Abstract

Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in the north-eastern borderlands of Bangladesh, this book focuses on the everyday struggles of indigenous farmers threatened with losing their land due to such state programmes as the realignment of the national border, ecotourism, social forestry and the establishment of a military cantonment. In implementing these programmes, state actors challenge farmers’ right to land, instituting spaces of violence in which multiple forms of marginalisation overlap and are reinforced. Mapping how farmers react to these challenges emotionally and practically, the book argues that these land conflicts serve as a starting point for existentially charged disputes in which the survival efforts of farmers clash with the political imaginations and practices of the nation-state. The analysis shows that losing land represents more than being deprived of a material asset: it is nothing less than the extinction of ways of life.

Abstract

Peu de temps avant sa mort, Sartre faisait paraître dans Le Nouvel Observateur une série d'entretiens avec Benny Lévy («L'espoir maintenant») qui scandalisèrent tant par leur contenu que par leur ton.Dix ans plus tard, le moment vint de les donner vraiment à lire. Benny Lévy en proposa alors un nouvel usage.Dans ce texte «ascétique», grâce à un exceptionnel mouvement de dépouillement, Sartre tente de repenser le commencement : ne faudrait-il pas déceler dès l'origine, dans le projet propre à la conscience, une tension...
