Éléments pour une anthropologie de l’homme en mouvement by Muriel van Vliet

“…En deçà du linguistic turn, qui réduit abusivement le langage à ses seules dimensions représentative et discursive et court ainsi le risque de tomber dans l’écueil de l’« intellectualisme », et au-delà de l’iconic turn, qui, par réaction, déconstruit tellement le sujet créateur et acteur que le domaine de l’éthique s’en trouve dangereusement ébranlé, avec la menace de sombrer cette fois-ci dans l’écueil de « l’esthétisme », l’anthropologie de l’homme en mouvement proposée conjointement par Cassirer et Warburg ouvre la possibilité d’une troisième voie pour le discours sur l’art, replacé dans le cadre d’une théorie de la culture plus globale d’où une nouvelle conception du sujet peut émerger. Sur le modèle des enquêtes ethnologiques centrées davantage sur le rituel que sur le mythe écrit, tous deux perçoivent originairement l’image comme l’expression (Ausdruck) polarisée d’affects opposés, et cela avant même de l’envisager aussi comme la présentation (Darstellung) de valeurs, motifs ou idées que l’artiste comme le spectateur peuvent davantage mettre à distance d’eux que ne l’autorise le niveau expressif pur du rituel magique. …”

Le corps féminin à Casablanca : un reflet mouvant des rôles de genre ? by Leila Bouasria, Nezha Aidi

It must be shaped and adapted to individual and collective requirements.Furthermore, difficulties in accessing the matrimonial market, prolonged celibacy, and the proliferation of intra- or extramarital intimate experiences, redefine the nature, formation, and expectations of couples, which are no longer solely focused on reproduction. …”
