Abstract

Contemporary social science avoids the discussion of fear as a major element of social life and as a factor that shapes social order and the quality of life. The author wants to fill this lacuna. The fear of punishments for violating the laws imposed by the state and other social institutions, such as the family, public opinion, the church and others, are useful for the maintenance order in society. The author's views oppose the mainstream of American social science, which is hostile toward coercion and the state in general, and sees social order as based only on the allegiance of the individual to the dominant culture and self-regulation. Pointing to the flaws of these views, which are mostly based on the Lockean-Parsonian tradition, as well as on the postmodern perspective, the author proposes that the Hobbesian viewpoint be included in social analysis. He assumes that social order is shaped not only from & below,& but also from & above& with the state as a positive agent.

Abstract

Nous savons tous, intuitivement, que la peur joue un rôle dans la vie politique d'un pays. Et pas seulement lors d'événements exceptionnels comme les attentats du 11 septembre à New York. Mais, parce qu'il est humiliant d'avoir peur et de se l'avouer, nous en minimisons irrésistiblement l'influence, préférant nous réfugier derrière des explications plus " rationnelles " du comportement des gouvernants comme des citoyens. Le maître-livre de Corey Robin déchire ce voile d'ignorance. Dans une analyse à la fois brillante et provocante, très largement saluée lors de sa récente publication aux Etats-Unis, il montre en quoi la peur constitue un levier fondamental de pouvoir, même dans une démocratie libérale comme la nôtre. L'auteur conjugue ici une analyse historique de l'idée de peur (de Hobbes à Hanna Arendt en passant par Montesquieu et Tocqueville) avec une description concrète, menée sans complaisances, de la vie politique américaine actuelle. Il s'en dégage une démonstration particulièrement efficace qui déborde le cadre strictement américain pour s'appliquer à tout fonctionnement démocratique. Si cette thèse originale trouble certainement notre confort intellectuel, elle peut aussi nous dessiller politiquement les yeux pour des lendemains mieux libérés de la peur.

Abstract

While religious diversity is often considered a relatively recent phenomenon in America, the Cape Fear region of North Carolina has been a diverse community since the area was first settled. The Cape Fear River and the port city of Wilmington were more urban than the rest of the state; thus the region provided people with opportunities seldom found in other parts of North Carolina. These opportunities drew residents from many ethnic backgrounds, and the residents brought their religious traditions with them. In A Coat of Many Colors, Walter H. Conser Jr. explores how religious and racial di
