About this ebook:
"En 1685, le Code noir défendait « aux esclaves de porter aucunes armes offensives ni de gros bâtons » sous peine de fouet. Au XIXe siècle, en Algérie, l’État colonial interdisait les armes aux indigènes, tout en accordant aux colons le droit de s’armer. Aujourd’hui, certaines vies comptent si peu que l’on peut tirer dans le dos d’un adolescent Noir au prétexte qu’il était « menaçant ».Une ligne de partage oppose historiquement les corps « dignes d’être défendus » à ceux qui, désarmés ou rendus indéfendables, sont laissés sans défense. Ce « désarmement » organisé des subalternes pose directement, pour tout élan de libération, la question du recours à la violence pour sa propre défense.Des résistances esclaves au jiu-jitsu des suffragistes, de l’insurrection du ghetto de Varsovie aux Black Panthers ou aux patrouilles queer, Elsa Dorlin retrace une généalogie de l’autodéfense politique. Sous l’histoire officielle de la légitime défense affleurent des « éthiques martiales de soi », pratiques ensevelies où le fait de se défendre en attaquant apparaît comme la condition de possibilité de sa survie comme de son devenir politique.Cette histoire de la violence éclaire la définition même de la subjectivité moderne, telle qu’elle est pensée dans et par les politiques de sécurité contemporaines, et implique une relecture critique de la philosophie politique, où Hobbes et Locke côtoient Franz Fanon, Michel Foucault, Malcolm X, Audre Lorde ou Judith Butler."
