This volume is dedicated to the Anthropological and Ethnological section of the Natural History Museum. First the historical journey of the collections is traced from the antique nucleus of the Medici to the foundation of the National Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology, when Florence was the capitol of Italy, and the discipline of anthropology was born. The second part illustrates the multivariate collections from all over the globe. They are a precious record of the past and present biological and cultural diversity of our species opening wide horizons that rigorously connect science to the many faces of human culture, including art. The third section is dedicated to current research and opens new prospectives on the significance of ethnological and anthropological collections due to new technology and in light of a new appreciation of the museum as a living "zone of contact".

Connecté comme jamais, le monde contemporain est traversé d'inégalités et de violences productrices de hiérarchies, sources de maints troubles. Pour le comprendre, l'anthropologie se révèle précieuse. Elle se distingue en effet par sa capacité à faire varier les échelles d'observation. Elle donne à voir le monde pour saisir la fabrique du social, permet de traduire les formes d'expérience, sans y chercher une nécessaire nature, appréhende le réel sur un large fond de possibilités. Cinq grandes raisons illustrent, dans cet essai lumineux, une telle ambition analytique : la raison civile (rapports entre religions et société civile), la raison identitaire (jeux de la mémoire et de l'oubli dans la construction des identités), la raison sacrificielle (rapport à l'animal, réel ou mythique, et place du sacrifice dans le monde contemporain), la raison génocidaire (stigmatisation et exclusion de populations jusqu'aux violences les plus extrêmes) et, enfin, la raison anthropologique et son nécessaire « ethnocentrisme critique ». Cette dernière problématique est le point de convergence de toutes les autres. D'où le plaidoyer pour un universalisme critique, conscient de ses présupposés, qui s'assume jusque dans son incomplétude. Du voile islamique en Europe à la mémoire et aux commémorations, en passant par la crise de la « vache folle » et les mythes du cannibale, les théories « racialistes », les massacres de masse ou le nouvel « universalisme » américain depuis le 11 Septembre, l'anthropologie offre une approche unique pour qui veut comprendre la trame invisible du contemporain.
