En deçà et au-delà de la croyance et de son emprise
Cet article est consacré à une réflexion sur les frontières et les porosités entre engagement et militantisme à partir de la double appartenance de l’auteure, à la fois psychosociologue et syndicaliste. Comment l’action trouve-t-elle à se développer à l’appui de ces deux affiliations, en évitant les écueils du jugement et de la confusion ? L’expérience montre que cet exercice simultané de syndicaliste et de psychosociologue s’incarne dans des act…
Les mauristes des abbayes mancelles dans la sphère savante du Maine et des pays de l’Ouest
Les premiers chercheurs à s’établir à Saint-Vincent sont les auteurs de l’Histoire de Bretagne, dom Lobineau et dom Denis Briand, car dom Audren, à l’origine de ce projet, les fait venir avec lui pour y écrire cette Histoire. Mais tous les deux, pendant leur séjour manceau, s’intéressent aussi à l’histoire de la province du Maine et participent à la vie intellectuelle de la société savante du Maine. Ainsi dom Lobineau écrit des motets pour le maî…
Boundaries within intimacy
This article explores the complex interplay of differentiation and cultural intimacy in the interactions between Moroccan Jews and their Muslim neighbors. While the Jewish community in Morocco emphasizes its distinct identity by maintaining clear boundaries between Jewish and Muslim spaces, this effort paradoxically highlights shared cultural understandings between the two groups, facilitated by a tacit Muslim agreement to the existence of Jewish…
Culinary versatility and the "mufletization" of Israeli Mimouna rituals
Food rituals are crucial for negotiating cultural identity and social relations, but their role in reflecting and shaping social change remains underexplored. This article addresses this gap by examining the Mimouna, a Moroccan Jewish holiday, as a case study. Theoretical discussions on rituals typically contrast interpretive-contextual approaches, focusing on meanings derived from changing contexts, with structural-ontological approaches emphasi…
Mon ami Eugène
Disappearing Diaspora
This paper examines circumstances where religious practices challenge the survival of tiny diasporic communities. The persistence of such diasporic communities might be undermined by the need to fulfill religious practices that are insurmountable due to their small size. Using microscopic anthropological lenses, the paper focuses on a specific synagogue in Marrakech that innovatively mutates in its functioning to persevere and overcome the hurdle…
Diasporas and Religious Identities
For many years, anthropology contributed significantly to the reinforcement of "dominant notions of culture and identity as being closely tied to specific territories" (Jansen and Löfving 2009, p
Screening Out Their Own
The literature on ethnic groups that were formed following migration reveals how symbolic and socioeconomic boundaries are manipulated by veteran groups to keep out the unwanted immigrants. It shows how these boundaries are to maintain and preserve the veterans' dominant position. The case of the tiny Jewish minority living nowadays in Morocco reveals a seemingly contradictory mechanism: Muslim gatekeepers, who are part of the huge majority in Mo…

Taking Outside a Ritual
In this article, I show how anthropologists' focus on the marginal frequently becomes a means of reinforcing that marginality. In order to demonstrate this basic point, I take as a case study the Jewish Moroccan Mimouna holiday (as celebrated in Israel). After briefly presenting a possible venue for a critical analysis of the Mimouna, I show how Israeli anthropologists missed such perspective by endorsing widely accepted premises of the holiday's…
III.15. Mémoires d’un « abandonné sur place ». Les dix derniers jours au camp de Monowitz
Striving to be Separate
This article closely observes various survival strategies employed by the tiny Jewish minority in Casablanca aimed at fortifying their notion of predictability; i.e., the ability to foresee how interactions with the vast Muslim majority will unfold. Predictability is essential in the face of the imminent demise of the Jewish community. Jews' main strategy to achieve this goal is to constitute spaces of encounter where they believe that they can c…
Happy Mimouna
The article focuses on the ways in which the mimouna, a distinct Maghrebi Jewish spring holiday, is framed by the Israeli mainstream as a non-serious event, and its practices as primitive. Yet, while manifesting excluding practices and utterances towards it, the holiday is also endorsed by most Jewish Israelis. It asserts that this duality results from a single and unified socio-political mechanism employed by mainstream Israelis to marginalize I…

Pèlerins-voyageurs en patrie diasporique
By examining the impossibility of reviving “cultural intimacy” with the former spaces of the Diaspora, the analysis of the roots voyages of Israelis born in Morocco reveals the multiple tensions that cut across this form of mobility. The gaps separating Israeli visitors from Jews still living in Morocco, on the one hand, and Muslim Moroccans, on the other, are so many indications of the inaccessibility of the past. In more general terms, these ga…
Pour un bol de nouilles au boeuf
Le bouillon produit par la cuisson à l'étuvée a tendance à prendre une couleur brun clair aux reflets mordorés, tandis que la viande se dore d'un ton plus foncé. Si l'on y ajoute de la sauce de piments, une merveilleuse vague rouge vif s'étend sur la surface du bouillon, au point de recouvrir parfois complètement la vapeur chaude qui ne peut s'élever : c'est un coucher du soleil sur l'eau étale qui s'offre à vous. Alors, allez-y ! Prenez-en une b…
Diasporas - By Stéphane Dufoix
Israeli Anthropological Association Preparing to Call for Affirmative Action
Homelands and Diasporas
This collection focuses fresh attention on the relationships between "homeland" and "diaspora" communities in today's world. Based on in-depth anthropological studies by leading scholars in the field, the book highlights the changing character of homeland-diaspora ties. Homelands and Diasporas offers new understandings of the issues that these communities face and explores the roots of their fascinating, yet sometimes paradoxical, interactions. T…

Center and Diaspora
Contemporary Jews in Casablanca are facing a slow and constant process of diminution-a consequence of death and emigration (mostly to France). This process deeply influences the Jews' self-perception of their very existence in Morocco in various aspects of life. Their small number, along with the diminw tion process underline their marginality to Morocco's life. Yet, emigration also colors in a new light their feeling as a diaspora, and contradic…

Controlling Space, Essentializing Identities
Conceptions of urban space and the daily practices within it, typically demarcate city spaces as "go" and "no go," as an integral part of the cultural construction of social enclaves. In contrast to studies that demonstrate how powerful social segments utilize cultural demarcations of space as mechanisms of exclusion, this essay shows how spatial demarcations serve, instead, to promote self-preservation for a politically feeble and marginalized e…
Playing for Control of Distance
As part of their effort to cope with their future dissolution as a diasporic community (due to a constant demographic decrease), members of the diminished Jewish minority in Morocco try to contain their relations with Muslims within well-defined and controllable sociocultural enclaves. In this article, I examine one such enclave- a private beach named "Tahiti"-where Jews and Muslims engage through card games. I argue that as non-serious and rigid…

The Aftermath of Captivity
This is an 18-year follow-up of 164 former prisoners of war (POWs) and 190 controls. The study examined long-term morbidity, psychophysiological complaints, and illness-related behaviors. Psychophysiological complaints were found to be significantly higher among the POWs than among the controls. A significant association was also found between such complaints and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The individual's degree of impairm…
