Les Occidentaux ont toujours considéré qu'il était normal d'avoir peur de l'océan, de vouloir le dominer et d' exploiter inconsidérément ses ressources par le recours à la technique : navires, instruments de navigation, cartes. Nous avons longtemps cru qu'il n'existait pas d'autres rapports possibles à la mer et que notre approche matérialiste était universelle. Or, l'exploration du Pacifique va tout changer. Quand les premiers explorateurs occidentaux sont arrivés dans les îles du Pacifique, ils ne pouvaient pas comprendre comment les " natifs " s'étaient déplacés sur des milliers de kilomètres, d'îles en îles, sans aucune médiation technologique comparable aux leurs. L'espace objectif des cartes modernes ne correspondait pas à la perception spatiale qui était la leur. La distance n'était pas pour eux une donnée stable. D'où une " cartographie sensorielle " où les repères sont les bancs de poissons, les volées d'oiseaux, le bois flotté, les mouvements des vagues, le ciel, etc. Un groupement de requins, des poissons volants, des méduses, des marsouins, des oiseaux, la couleur de l'eau étaient autant d'indices qui permettaient de se situer. C'est cette perspective pacifique qu'Hélène Artaud nous fait découvrir. Cette rencontre a-t-elle provoqué chez les Occidentaux un tournant écologique ? Si la rencontre avec le Pacifique a pu changer la perception occidentale de l'océan au point d'en faire ce milieu intime, vulnérable et sensible, l'anthropologue interroge la profondeur de ce changement. Le " tournant " océanique des Modernes est peut-être moins l'annonce d'une rupture que l'indice d'une continuité...

The author argues that the appropriation of Western discourse - what she calls "Occidentalism" - can have a socially liberating effect in contemporary non-Western culture. Using China as a focus for analysis, she examines the cultural and political relations between East and West.

"In 1900, German legislators passed the Civil Code, a controversial law that designated women as second-class citizens in marriage, parental rights, and marital property. Despite the upheavals in early twentieth-century Germany--the fall of the German Empire after the First World War, the tumultuous Weimar Republic, and the destructive Third Reich--the Civil Code remained the law of the land. After Nazi Germany’s defeat in 1945 and the founding of East and West Germany, legislators in both states finally replaced the old law with new versions that expanded women’s rights in marriage and the family. Entangled Emancipation reveals how the complex relationship between the divided Germanys in the early Cold War catalysed but sometimes blocked efforts to reshape legal understandings of gender and the family after decades of inequality. Using methods drawn from gender history and discourse analysis, the book restores the history of the women’s movements in East and West Germany. Entangled Emancipation ultimately explores the parallel processes through which East and West Germany reimagined, negotiated, and created new civil laws governing women’s rights after the Second World War."--
