[pt] A presente tese se debruça sobre a passagem das danças de orixá do terreiro para as artes cênicas, no intuito de pensar a relação entre arte e sagrado através de trabalhos em dança de coreógrafos brasileiros. Para isto, no entanto, parte de uma revisão crítica da perspectiva simbólico-representativa que guia as análises de textos canônicos sobre o candomblé, oriundos das disciplinas de antropologia e etnologia, sobretudo. Com este movimento inicial, se propõe a questionar esta perspectiva como um pressuposto ou um paradigma das análises que não leva em consideração uma crítica à tradição do pensamento por representação, ao passo que o candomblé teria seus próprios pressupostos filosóficos e cosmológicos, como uma visão de mundo que não necessariamente opera pela função simbólicorepresentativa. Em seguida, dedica-se a uma releitura da questão da biopolítica a partir do paradigma imunitário, que relaciona o saber científico sobre o corpo a uma concepção de política e democracia, interessante para se pensar a relação de uma sociedade fundada sob o regime colonial e escravista com os modos de vida e as visões de mundo não europeias no Brasil, uma vez que o candomblé foi se constituindo como uma religião à qual estas questões confluíam, tendo em vista o dinamismo inerente à tradição em que se fundamenta o culto. Por fim, a dança surge como campo de pensamento e de saber no qual as contradições se encontram e se resolvem a partir de um trabalho com o corpo, ressaltando positivamente sua multiplicidade - e não, como no projeto biopolítico, no intuito de confiná-lo mediante concepções dicotômicas. Isto se dá, primeiramente, a partir de uma reflexão acerca da importância do som e da música como modos de pensar as organizações políticas, econômicas e sociais, numa desierarquização dos sentidos a partir da qual emergem racionalidades e visões de mundo. Finalmente, o trabalho de coreógrafos e bailarinos brasileiros que tomam como técnica não só as danças de matriz europeia, como o balé clássico, as danças moderna e contemporânea, mas também as danças de matriz africana, mais especificamente, os pés de dança de orixá. Essa passagem dos terreiros para o palco vem a levantar uma discussão sobre a relação entre o sagrado, o ritual e a arte, como campos que, segundo uma visão de mundo do candomblé, se pudermos chamar assim, não estão separados. / [en] This thesis aims to think about the passage of the dances of the orishas from the religious context of Brazilian candomblé to the stage, taking as an issue the relation between art and the sacred trough the works on dance of Brazilian choreographers. For this purpose, however, the thesis begins with a critical review of the symbolic and representative perspective that guides most of the canonic texts about Brazilian candomblé, mainly in the fields of anthropology and ethnology. This initial movement aims to put in question this perspective as a presupposition of the analyses that doesn t consider a critique to the representative paradigm that guide the western thought, once candomblé has its own philosophical and cosmological presuppositions, as a world view that not necessarily operates through this same symbolic and representative logic. Following this first movement, it dedicates to a rereading of the biopolitics issue from the immune paradigm that relates the scientific knowledge about the body to a political and democratic conception, which is interesting to think about the colonial and slavery system relations to the non-European ways of living and world views in Brazil that shaped the construction of candomblé as a religious body to which these issues flows, considering the inherent dynamism of the tradition in which it is based upon. The dance arises as a field of thought and knowledge in which the contradictions get together and are solved through the work with and from the body, emphasizing its multiplicity in a positive way - and not as in the biopolitical project that aims to confine it in opposite conceptions. This comes, first, through a consideration about the sound and the music as ways to think political, economic and social organizations, in order to undo the hierarchy of senses from which emerge different rationalities and world views. Finally, the works of Brazilian choreographers that take as a dance technique not only the European dances, but also the African dances and, more specifically, from the orishas that belongs to the religious tradition of candomblé. This passage from the terreiros (the temples) to the stage brings forward the relation between the sacred, the ritual and art as fields that, according to a world view founded in candomblé, if we can refer like that, are not aparted.

Dans Naissance de la clinique, Michel Foucault mit en évidence l’émergence au XIXe siècle d’un regard médical qui, en faisant taire la théorie au lit du malade, tâche de parler la langue étrangère de la maladie dans la profondeur des tissus. En opposition aux nosographies essentialistes du XVIIIe siècle, une forme de nominalisme médical apparaît progressivement à travers le développement de l’anatomo-pathologie. Cette médecine clinique est parcourue par un concept souvent oublié qui se trame, pourtant, dans l’ombre de son savoir et préfigure son dépassement. Il s’agit du concept de « probabilité ». Bien que celui-ci s’inscrit dans la clinique, l’application du calcul de probabilités ne parvient pas à s’y intégrer. Le XIXe siècle sera le théâtre d’un véritable conflit sur la conjecture qui oppose « les numéristes » et les cliniciens d’obédience hippocratique. L’orthodoxie de l’Ecole de Paris se trouve confrontée à l’émergence de la méthode numérique. La dispute théorique qui en résulte problématise l’application du calcul de probabilités en la médecine : du probable peut-on connaître autre chose que du probable ? Durant tout le XIXe siècle, on s’accorde à rejeter épistémologiquement cette méthode. Elle ne cadre pas avec la positivité des sciences médicales. Ce sera l’hygiène publique qui en fera usage pour pallier à l’inanité clinique dans le traitement des épidémies, des endémies et des épizooties. Cette rencontre conflictuelle de l’individuel et du collectif dans le médical fera naître une nouvelle forme de nosologie au XXe siècle. Il s’agit d’en comprendre l’émergence. / In The Birth of The Clinic, Michel Foucault highlights the emergence of a medical gaze in the 19th-century that – by vanishing the theory at the patient's bedside – tries to speak the foreign language of the disease in the depth of organic tissues. With the development of anatomo-pathology, a form of medical nominalism progressively appears in opposition to the essentialist nosography of the 18th-century. This clinical medicine is shot-through by a concept often forgotten that is framed, however in the shadow of clinical medical knowledge and that prefigures its disappearance. This is the concept of "probability". Even though this concept is part of clinical medicine, the application of probability calculation fails to be part of medical knowledge. The 19th-century was the scene of a conflict over numerical conjecture that opposes "Numerists" and Hippocratic’s Clinician. The Ecole de Paris’s orthodoxy was then confronted with the emergence of the numerical method. The theoretical dispute that results from the application of the calculation of probabilities in medicine gives rise to this question: from what is only probable, can we know anything else than what is probable? Throughout the 19th-century, the numerical method is rejected on epistemological grounds. It is held not to fit with the positivity of medical science. In the treatment of epidemics, endemic diseases, and epizootics, public health services make use of it still. This confrontation between the individual and the collective in medicine gives rise to a new form of nosology in the 20th-century.

[pt] O objetivo desta tese é, em primeiro lugar, analisar a reprodução do discurso da soberania nas Relações Internacionais enquanto mecanismo de fixação identitária e, em segundo lugar, deslocar o foco da soberania por meio de uma análise de mecanismos de morte, esta sendo objeto e local da soberania em si. Considerando o debate na teoria queer sobre os limites da política, a tese faz uma análise crítica do desenvolvimento dessa perspectiva teórica na disciplina, apresentando uma leitura que fomenta o desmantelamento da noção de uniformidade do Estado e da prevalência do internacional como condição das Relações Internacionais, a fim de entender o internacional como universalidade. Depois disso, em diálogo com Foucault e Butler, a tese se aprofunda no detalhamento das relações de poder a nível do corpo por meio do debate sobre a sujeição implicada pela fixação identitária do gênero, e assim a demonstra como fundamental para as premissas da racionalidade e da agência como fundadoras da soberania. Para tal, o contexto brasileiro de marginalização e violência contra minorias de gênero e raça é considerado. Analisa-se a degeneração como forma de produção da diferença em uma gama de variações na intersecção de raça e gênero, em um engajamento crítico com o conceito de racismo de Estado. Nessa linha, a tese aprofunda, então, uma discussão teórica acerca dos diferentes exercícios de morte sobre o outro para entender as contrapartidas da expansão da vida, colocando em evidência a violência constitutiva da formação de uma identidade soberana. A tese então propõe uma análise da morte como chave da agência do ser e da soberania, a partir de uma leitura do excesso batailleano. A soberania é analisada no flerte com a morte, tanto na morte lenta quanto na morte violenta, ambas no entremeio entre a consciência e sua interrupção, e entre a utilidade e o dispêndio. Sendo assim, o identitarismo é posto em xeque por meio do questionamento da capacidade agencial resumida à razão, em uma contribuição que parte da perda de si como contestação da figura do indivíduo e do Estado soberano. Por fim, a proposta de conceituação alternativa da soberania é examinada retomando as potenciais problemáticas identitárias presentes no debate queer. O objetivo é retomar a discussão sobre radicalidade queer e sobre as consequências do movimento de desnaturalização tanto do gênero como da soberania, sejam elas significativas em termos de resistência ou não. / [en] The objective of this thesis is, firstly, to analyze the reproduction of the discourse on sovereignty in International Relations, understanding it as a mechanism of fixation of identity and, secondly, to dislocate the focus of sovereignty through an analysis of mechanisms of death, considering death as object and locus of sovereignty itself. Considering queer theory’s debate on the limits of politics, the thesis engages critically with the development of this theoretical perspective in the discipline, presenting a reading that foments the dismantling of the notion of State’s uniformity and the prevalence of the international as a condition of International Relations, with the aim of understanding the international as universality. After that, in dialogue with Foucault and Butler, the thesis deepens itself in detailing the relations of power at the level of the body through the debate on subjection implied by gender identity’s fixation, demonstrating it as fundamental to the premise of rationality and agency as both founding of sovereignty. To do so, the Brazilian context of marginalization and violence against gender and race minorities is considered. Degeneration is pondered as a form of production of difference in a range of variations at the intersection of gender and race, in a critical engagement with the concept of State racism. Following that, the thesis deepens, then, a theoretical discussion around the different exercises of death over the other in order to understand the costs of the expansion of life, evidencing the constitutive violence of the formation of a sovereign identity. The thesis then proposes an analysis of death as key to the agency of the being and to sovereignty, departing from a reading of bataillean excess. Sovereignty is analyzed in flirting with death, both in slow death as in violent death, both in between consciousness and its interruption, and in between utility and expenditure. Thus, identitarianism is put in check through the questioning of agential capacity reduced to reason, in a contribution that departs from the loss of the self as a contestation of the image of the individual and the sovereign State. Finally, the proposal of an alternative conception of sovereignty is examined by recovering the discussion about queer radicality and about the consequences of the movement of denaturalization both of gender as well as sovereignty, be them significative in terms of resistance or not.

[pt] A dissertação tem como objeto de investigação a gênese do conceito de trabalho imaterial amplamente desenvolvido e difundido por Antonio Negri. Na perspectiva da esquerda italiana, analisaremos, inicialmente, o impacto da Depressão de 1929 e os dois principais dispositivos, Fordismo e Keynesianismo, desenvolvidos e intensamente expandidos para superar este primeiro grande ciclo de crise do século XX. Na sequencia, trataremos do Operaísmo - movimento surgido na Itália em meio às lutas operárias das décadas de 1960 e 1970 - em seu contexto histórico e temas centrais. O Operaísmo, enquanto movimento que reuniu inúmeros jovens pensadores em torno da proposta de uma releitura da obra marxiana, não se limitou a uma construção teórica, e procurou, sobretudo, criar instrumentos de crítica e de ação para as lutas operárias que se desenrolaram no segundo grande ciclo de crise do capitalismo nos anos 1970. Por fim, passaremos a tratar do conceito de trabalho imaterial - um conceito em construção, razão pela qual são diversas as disputas em tornos dos seus elementos fundamentais. A dimensão biopolítica, os aspectos subjetivo e econômico-político desse conceito serão abordados com base nas formulações elaboradas por Antonio Negri. / [en] The paper has as object of research the genesis of the concept of immaterial labor developed and widely disseminated by Antonio Negri. From the perspective of the Italian left, we analyze, initially, the impact of the Depression of 1929 and the two main devices, Fordism and Keynesianism, developed and expanded intensively to overcome this first major cycle of crisis of the twentieth century. In the sequel, we tackle the Workerism - movement emerged in Italy amid labor struggles of the 1960s and 1970s - in its historical context and central themes. The Workerism while movement that brought together many young thinkers around the proposal of reading Marx s work, sought not merely a theoretical construct, but, above all, create instruments of criticism and action for workers struggles that unfolded in the second great cycle of crisis of capitalism in the 1970s. Finally, we will discuss the concept of immaterial labor - a concept under construction, which has several disputes on lathes of its fundamental elements. We will discuss the biopolitical dimension, and subjective, economic and political aspects of this concept based on formulations developed by Antonio Negri.

[pt] Nesta dissertação, são analisadas práticas discursivas de atores estatais que constroem, de diversas formas, a Política de Pacificação e, mais especificamente, o Programa de Polícia Pacificadora no Rio de Janeiro, desde seu surgimento em 2008. Em uma análise de discurso pós-estruturalista, são identificadas duas articulações discursivas principais: por um lado, o Programa é construído como um conjunto de práticas voltadas para a retomada de territórios que representam uma fonte de risco para a população como um todo, o que torna possível o emprego de práticas violentas e militarizadas; por outro lado, o Programa é construído como um conjunto de práticas voltadas para a gestão da vida e fomento do desenvolvimento socioeconômico das comunidades em processo de pacificação. A partir da análise das práticas discursivas associadas às duas articulações, argumento que a disputa pela estabilização dos significados associados à pacificação no Rio de Janeiro reflete uma ambiguidade mais ampla associada ao emprego de práticas biopolíticas pelo Estado: ao mesmo tempo em que se defende que toda a população deve ter seus direitos assegurados e seu desenvolvimento fomentado, o Estado mantém para si a prerrogativa de delimitar, de forma soberana, certos espaços e sujeitos como fontes de risco para a população, submetendo-os a formas distintas e iliberais de governo. No caso da pacificação, argumenta-se que tal ambiguidade gera impactos que incluem a persistência de práticas policiais violentas lado a lado a esforços de policiamento de proximidade – o que, no limite, pode impactar a sustentabilidade do Programa e seus resultados. / [en] This dissertation offers an analysis of state actors discursive practices which construct, in various ways, the Pacification Policy and, more specifically, the Pacifying Police Program in Rio de Janeiro, created in 2008. In a post-structural discourse analysis, two main discursive articulations are identified: on one hand, the Program is constructed as a set of practices aimed at the recovery of those territories which pose a risk to the whole population, which enables the deployment of violent and militarized practices; on the other hand, the Program is constructed as a set of practices aimed at the management of life and the promotion of socioeconomic development in the communities undergoing a pacification process. By analyzing the discursive practices associated with both articulations, I argue that the dispute over the stabilization of meanings associated with pacification in Rio de Janeiro reflects a broader ambiguity, which is associated to the deployment of biopolitical practices by the state: while it is defended that the entire population must have their rights assured and they development promoted, the state maintains the prerogative to delimitate, in a sovereign manner, certain spaces and subjects as sources of risk to the population, submitting them to distinct and illiberal forms of government. In the case of pacification, it is argued that such ambiguity leads to impacts such as the coexistence between a persistence of violent police practices and efforts of proximity policing – which may arguably impact the sustainability of the Program and its results.

Les feux de forêt sont plus en plus fréquents et intenses ces dernières années, notamment en raison des changements climatiques. De nombreuses communautés autochtones se trouvent en milieu forestier et donc exposées à cet aléa. Dans ce contexte, il est pertinent de se pencher sur les dynamiques des rapports sociaux entre organismes de gestion des feux de forêts, communautés autochtones, forêts et feux. C'est ce que fait cette thèse à travers l'étude spécifique du paysage plus-qu'humain qui s'est constitué autour de trois feux de forêt qui ont menacé la communauté atikamekw de Wemotaci en 1977, 1997 et 2010. Au niveau théorique, cette recherche se place au croisement entre l'anthropologie des catastrophes (Oliver-Smith et Hoffman 2020) et les études autochtones, tout en se positionnant au sein de l'écologie politique (Akrich, Callon et Latour 2006; Tsing 2017; Berkes, Colding et Folke 2003a). La méthodologie déployée mobilise des approches relationnelles inspirées des méthodologies autochtones (Smith 2012; Kovach 2009; Wilson 2008; Absolon Minogiizhigokwe 2011) et les apports des féminismes autochtones (Green 2017a) afin de produire une recherche aux visées anticoloniales et anti-oppressives. L'analyse de ces trois situations de feux de forêt met en lumière une tension. D'une part, elle met en évidence des procédures et politiques officielles de gestion des feux de forêt et des urgences qui considèrent les Autochtones comme devant être pris en charge et les excluent souvent des processus décisionnels. D'autre part, elle documente comment les membres de la communauté atikamekw ont été actifs lors des situations de feu en protégeant leur village et en s'occupant de leurs évacué·e·s. L'analyse des rapports de pouvoir et des mécanismes d'exclusion ont montré que plusieurs dynamiques nourrissent ce processus d'exclusion : une approche biopolitique de la gestion des feux de forêt, une domination du savoir-expert et d'une épistémologie eurocentrée, une essentialisation de certaines différences entre Autochtones et non-autochtones cristallisée autour de la temporalité et de la relation au territoire, et enfin la présence d'une masculinité hégémonique dans le domaine de la lutte contre les feux de forêt. Pourtant cette recherche montre aussi que les Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok sont porteurs et porteuses d'une expertise propre en ce qui concerne la gestion des feux de forêt et des urgences, en lien avec la responsabilité de prendre soin du territoire et de la communauté. Cette analyse montre aussi comment le colonialisme patriarcal est présent lors des événements de feux de forêt connectant l'expérience des hommes et femmes atikamekw aux dynamiques genrées du domaine de la gestion des feux et au contexte colonial plus global qui lie communautés autochtones et institutions non-autochtones. Cette recherche permet également d'ouvrir une discussion sur les futurismes atikamekw et notamment les possibilités d'avenir qui ont émergé suite aux situations de feux, au-delà des systèmes d'oppressions mis en évidence. Ces résultats permettent d'imaginer une gestion des feux et des urgences différente qui laisserait place à diverses épistémologies et intègrerait les acteurs et savoirs locaux de manière significative dans ses processus. Cette recherche a l'originalité d'apporter une analyse genrée de situations de feux de forêt, en dialogue avec les féminismes autochtones. La place donnée aux entités non-humaines, y compris le feu iel-même, dans l'analyse de ce réseau multiacteur, permet également d'en arriver à la conclusion que les feux de forêt, et les catastrophes en général sont des processus sociaux plus-qu'humain dans lesquels des futurs peuvent être produits malgré les rapports de pouvoir qui s'y manifestent. / Forest fires have become more frequent and intense in recent years, particularly due to climate change. Many indigenous communities are located in forest areas and are therefore exposed to this hazard. In this context, it is relevant to examine the dynamics of social relationships between forest fire management organizations, Indigenous communities, forests and fires. This is what this thesis does through the specific study of the more-than-human landscape that was formed around three forest fires that threatened the Atikamekw community of Wemotaci in 1977, 1997 and 2010. At the theoretical level, this research is placed at the intersection of the anthropology of disasters (Oliver-Smith and Hoffman 2020) and Indigenous studies, while positioning itself within political ecology (Akrich, Callon, and Latour 2006; Tsing 2017; Berkes, Colding, and Folke 2003a). The methodology deployed mobilizes relational approaches inspired by Indigenous methodologies (Smith 2012; Kovach 2009; Wilson 2008; Absolon Minogiizhigokwe 2011) and contributions from Indigenous feminisms (Green 2017a) to produce a research with anti-colonial and anti-oppressive aims. The analysis of these three wildfire situations highlights a tension. On the one hand, it highlights official wildfire and emergency management procedures and policies that view Indigenous people as needing to be cared for and often exclude them from decision-making processes. On the other hand, it documents how Atikamekw community members were active during the fire situations by protecting their village and caring for their evacuees. The analysis of power relations and mechanisms of exclusion showed that several dynamics feed this process of exclusion: a biopolitical approach to forest fire management, a domination of expert knowledge and a Eurocentric epistemology, an essentialization of certain differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people crystallized around temporality and the relationship with the land, and finally the presence of a hegemonic masculinity in the field of forest firefighting. However, this research also shows that the Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok have their own expertise in wildifre and emergency management, linked to the responsibility of taking care of the land and the community. It also shows how patriarchal colonialism is present during wildfire events, connecting the experience of Atikamekw men and women to the gendered dynamics of the fire management field and to the broader colonial context that links Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous institutions. This research also opens up a discussion on Atikamekw futurisms and, in particular, the possibilities of futures that have emerged as a result of fire situations, beyond the systems of oppression that have been highlighted. These results make it possible to imagine a different kind of wildfire and emergency management that would leave room for various epistemologies and would integrate local actors and knowledge in a significant way in its processes. This research has the originality of providing a gendered analysis of forest fire situations, in dialogue with Indigenous feminisms. The place given to non-human entities, including fire itself, in the analysis of this multi-actor network, also allows us to conclude that forest fires, and disasters in general, are more-than-human social processes in which futures can be produced despite the power inequalities that are present.

Cette thèse défend l’idée que plusieurs auteurs modernistes ont utilisé des concepts centraux à la croyance religieuse traditionnelle afin de préconiser le changement social. Au lieu de soutenir l'hypothèse de la sécularisation, qui prétend que les modernistes ont rejeté la religion en faveur d'une laïcité non contestée, j'argumente en faveur de ce que j'appelle « la spiritualité moderniste, » qui décrie une continuité intégrale des concepts spirituels dans l'agitation de la période moderniste qui a déstabilisée les institutions qui avait auparavant jeté les bases de la société Occidentale. En me basant sur les écrit de Sigmund Freud, William James et Émile Durkheim concernant les fins poursuivis par la religion, je développe cinq concepts centraux de la croyance religieuse que les modernistes ont cherché à resignifier, à savoir la rédemption, la communauté, la sacralité, le spectre, et la liturgie, et, dans chaque cas, j'ai montré comment ces catégories ont été réinterprétées pour traiter des questions considérées comme essentielles au début du vingtième siècle, à savoir ce que l’on identifie aujourd’hui comme le féminisme, l'écologie, la biopolitique, les crises, et le rôle du poète. Le chapitre I se concentre sur la rédemption par le féminin telle qu’on la trouve dans le recueil de vers de H.D. portant sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Trilogy (1944-1946), qui projette un certain espoir grâce à un mélange synchrétique de Christianisme, de mythes anciens, d’astrologie, et de psychologie. Mon deuxième chapitre discute de The Grapes of Wrath (1939) de John Steinbeck, qui élargit le rôle de la communauté en avançant une écologie universelle qui concevoit tous les gens comme étant intimement liés entre eux et avec le monde. Le chapitre III traite de la notion du sacré dans The Light in August (1932) de Willam Faulkner et Nightwood (1936) de Djuna Barnes, qui préconisent une foi privatisée qui accentue l'illégitimité des concepts de sacralité et de pollution en élevant des individus qui sont marginalisés biopolitiquement. Le chapitre IV cherche à comprendre le retour des morts, et je soutiens que le topos a été utilisé par les modernistes comme un symbole de crises sociales; le chapitre enquête d'abord sur “The Jolly Corner” (1908) de Henry James, que j'ai lu comme la séquence rêvée d'un homme faisant face à son propre spectre, Ulysses (1922) de James Joyce, où Stephen Dedalus est hanté de façon répétée par le spectre de sa mère, et Mrs. Dalloway (1925) de Virginia Woolf, qui se concentre sur le motif caché de la Fête des Morts. Ma cinquième section traite de la liturgie, la langue poétique utilisée pour les rites religieux, dans la première poésie de Wallace Stevens, qui conçoit le rôle du poète comme une vocation de l'imagination. / This dissertation argues that many modernist writers used concepts central to traditional religious belief in order to urge social change. Against the secularization hypothesis, which posits that the modernists fully jettisoned religion in favour of an unquestioned secularism, I argue for what I term “modernist spirituality,” which identifies an integral continuance of spiritual concepts within the dire turmoil of the modernist period that destabilized the institutions such as an established organized religion that had previously formed the foundations of Western society. Hence, in each of my dissertation chapters, I have looked outside of organized religion to literature to find that spiritual impulse. Building upon the purposes of religion as defined by Sigmund Freud, William James, and Émile Durkheim, I name five concepts central to religious belief that the modernists sought to resignify, namely redemption, community, sacredness, the spectre, and liturgy, and, in each case, I have shown how these categories were reinterpreted to treat issues considered vital in the early twentieth century that would now be identified under the categories of feminism, ecology, biopolitics, crisis, and the role of the poet. The first function of spiritual belief addresses the intertwining of redemption and humanity’s actions within history, and for this reason, Chapter I focuses on redemption through the feminine as seen in H.D.’s book of World War II verse, Trilogy (1944-1946), which offers hope through a syncretistic blend of Christianity, ancient myths, goddess traditions, astrology, and psychology. My second chapter discusses John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (1939), which enlarges the role of community by positing a universal ecology of holiness that sees all people as connected with one another and with the land. Chapter III treats the notion of the sacred in William Faulkner’s Light in August (1932) and Djuna Barnes’ Nightwood (1936), both of which urge a privatized faith that emphasizes the illegitimacy of concepts of sacredness and pollution by elevating individuals who are marginalized biopolitically. Chapter IV seeks to comprehend the return of the dead in dreams or in visions, and I argue that the topos was used by modernists as a symbol of social crisis; the chapter first investigates Henry James’ “The Jolly Corner” (1908), which I read as a dream sequence of a man facing his own ghost, James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922), wherein Stephen Dedalus is haunted repeatedly by the ghost of his mother, and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925), which is textually ordered by the hidden motif of the Day of the Dead. My fifth section is an epilogue that treats liturgy, the poetic language used for religious rituals, in the early poetry of Wallace Stevens, who revisions the role of the poet as a vocation of the imagination.

Depuis la fin de la Guerre froide, la pratique de l’aide humanitaire est principalement devenue l’apanage des Occidentaux et de ses alliés, contribuant à l’émergence d’une norme d’intervention (néo)libérale. Cette recherche vise à déterminer s’il existe une pratique alternative; dans cette optique, le cas de l’humanitarisme cubain sera analysé. À partir d’une revue de la littérature et d’un travail de terrain conduit à Cuba auprès de coopérants ayant servi dans le cadre de « missions internationalistes », cette recherche se déroule selon trois étapes principales. Dans un premier temps, il s’agira, à partir des études réalisées par les auteurs post-foucaldiens tels que Duffield, Pupavac, McFalls et Pandolfi, de déterminer la nouvelle tendance de l’aide humanitaire apparue au sortir de la Guerre froide. Cette dernière a été représentée sous une forme idéal-typique par Laurence McFalls qui a identifié l’exercice de la gouvernementalité (thérapeutique) (néo)libérale sur les terrains d’intervention. Dans un deuxième temps, le coeur du travail consistera à élaborer l’idéal-type du modèle d’intervention cubain à partir des entrevues réalisées à Cuba. Dans cette seconde étape, il conviendra de caractériser la logique de l’action de l’humanitarisme cubain n’ayant pas encore été établie par les chercheurs. La troisième étape reposera sur la comparaison critique entre les deux idéauxtypes ayant été présentés, dans le but, ultimement, de déterminer si l’humanitarisme cubain s’inscrit dans la norme (néo)libérale ou si, au contraire, il présente une alternative à celle-ci. Ceci permettra d’élaborer une réflexion sur l’hégémonie, la domination légitime et la place de l’humanitaire dans les relations internationales. / Since the end of the Cold War, humanitarian aid has mainly been a Western practice, contributing to the emergence of a neo-liberal norm of intervention. In order to determine if there is an alternative practice, this research aims at analyzing the Cuban’s humanitarian aid. Based on a literature review and a fieldwork led in Cuba with those “internationalist missions” volunteers, this study follows three main steps. The first part, relying on studies carried out by post-foucaldiens authors such as Duffield, Pupavac, McFalls and Pandolfi, will determine the new trend of the humanitarian aid which appeared at the end of the Cold War. Laurence McFalls has presented it as an ideal-type as he identified the exercise of a (therapeutic) neo-liberal governementality on the humanitarian intervention’s field. Second, the logic of the Cuban international aid action, which has not yet been investigated by the researchers, will be characterized. Third, the previously presented ideal-types will be critically compared in order to determine if the Cuban humanitarian aid corresponds to the neo-liberal norm or if it, in fact, represents an alternative. This will allow us to think about key concepts such as hegemony, therapeutic domination and the place of humanitarian aid in international relations.

Notre étude s’interroge sur la construction de l’acteur « ennemi » dans l’institution sociale totale du camp de concentration à travers la comparaison de deux formes ; ceci dans des contextes sociaux, nationaux, idéologiques et étatiques différents – le camp de Rivesaltes et l’État Français et le camp de Béléné et la République Populaire de Bulgarie. Ces deux institutions sont traitées à partir de l’hypothèse de « différence de degré », qui se décline dans les notions de « singularité » et « pluralité », permettant de les saisir aussi bien au niveau politique qu’au niveau de l’institution concrète. Cette étude concerne la construction de la figure de l’acteur « ennemi » en partant du niveau social et politique pour arriver à la vie quotidienne au sein des deux formes concentrationnaires. Nous avons analysé la figure de l’ennemi, tout d’abord comme un produit d’une dynamique tournée vers la transformation sociale fondamentale. Nous avons également voulu comprendre les raisons d’apparition des formes concentrationnaires comme partie intégrante de ce « projet de société », et puis nous les avons analysées à travers la vie quotidienne qui s’établit en leur sein. L’institution concentrationnaire a assuré en soi une certaine stabilité qui lui a permis de bien remplir sa fonction dans la dynamique de transformation de la société. Cette stabilité est assurée par l’insertion de l’individu dans une série de cercles, sa soumission à une forme spécifique de pouvoir qui le transforme dans son essence de personne et d’être humain, mais aussi le posant comme un acteur dans un univers interactionnel particulier. Alors, quelle est la place de l’acteur « ennemi » dans la vie concentrationnaire et quelles interactions s’établissent-elles entre les différents acteurs au sein des camps ? / The present sociological study examines the construction of the "enemy" within the concentration camp, an absolute social institution, through the comparison of two forms, taken in their different social, national, ideological and state context – on one hand, the camp of Rivesaltes and the French government and, on the other hand, the camp of Belene and the People's Republic of Bulgaria. Both institutions are analyzed with the assumption of "difference of degree," developed by the concept of "singularity " and " plurality " which allows to identify them in their political dimension as well as on the concrete institutional level.This study deals with the construction of the specific figure the "enemy" as a social actor starting from the social and political level and getting to the everyday life in both concentration camp forms. We analyzed the enemy figure, at first as a product of a dynamic facing a fundamental social transformation. We also took into account the main reasons of concentration forms occurrence as an integral part of this " social project ", and then we have analyzed the aforementioned reasons through everyday life.The camp institution has assured itself a degree of stability that has allowed it to fulfill its function in the dynamic transformation of society. This stability is ensured by the involvement of the individual in a series of circles, his submission to a specific form of power which transforms soundly his personal character and adjoin to his human being condition, but also defines him as an actor in a particular interactional universe. Finally, what is the role of the actor "enemy" in concentration camp life and what interactions different actors in the camps establish between themselves?

[pt] A articulação entre psicanálise e educação para pensar o mal-estar na escola remonta aos primórdios da constituição da primeira. Se podemos encontrar em S. Freud uma oscilação entre o papel inibidor que caberia à educação e, por outro lado, um veio libertário, na medida em que esta acolhesse em seus objetivos a realidade pulsional na criança, há uma outra linha de pensamento na psicanálise que vai de S. Ferenczi a D. W. Winnicott, que permite outros encaminhamentos para a abordagem deste tema, especialmente na sua expressão atual. Esta tese objetiva investigar o que pode a psicanálise frente ao mal-estar na escola atual usando como ferramentas a genealogia do poder disciplinar e do biopoder em M. Foucault para compreender a emergência da categoria criança-aluno, os conceitos de norma e normalização para discutir os processos de medicalização e de patologização de crianças e de jovens no ambiente escolar na sociedade de controle e, finalmente, o pensamento de D. W. Winnicott e sua teoria do amadurecimento psíquico e seus desdobramentos. Aponta-se, ainda, para a propriedade desta teoria da constituição subjetiva precoce e de seus desdobramentos, que permitem pensar as formas de inserção na cultura, para os encaminhamentos diferentes do mal-estar na escola atual, compreendido como despotencialização do viver criativo. / [en] The articulation between psychoanalysis and education to think about the discontent in school dates back to the beginnings of the constitution of the former. If we can find in S. Freud an oscillation between the inhibiting role which had to be done by education and, on the other hand, a libertarian trace, in that this hosts into its objectives the instinctual reality in the child, there is another line of thought in psychoanalysis that goes from S. Ferenczi to D. W. Winnicott which allows other referrals to this theme approach, especially in its current expression. This thesis aims to investigate what psychoanalysis can do against the discontent in the current school using as tools the genealogy of the disciplinary power and the biopower in M. Foucault to understand the child-student category emergency, the standard and standardization concepts to discuss the medicalization and pathologizing processes of children and youth in the school surroundings in the control society and, finally, D. W. Winnicott s thought and his psychic maturing theory and its developments. It is still aimed to the property of this theory of the early subjective constitution and its developments, which allow to think the forms of insertion into the culture, to the different referrals of the discontent in the current school, understood as creative living disempowerment.
