“…The emergence of sedentism during the Neolithic lends itself particularly well to such questions, for it crystallizes both ends of the issue. When we see the Neolithic as a great revolution in the history of humankind, it becomes the natural receptacle of our totalizing misconceptions (Finlayson and Warren 2010;Hadad 2020); we are legitimizing them by reenforcing their pretension to universality. But at the same time, the archaeology of the Neolithic now provides us with an opportunity to understand, empirically, how humans constitute new territories in the long run.…”

Revivals of public interest in the Neolithic Near East have generally coincided with the emergence of powerful imagery, such as the discovery of Çatalhöyük’s striking wall paintings in the 1960s. Now, sixty years later, the sculptures of Göbekli Tepe are ensuring the period’s widespread appeal. The capacity of these well-preserved buildings to carry such imagery until today has made them, in turn, an image of the supposed achievements of Neolithic sedentism. But the popularity of these images depends on their decontextualization. This modernist notion that permanent architecture represents the conquest of spatial forms over time is in contradiction with the early Neolithic experience of settled life, which had more to do with the unstable duration of places than with an emancipation from motion. This essay explores the Neolithic preference for earth architecture over more stable construction materials such as stone, its influence on visual culture, and how it contributed to building new living relations to the inhabited landscape. Instead of the sense of fixity and completeness that we, moderns, desperately seek in plans, reconstructions, and monumentality, it is the very transience, repetitiveness, and cumulativeness of earth that determined the transformations of the archaeological record. In other words, rhythms are key to understanding Neolithic sedentism in ways that differ wildly from the static images we have substituted for it.

“…Finally, and this is perhaps the point that sheds the brightest light on the difficulties to which the criterion proposed by A. Testart leads, some societies, in one way or another, challenge his classification. Apart from various Siberian cases, whose interpretation and scope have recently fuelled an abundant debate (Stépanoff 2018;Guy 2020;Hadad 2020;Darmangeat 2018a;2020b), the most striking example is probably that of the Tareumiut, the Inuit of northern Alaska. Among this people, rich individuals, the umialit, were dominant in social life.…”

“…Any society in which there are dominations stemming from wealth is certainly a wealth society -but this assertion is obviously nothing more than a tautology. The problem is that, in the opposite direction, we can observe societies where certain social occasions give rise to payments in goods, but which have multiplied the mechanisms preventing these customs from provoking a differentiation between individuals and the emergence, on this basis, of relations of domination and power: one can think, in particular, of the Pueblo Indians and, perhaps, of those of the eastern coast of North America to which Rémi Hadad refers (Hadad 2020). Finally, I ended up with a symmetrical error to that of A. Testart: where his definition excludes from the world of wealth those societies without bride price and wergild, but where socio-economic inequalities prevail, mine excluded those that had bride price and wergild, while remaining devoid of significant socio-economic inequalities.…”

The Quest for Wealth. A formal criterion for the classification of human societies

In the perspective of forging a general classification of human societies, and contrary to the classical approach that favours political criteria, the French anthropologist Alain Testart focused on the emergence of wealth. This, according to him, was characterised by the presence of matrimonial (bride price) and judicial (wergeld) payments. Such a solution, however, appears too restrictive and leads to certain insoluble contradictions. By taking up the path opened by this scholar, while correcting his few errors, this article proposes an alternative definition of wealth, which offers an irreplaceable tool for a classification of societies. Wealth refers to a specific subset of property rights, which relate to objects other than human beings. Two forms of wealth must then be distinguished, depending on whether these rights are convertible into rights of the same type, or into other elements of the social system.

Addictive behaviours invite us as clinicians and researchers to focus at all times on the subject hidden behind the addictive object, particularly during the process of subjectivation embodied by adolescence. This article is the fruit of international comparative research to explore the prism of personalities of adolescents and young adults with addictions living in France, Switzerland, and Quebec. This study involved 94 participants, aged between 14 and 32. They were divided into a clinical group (54 subjects) and a control group (40 subjects). The methodology consisted of two complementary instruments: the MMPI-A personality test and the CaMIR attachment self-report questionnaire. The results highlighted personality traits common to all three countries: depression, psychopathic deviance, anxiety, social discomfort, social alienation, and physical complaints. They also showed the predominance in all addicts of insecure attachment (detached rather than preoccupied). There were also variations between countries. The Swiss and French young people share a particularly low level of hypomania and a high level of social introversion, whereas the Quebec data showed paranoia as a distinctive trait. The results will be discussed from an institutional perspective in particular, taking into account the treatment practices available to young addicts in the three countries in our study.
