Biomaîtriser les identités ? État documentaire et citoyenneté au tournant biométrique

Abstract: Biomaîtriser les identités ? 6 une circulation impériale entre l'Inde, l'Afrique du Sud et le Royaume-Uni, pour se diffuser ensuite dans l'hémisphère Nord 3 .Aujourd'hui comme hier, la biométrisation des identités a pour motif principal le contrôle des mobilités des individus, soumises à des régimes de surveillance militaro-policière de plus en plus drastiques et mortifères. L'obsession terroriste et celle des politiques anti-migratoires en constituent aujourd'hui la principale logique. Mais la biométrie se pa… Show more

“…Perrot et al (2016) point out how a fine-grained analysis of the materiality of voting challenges the disciplinary, socialization, and social appropriation aspects of elections. This work echoes the tradition of the French sociological history of politics (Garrigou, 2002) and the anthropology of democracy (Coles, 2004), and also connects to the strand of research on the African biometric state (Awenengo Dalberto et al, 2018; Breckenridge, 2014).…”

“…It is reasonable to consider that WAPIS and MIDAS will – as UNHCR’s BIMS registration system currently does – provide the state, as well as those and other actors, with up-to-date, though partial, information. WAPIS and MIDAS will not participate in substituting the bureaucratic and documentary state with a biometric one; instead, they produce piecemeal legibility and participate in a ‘panopticon in leopard skin’ (Awenengo Dalberto et al, 2018: 28) by adding a layer of knowledge.…”

“…AFIS technology has been introduced in Niger, alongside WAPIS, to facilitate individual identification in order to counter criminality, since the latter was ‘only nominal and its use by law enforcement services in Africa is hampered by factors such as people having the same name, identity fraud, and generally weak civil registry and identity systems’ (European Commission, 2016: 3). Africa is particularly concerned with the identity gap: the coverage of the civil state remains weak, with 50% of Africans being without documents (Awenengo Dalberto et al, 2018). In Niger, in 2003, a law was passed for digital national identity cards, but the cost of 2000 CFAF (around 3 euros) for the issuance of these cards has proven to be too expensive.…”

“…As Awenengo Dalberto et al . (2018) note, identification documents have a social life of their own, relating intimately to practices of citizenship and the production of ‘truths’, while constantly competing with alternative credentials, such as identification documents issued by non-state organisations. State identification systems become meaningful only in the interplay with the subjectivities they produce (e.g.…”
