A.L. Bishop, cité dans l’introduction) ; « Ta propre mère/ Ta propre sœur/ Tes propres porcs/ Tes propres ignames que tu as empilés/ Tu ne peux les manger/ Les mères des autres/ Les sœurs des autres/ Les porcs des autres/ Les ignames des autres qu’ils ont empilés/ Tu peux les manger (Aphorismes arapesh cités par M. Mead, cité par Lévi-Strauss au début de la première partie). Même si Lévi-Strauss amendera ses premières comme on le dit souvent, ni même à un principe analyses anthropologiques au fil de sa carrière, ce kantien qui réserverait au seul humain le fait d’être qu’il rapporte dans son premier ouvrage reste considéré comme « fin », qu’à une prise de important pour entreprendre une discussion sur les connaissance que certaines sociétés humaines rapports des humains aux non-humains, des humains pratiquent des manières d’être entre les humains et au monde vivant et non vivant, sans oublier les des manières d’entrer en relation avec le monde non rapports des humains entre eux.

  • Surveillance Numérique*
    Surveillance numérique* Félix Tréguer** février 2021 En ce mois de décembre 2016, les arguments fusent au sein du groupe de travail « Défense et sécurité » constitué autour d’Emmanuel Macron, candidat déclaré à la présidence de la République. Depuis quelques semai- nes, par messages interposés1, la petite équipe réfléchit à la réponse qu’il convient d’opposer au programme « sécurité » de François Fillon. Le concu- rrent de droite a émis le vœu d’imposer une carte d’identité biométrique aux Français ? Qu’à cela ne tienne ! Les conseillers du candidat Macron envi- sagent de reprendre la proposition, à l’image de François Heisbourg, expert en géopolitique et jadis directeur de Thomson CSF (devenu le géant de la défense Thales), ou encore de la commissaire Marianne Tarpin, hiérarque de la Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure (DGSI). Dans les échanges, les protagonistes insistent sur la nécessité de lutter contre la fraude à l’identité, en évoquant notamment les terroristes venus de Syrie ayant librement pu circuler à travers l’Europe à l’aide de faux-papiers, et on convient de creuser la question. Anne Bouverot, alors présidente-directrice générale de Morpho (depuis devenu Idemia), le leader français de l’identité biométrique, a récemment été cooptée par le petit groupe de conseillers. Dans une note qu’elle soumet à la réflexion collective, elle commence par souligner le coût de la carte d’identité biométrique – 2 euros l’unité, soit 140 millions d’euros environ pour l’ensemble de la population française – et invite à la faire directement payer par les citoyens. Le déploiement de cette carte permettra selon elle « une baisse de la fraude et des coûts associés », « une plus grande sécurité et [une] meilleure lutte contre le terrorisme ».
