Résumé anglais |
It is not possible to confuse the notion of "territory" with that of "locale" for the simple reason that a territory is not only the place where identities are produced, but also that in which otherness is developed. It is not only the place where one "dwells," but also the place through which one moves. Thus, while territory is above all an anthropological notion, which cannot be simplified to the merely local, this is so because this notion makes it possible to think, in the same space of reflection, that which, from a certain point of view, might appear as incompatible: on the one hand, the land, the earth, the locality - that is to say, that which certain individuals now claim, as in ex- Yugoslavia, as the prerogative of the "natives" (but who are the natives?), and the unique vector of identiry; and on the other, the question of foreign-ness, of otherness, of the third party, of margins. If thus the real or mythical immigrant takes an active part in his own history, and in ours, in his own space and in ours, the only solution really possible is to take into account the otherness which exists within us all.
