Episode 156: Comment disséminer les leçons algériennes ? Nils Anderson et la naissance du "Tiers-mondisme" 1957-1969 Dans ce podcast, Pr. Todd Shepard, historien à l'Université Johns Hopkins présente une conférence intitulée : Comment disséminer les leçons algériennes ? Nils Anderson et la naissance du ‘ Tiers-mondisme' 1957-1969. À l'époque de la décolonisation, un nouveau type de maison d'édition a vu le jour dans plusieurs pays d'Europe occidentale, qui a introduit dans le débat public des vérités coloniales autrement réduites au silence. Une lutte anticoloniale en particulier a catalysé la tendance générale : la révolution algérienne. Le plus intrigant des nouveaux éditeurs européens nés de la lutte algérienne est La Cité, qui est le fruit des efforts de Nils Andersson. L'opération d'Andersson a vite adopté une position qui était politique plutôt que seulement morale : pas simplement « contre la torture » mais un alignement clair sur la lutte de libération du FLN. Cette conférence explore comment ces efforts ont donné lieu à de nouveaux moyens de distribuer la pensée critique. Todd Shepard est professeur d'histoire à Arthur O. Lovejoy et co-directeur du programme d'étude des femmes, du genre et de la sexualité à Johns Hopkins Université. Sa recherche explore la France et l'Empire français du XXe siècle, en mettant l'accent sur la façon dont l'impérialisme se croise avec les histoires de l'identité nationale, des institutions d'état, de la race et de la sexualité. Son premier livre, The Invention of Decolonization: The Algerian War and the Remaking of France (2006) a remporté plusieurs prix ; une traduction française révisée et mise à jour est parue sous le titre : 1962, Comment l'indépendance algérienne a transformé la France (2008). Sa deuxième monographie, Mâle décolonisation. L'«homme arabe» et la France, de l'indépendance algérienne à la révolution iranienne  (2017) est paru en anglais sous le titre de Sex, France, and Arab Men, 1962-1979. Il est l'auteur de Voices of Decolonization: A Brief History with Documents (2014) et de nombreux articles ainsi qu'en tant que co-éditeur de Guerre d'Algérie.

“Dehumanisation both justifies and motivates acts of extraordinary violence - but it is not in any sense an innate disposition”Here lies the terrifying quandary: if humans are the most social of all primates and mammals, if our sociality and capacity for collaboration is at the very heart of our success as a species, how are we able to engage in such acts of hideous violence towards each other?“Dehumanisation is a psychological response to political forces”David Livingstone Smith explains how two key ideas underpin the psychology of Dehumanisation: Psychological Essentialism and Hierarchical Thinking, false heuristics that are nevertheless deeply embedded in all of us.But he goes further. To understand the depths of cruelty and humiliation, the ritualistic violence, the near-religious ecstasy of moral purpose that often comes with genocide and torture, we need to understand the mind of the Perpetrator.To the perpetrator, their victim is both human and non-human, vermin and all-powerful. More than any physical danger, the victim represents a metaphysical cognitive threat - and becomes a monster to be exterminated.“When we say ‘we must put them in their place', it's a deep idea: we want to put ‘them' in their metaphysical place”Listen to David explain:The metaphysical threat of the ‘other'The Uncanny - and its threat to our sense of purity and orderDehumanisation as psychosisWhy cruelty and humiliation are such intrinsic elements of dehumanisationWhat we can do to fix it.“We are disposed to have difficulty harming one another, and yet…”Works cited include:Arthur O.
