Round Tables > AnthropologyANTHROPOLOGY OF PREDATION LOGICS IN THE AMERICAS Friday, September 24th, 2:45pm-4:45pm Centre de Colloques, room 1 Organization : Adèle Blazquez (CEMS – EHESS), Martin Lamotte (CITERES – CNRS) Speakers : Philippe Bourgois (UCLA), Doris Buu Sao (CERI – Sciences Po Paris) Laurence Charlier (LISST – Université Jean Jaurès), Thomas Grillot (CENA – CNRS) Presentation : A concept used by the anthropology of the Amazonian worlds (Viveiros de Casto 1998, Fausto 1999, Descola 1993, Karadiimas 1999), predation as a social relation of exchange today is used to describe social exploitation relations in late capitalism. Whether it be to describe the socio-economic situation of the USA’s ghettos (Bourgois 2019) or of the war on drugs in Guatemala (O’Neil 2019), predation as an exchange remains at the heart of social life (Lévi-Strauss 1943). This round table aims at putting at work this concept and discuss its heuristic scope in the different American contexts where it is used. By replacing it in a more general analysis of the dynamic of anthropological transfers, we will endeavor to draw the contours of a definition as well as understand the sociological meaning at work in the logics of predation.
