Overview

"Les ethiques de l'hospitalite,du don et du care ont beaucoup gagneen importance dans les dernieres annees d'un cote et de l'autre del'Atlantique. Elles cherchent, chacune a leur maniere, a repondre a quelquesproblematiques ethico-politiques les plus pressantes de notre temps : la crisedes refugies, le don de temps et de soi dans une economie marchande, laprecarite, le travail de soin dit "" invisibilise "", etc. Ces trois ethiques puisent ausein de sources disciplinaires et theoriques differentes : si l'ethique del'hospitalite s'est beaucoup inspiree des travaux philosophiques d'EmmanuelLevinas et de Jacques Derrida, l'ethique du don a comme principale sourcel'analyse anthropologique de Marcel Mauss, alors que l'ethique du care s'est developpee dans la foulee destravaux de la psychologue americaine Carol Gilligan. Malgre ces pointsd'ancrage differents, ces ethiques partagent neanmoins plusieurs preoccupationset principes, notamment l'idee que toute theorisation du social et du politiquedevrait s'inscrire dans une ontologie relationnelle de l'etre humain et dans unpostulat de vulnerabilite. Il est donc surprenant de constater que si peu derecherches aient creuse la question des affinites entre ces trois paradigmes (al'exception notoire des ecrits d'Elena Pulcini, Philipe Chanial et Jacques Godbout). La visee principale de notreouvrage est de pallier cette insuffisance theorique et d'ouvrir un dialogueinterdisciplinaire plus explicite entre ces trois paradigmes ethiques, undialogue de surcroit en francais. L'autre visee sera de considerer l'actualitede chacune de ces ethiques, a partir d'enjeux contemporains importants. Ce livre est publie en francais. - The ethics of hospitality, gift and care have gainedmuch currency over the last few years on both sides of the Atlantic. They seek,each in their own way, to reflect on some of the most pressing contemporaryethico-political issues (e.g. the refugee crisis, unremunerated labor in amarket economy, precarity, invisibilized care work). The three ethics draw from different disciplinary andtheoretical sources. The ethics of hospitality were strongly influenced by thephilosophical work of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida; the principalsource for the ethics of the gift is the anthropological analysis of MarcelMauss; and the ethics of care have been developed in the wake of Americanpsychologist Carol Gilligan's work. Despite these different underpinnings, thethree ethics nonetheless share several concerns and principles, notably thenotion that any theory of the social and the political should be anchored in arelational ontology and in an anthropology of vulnerability. As such, it issurprising to observe that few researchers have explored the affinities betweenthese three paradigms (with the notable exceptions of Elena Pulcini, PhilipeChanial and Jacques Godbout). The main objective of the volume is to address thisscholarly gap and to initiate a more explicit interdisciplinary dialogue - inFrench - between these three ethical paradigms. Another goal is to consider thecurrency of each of these ethics for reflecting on important contemporaryissues. This book is published in French."
