    An ethnology of dialogue and sharing : Camille Lacoste-Dujardin

    Cahiers de Littérature Orale n°90

    The aim of this thematic issue is to pay tribute to Camille Lacoste-Dujardin (1921-2016), an eminent figure of French ethnology who dedicated her fifty-eight years scientific career to the study of the complexities of the Kabyle society and, beyond, to those of any human society. Indeed, even though her ethnological researches seem to have been “restricted to a people of mountain dwellers, its language and culture”, actually “they have never been limited neither in space, nor in time”, and “not even strictly confined to some single object of observation”; they have rather always involved “references to larger [sociocultural] wholes”.

    What is the human body worth?

    Le corps humain est le lieu privilégié de l’action du médecin. Qu’il soit sain ou plus encore malade, le corps est pris dans le dilemme impossible entre valeur marchande et valeur inestimable. Le coût de notre médecine accentue le risque de faire passer le souci de soi avant le souci de l’autre. À parler de « valeurs », ne risque-t-on pas de suggérer que la vie de l’homme actif, jeune et performant « vaudrait » plus que celle de celui qui est malade, âgé ou handicapé ? La question des « valeurs » est une question dangereuse, car la marchandisation n’est jamais loin, d’autant plus qu’aujourd’hui le corps humain tend à être compris comme un capital. Ne serait-il pas mieux que le corps reste « hors valeur » ? Car si la médecine a un coût, le corps, lui, n’a pas de prix puisque son sort est indissolublement lié à celui de la personne.
