Ethiques de l'hospitalite, du don et du care: Actualite, regards croises

Les ethiques de l'hospitalite, du don et du care ont beaucoup gagne en importance dans les dernieres annees d'un cote et de l'autre de l'Atlantique. Elles cherchent, chacune a leur maniere, a repondre a quelques problematiques ethico-politiques les plus pressantes de notre temps : la crise des refugies, le don de temps et de soi dans une economie marchande, la precarite, le travail de soin dit
invisibilise , etc.

Ces trois ethiques puisent au sein de sources disciplinaires et theoriques differentes : si l'ethique de l'hospitalite s'est beaucoup inspiree des travaux philosophiques d'Emmanuel Levinas et de Jacques Derrida, l'ethique du don a comme principale source l'analyse anthropologique de Marcel Mauss, alors que l'ethique du care s'est developpee dans la foulee des travaux de la psychologue americaine Carol Gilligan. Malgre ces points d'ancrage differents, ces ethiques partagent neanmoins plusieurs preoccupations et principes, notamment l'idee que toute theorisation du social et du politique devrait s'inscrire dans une ontologie relationnelle de l'etre humain et dans un postulat de vulnerabilite. Il est donc surprenant de constater que si peu de recherches aient creuse la question des affinites entre ces trois paradigmes (a l'exception notoire des ecrits d'Elena Pulcini, Philipe Chanial et Jacques Godbout).

La visee principale de notre ouvrage est de pallier cette insuffisance theorique et d'ouvrir un dialogue interdisciplinaire plus explicite entre ces trois paradigmes ethiques, un dialogue de surcroit en francais. L'autre visee sera de considerer l'actualite de chacune de ces ethiques, a partir d'enjeux contemporains importants.

Ce livre est publie en francais.

The ethics of hospitality, gift and care have gained much 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 contemporary ethico-political issues (e.g. the refugee crisis, unremunerated labor in a market economy, precarity, invisibilized care work).

The three ethics draw from different disciplinary and theoretical sources. The ethics of hospitality were strongly influenced by the philosophical work of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida; the principal source for the ethics of the gift is the anthropological analysis of Marcel Mauss; and the ethics of care have been developed in the wake of American psychologist Carol Gilligan’s work. Despite these different underpinnings, the three ethics nonetheless share several concerns and principles, notably the notion that any theory of the social and the political should be anchored in a relational ontology and in an anthropology of vulnerability. As such, it is surprising to observe that few researchers have explored the affinities between these three paradigms (with the notable exceptions of Elena Pulcini, Philipe Chanial and Jacques Godbout).

The main objective of the volume is to address this scholarly gap and to initiate a more explicit interdisciplinary dialogue - in French - between these three ethical paradigms. Another goal is to consider the currency of each of these ethics for reflecting on important contemporary issues.

This book is published in French.
