By Jeanne Favret-Saada
Dans Les Mots, l. a. mort, les kinds, Jeanne Favret-Saada, ethnologue de tradition psychanalytique, enquête sur les sorciers et les jeteurs de variety du bocage mayennais. L’idée du sortilège s’impose quand le malheur se répète : vache qui meurt, fausse couche, soreness qui ne lève pas… Aucune interprétation raisonnable ne peut alors prétendre résoudre l’énigme de l. a. série qui n’appelle qu’une seule question : qui a jeté le sort ? Les vecteurs des sortilèges sont les mots. los angeles parole maléfique doit être renvoyée à l’expéditeur pour qu’il en meure.
L’ouvrage est composé de récits et de schémas exposant les relatives imaginaires qui relient les protagonistes des drames relatés. Jeanne Favret-Saada, pour explorer cet univers où rien ne se voit et où tout se laisse entendre, a dû abandonner l. a. place d’observateur idéal de l’ethnologue classique et s’engager corps et âme dans le groupe, se laissant envoûter par l’efficacité des mots qui ensorcellent. L’ethnologie, un paintings de se laisser posséder par l’autre ? —Emilio Balturi
