The deep structure of symbolism in religious and ritual activities has hitherto mostly been studied from perspectives deriving from classical and contemporary Western thought, which values symmetry, non-contradiction, equality of terms and the rationality of linear discourse and classification systems have therefore come to be defined in binary terms (right/left, male/female, black/white). In this book, Serge Tcherkezoff presents a new perspective on the study of ritual classification. On the basis of a detailed ethnography of the rituals of the Nyamwezi of Tanzania, Tcherkezoff argues for an analysis which recognised contradictions and asymmetry within ritual systems. Following Dumont, he shows that societies are characterised by a hierarchal structure of values, in which each individual element has a meaning only through its position within the whole, thereby replacing the rigid classical structuralist dichotomy with a rich multidimensional approach.

Critique et constructif à la fois, l'ouvrage critique le traitement classique des classifications dualistes (droite/gauche, masculin/féminin, noir/blanc, pur/impur...) et présente une perspective nouvelle à partir d'un exemple ethnographique africain très développé emprunté aux Nyamwezi et d'une reconsidération de cas classiques (africains, chinois, nord-américains). Dans l'essai de Robert Hertz au début de ce siècle, et de façon plus rigide encore de nos jours chez Rodney Needham et ses associés, le système classificatoire d'une société, si éloignée soit-elle du type moderne, est vu dans des catégories logiques qui relèvent de la pensée classique et moderne : non-contradiction, égalité des termes, rationalité du discours linéaire. On n'aboutit ainsi à des listes dichotomiques qu'arbitrairement et moyennant de nombreuses contradictions. A cette logique atomique Serge Tcherkézoff oppose une logique du tout, une logique hiérarchique qui, d'une part, privilégie le système idéologique et rituel global, de l'autre, se caractérise par la distinction de niveaux de représentation et d'expérience dont la gradation tolère et même prescrit la contrariété. A une plate dichotomie est ainsi substituée une figure multidimensionnelle, épaisse, vivante, dont l'unité est en même temps vigoureusement affirmée.

Blackness and Value investigates the principles by which 'value' operates, and asks if it is useful to imagine that the concepts of racial blackness and whiteness in the United States operate in terms of these principles. Testing these concepts by exploring various theoretical approaches and their shortcomings, Lindon Barrett finds that the gulf between 'the street' (where race is acknowledged as a powerful enigma) and the literary academy (where until recently it has not been) can be understood as a symptom of racial violence. The book traces several interrelations between value and race, such as literate/illiterate, the signing/singing voice, time/space, civic/criminal, and academy/street, and offers relevant and fresh readings of two novels by Ann Petry. While approaches to race and value are commonly examined historically or sociologically, this intriguing study provides a new critical approach that speaks to theorists of race as well as gender and queer studies.
