceptions of identity in the rural town of Guaisná. The "truth" of past genocide and the experience of ongoing harsh socioeconomic inequality take on different meanings from these two perspectives. And yet inhabitants of Guaisná and Mayan intellectuals share an awareness of past a…
Les contradictions d'une reconstruction démocratique « par le bas
Depuis la fin du conflit civil armé au Guatemala (1960-1996), plusieurs organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) se sont inscrites dans la continuité du travail des deux « commissions de vérité » qu'a connues ce pays, en se donnant pour objectif de contribuer à la reconstruction de la démocratie « par le bas ». Internationales ou d'origine guatémaltèque, situées dans la capitale ou dans les villages où des massacres eurent lieu, elles travaillent…

Guatemala. Des ONG œuvrant pour la ' paix
Malgré la signature des Accords de paix en décembre 1996, qui mit fin à plus de 36 ans de guerre civile, le Guatemala demeure aujourd’hui un pays divisé et marqué par la violence. De nombreux rapports (Amnesty International 2002 ; MINUGUA 2002 ; ODHA 2002), de même que plusieurs témoignages recueillis sur le terrain, dénoncent l’augmentation des actes d’intimidation auprès d’employés d’organisations non gouvernementales (ONG), de juges, d’avocats…
Searching for the Words to Say It
This article analyzes the role cultural idioms play in the articulation of the experience of mental illness. After a brief survey of the literature concerned with the narrative transformation of experience and its expression in the social realm, this article identifies some of the narrative structures of the illness accounts that were collected for this project. I look, on the one hand, at the various languages used in the articulation of "mental…
