L’anthropologue et son double
En el ecosistema mediático de redes, plataformas y dispositivos conectados, la tecnología deja de ser un simple instrumento racional para convertirse en un operador de encantamiento colectivo. Las interacciones digitales —memes, emojis, avatares, flujos visuales y prácticas participativas— constituyen, por lo tanto, los rituales de una socialidad emocional basada menos en la opinión pública que en lo que podríamos llamar una emoción pública. Desd…

A Concern for the Invisible
Dwelling well, for the Dörvöd herders with whom I have interacted over the years, involves getting a few things right about the invisible. On the one hand, they need to navigate spaces that are teeming with ‘things’ that not everybody can see plainly, and which are best left undisturbed. On the other hand, behaving properly towards spiritual ‘land masters’ that constitute the places through which herders circulate involves them conforming to a ce…

Anthropologie de l'invisible
C'est par un travail autour du concept d'invisible que j'ai entrepris d'inaugurer la chaire d'anthropologie du religieux de l'École pratique des hautes études. Cela permettait, en premier lieu, de récapituler les recherches menées ces dernières années dans deux situations différentes, envisagées parallèlement, qui engagent chacune un rapport particulier à l'anthropologie et à ses méthodes
When the Picture Comes in
This article sketches out the conditions in which winning (türüüleh) may be achieved in Mongolian wrestling tournaments. Fieldwork carried out before, during and after the yearly competition of Naadam in the summer of 2019 suggests that these conditions are indeed rather diverse in nature. Getting ready for a contest requires wrestlers to be tending to several aspects of their personhood, as their strength, power (byar) or the success of their te…
Being skillful. Wisely navigating an intensely heterogeneous cosmos in Mongolia
This paper proposes to explore how being “skillful” (mergen) plays out and is relied upon in Mongolia within two different contexts, archery and divination, both linked to “cairns” (ovoo) in more than one way. In these contexts, skillful people are expected to embody a virtue that any Mongolian man or woman is supposed to exhibit daily in a less spectacular and consequential manner. As prominent bearers of skillfulness, archers and diviners are i…
Plus que des cadavres, moins que des fantômes
La photographie ethnographique du début du xxe siècle, dans son intention de rendre la « culture » visible à travers la figuration objective de scènes spécifiques de la vie autochtone, peut être envisagée par opposition à deux autres utilisations scientifiques de l’appareil photo à cette époque : d’une part, les photographies anatomiques des anthropologues physiques et, de l’autre, les photographies de fantômes des cercles spirites. En effet, si …

Fondee conjointement par Claude Levi-Strauss, qui en etait le principal instigateur et architecte, Emile Benveniste et Pierre Gourou, elle annoncait d’emblee son propos par son sous-titre, dans un Garamond italiques en pleine page qui semblait souligner son penchant litteraire : L’Homme se donnait pour ambition de devenir la Revue francaise d’anthropologie.

Le monde de maintenant
Un numéro double pour la période avril-septembre, avec deux éditoriaux, une nouvelle rubrique ainsi qu’un dossier thématique parmi des Varia, voilà qui ne correspond pas au format habituel de notre revue. L’Homme n’a en effet pas été épargnée par la tourmente de ces derniers mois, durant lesquels, confinement mais aussi déménagement du Laboratoire d’anthropologie sociale obligent, l’activité éditoriale s’est poursuivie loin du bureau de la rédact…
More than Corpses, Less than Ghosts
In its intent to make “culture” visible through the objective depiction of specific scenes of indigenous life, ethnographic photography at the turn of the twentieth century could be understood against two other scientific uses of the camera at that time: the anatomic photographs of physical anthropologists, on the one hand, and the ghost photographs of spiritualist circles, on the other. Indeed, while capturing “culture” involved having more than…
The Ruler, the Wrestler, and the Archer
This paper is an attempt to understand dwelling in Mongolia as the cultivated balancing of three interconnected virtues, prominently exhibited by some particular characters and exemplary people, yet actually to varying degrees expected from anybody else. These virtues are skilfulness (being mergen), force (hiimor') and power or diplomacy (erh); they are best embodied by archers, wrestlers and rulers, respectively. Drawing on three ethnographic vi…

Ghosts Happen
What is it that happens when the dead appear, when ghosts manifest? Beyond the variety of contexts, eras and approaches presented here, this volume considers ghosts not only as things that are believed in (or not), but also - and above all - as things that happen, as events. By the institutions they set in motion, the doubts they stir, or the solutions they inspire, these events generate solidarity, rekindle old conflicts, and define the borders …

Comment pensent les drones
Les débats éthiques liés à l'usage de drones de combat par les États-Unis, dans le cadre d'opérations militaires au Pakistan, en Afghanistan, en Somalie et au Yémen, se sont principalement concentrés sur le cas des frappes dites de « personnalité », dont le propos affiché est d'éliminer à distance des hauts responsables d'organisations « terroristes ». La majorité des frappes menées par les drones américains, pourtant, ne vise pas des personnes p…
Laurent Legrain, Chanter, s'attacher et transmettre chez les Darhad de Mongolie
Les Darhad aiment chanter et écouter leurs chants. Le point de départ du livre de Laurent Legrain est si simple qu’il pourrait sembler trivial. Après tout, n’est-ce pas le cas, à des degrés divers, de toutes les sociétés humaines ? En quoi les Darhad, ce peuple de pasteurs nomades vivant à l’orée de la taïga et aux confins de la steppe, dans le nord de la Mongolie, seraient-ils particuliers à cet égard ? Il est vrai que le répertoire musical darh…
Retoucher les morts
À la mort d'une personne, il est d'usage en Mongolie de confectionner un portrait funéraire à partir de sa photographie d'identité agrandie, colorisée et retouchée. Ce portrait est utilisé pendant les funérailles, puis installé à côté des images pieuses du foyer dans la maison qu'occupait le défunt jusqu'à sa mort. Ce portrait est censé constituer une sorte de double du mort, à travers lequel ce dernier pourra recevoir des offrandes de la part de…
Establishing mutual misunderstanding
This article discusses a strange case of shamanic ritual performed for aBuryat family inMongolia's capital cityUlaanbaatar. This performance not only differs from those described in the regional literature, but it also seems to challenge some of the models used to account for ritual efficacy. Indeed, while the cathartic use ofBuryat traumatic history to deal with a patient's misfortune in shamanic rituals is quite well documented, this performanc…

Neighbours and their Ruins
China, Russia and Mongolia share thousands of miles of border, but their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Presenting varied perspectives on how the borders between these unique countries are enacted, produced and crossed, this book illuminates global uncertainties: China’s search for energy resources and the employment of its huge population, Russia’s fear of Chinese migration, and the precarious economic independenc…

Frontier Encounters
China and Russia are rising economic and political powers that share thousands of miles of border. Yet, despite their proximity, their practical, local interactions with each other - and with their third neighbour Mongolia - are rarely discussed. The three countries share a boundary, but their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Frontier Encounters presents a wide range of views on how the borders between these unique c…
Parasitic Chinese, vengeful Russians
This paper considers stories of haunting by ghosts of a foreign origin that have been circulating lately in the capital city of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. These narratives, it is argued, depict Chinese and Russian people as very different kinds of strangers, defined by contrastive regimes of relationship with their host. Contrary to Russians, who are still remembered - rightly or not - as great providers, Chinese people are pictured in these stories …
Chinese Ghosts in Mongolia
This paper explores a rumour that has been circulating lately in Mongolia's capital city, Ulaanbaatar. People report encounters with Chinese ghosts, who appear in the form of long-bearded old men dressed in silken clothes. These curious apparitions are recognised by the population as the souls of Chinese merchants, who remained attached to the place where they buried the wealth they accumulated during their life. At a time when Chinese economic e…
The Little Human and The Daughter-in-law
This chapter focuses on two versions of a single story collected from North-west and North-east Mongolia. The story concerns a daughter-in-law's relationship with 'little humans' (jijig hün) at her in-laws' house. Although similar in their thematic content, the two stories differ in their endings. In the example from North-west Mongolia, the daughter-in-law successfully rids her in-laws 'house of a little human allowing them to prosper. In the ex…
A Sheep Herder's Rage
This paper explores the role of silence in contemporary rural Mongolia's mourning practices. It shows how silence may come as a response to the expression of extreme grief, when the mourner's behaviour goes beyond the frame of conventional mourning practices. Analysing the collective responses to a man's expression of extreme grief, this paper argues that mourning practices might not always be intended to make death meaningful: faced with the rag…

Enterrer, submerger, oublier
Cet article traite d'une réforme des pratiques funéraires conduite en Mongolie à partir du milieu des années 1950. Instituant l'obligation d'enterrer les morts, son enjeu principal est de rendre illégal le rituel pratiqué jusqu'à lors, consistant à déposer les cadavres des défunts à même le sol. Cette pratique, en effet, est jugée inconvenante et inadaptée à la vie urbaine. Le succès de la réforme est mitigé : si l'inhumation semble avoir été ado…

The Aftertaste of Hope
This review essay concerns the collective farms in Mongolia and Buryatia. What is considered here is not collectivisation per se, but the way it has been studied by European and American specialists in this field, between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1980s
Les crapauds, les tortues et les canards. Sur la pratique du fengshui à Oulan-Bator
Au cours de l’année 2001 s’est ouvert à Oulan-Bator le premier centre mongol de fengshui proposant les services de spécialistes en réaménagement d’appartements et de lieux de travail. Le succès est immédiat, les centres se multiplient et ne désemplissent pas. C’est un jeune businessman, Ganbaatar, qui est à l’origine de cette heureuse initiative. Le fengshui qu’il propose aux Mongols, ce n’est pas en Chine qu’il l’a appris, mais en Angleterre, où…
