Jeux théâtraux, performances rituelles et fêtes urbaines, dans maintes villes d’Espagne et d’Italie du Sud, mobilisent, depuis le xviie siècle, l’histoire de l’affrontement entre « Maures et Chrétiens ». Loin d’être des épiphénomènes de type folklorique, ces manifestations, fortement soutenues par les pouvoirs locaux, impliquent tous les secteurs des sociétés concernées et dépassent le temps et l’espace qui leur est dévolu pour charpenter des discours et des pratiques sociales, des modes de gouvernance politique et de gestion du sacré.Deborah Puccio-Den nous livre ici les résultats de plus de dix ans d’enquêtes de terrain au pays valencien, en Andalousie, en Aragon et en Sicile, articulés dans une perspective comparatiste et conjuguant la méthode historique à la démarche anthropologique. Cette double approche fait émerger les multiples relations de sens établies par les acteurs entre les anciennes batailles opposant chrétiens et musulmans et les conflits plus récents qui ont ébranlé ces pays du Sud de l’Europe : la guerre civile espagnole et le combat entre la mafia sicilienne et le front de l’Antimafia. L’hypothèse explorée par cet ouvrage identifie dans ces théâtralisations de la guerre et de la conversion religieuses des opérateurs de pacification qui, tout en conférant les traits des ennemis d’antan – barbarie, idolâtrie, superstition – aux adversaires politiques du présent, ménagent les conditions symboliques et réelles de leur réintégration sociale. À travers cette réflexion, fondée sur une microanalyse des mécanismes de fabrication et de résorption de l’altérité intérieure, c’est la prégnance du lien entre politique et religieux au sein des sociétés démocratiques du monde occidental qui est mise au jour.

"The Mafia? What is the Mafia? Something you eat? Something you drink? I don't know the Mafia. I've never seen it." Mafiosi have often reacted this way to questions from journalists and law enforcement. Social scientists who study the Mafia usually try to pin down what it "really is," thus fusing their work with their object. In Mafiacraft, Deborah Puccio-Den undertakes a new form of ethnographic inquiry that focuses not on answering "What is the Mafia?" but on the ontological, moral, and political effects of posing the question itself. Her starting point is that Mafia is not a readily nameable social fact but a problem of thought produced by the absence of words. Puccio-Den approaches covert activities using a model of "Mafiacraft," which inverts the logic of witchcraft. If witchcraft revolves on the lethal power of speech, Mafiacraft depends on the deadly strength of silence. How do we write an ethnography of phenomena that cannot be named? Puccio-Den approaches this task with a fascinating anthropology of silence, breaking new ground for the study of the world's most famous criminal organization.
