Aus sowjetischer Sicht

For decades, the West has dismissed Maoism as an outdated historical and political phenomenon. Since the 1980s, China seems to have abandoned the utopian turmoil of Mao's revolution in favour of authoritarian capitalism. But Mao and his ideas remain central to the People's Republic and the legitimacy of its Communist government. With disagreements and conflicts between China and the West on the rise, the need to understand the political legacy of Mao is urgent and growing.0The power and appeal of Maoism have extended far beyond China. Maoism was a crucial motor of the Cold War: it shaped the course of the Vietnam War (and the international youth rebellions that conflict triggered) and brought to power the murderous Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; it aided, and sometimes handed victory to, anti-colonial resistance movements in Africa; it inspired terrorism in Germany and Italy, and wars and insurgencies in Peru, India and Nepal, some of which are still with us today - more than forty years after the death of Mao.0In this new history, Julia Lovell re-evaluates Maoism as both a Chinese and an international force, linking its evolution in China with its global legacy. It is a story that takes us from the tea plantations of north India to the sierras of the Andes, from Paris's fifth arrondissement to the fields of Tanzania, from the rice paddies of Cambodia to the terraces of Brixton.0Starting with the birth of Mao's revolution in northwest China in the 1930s and concluding with its violent afterlives in South Asia and resurgence in the People's Republic today, this is a landmark history of global Maoism

If we look at the historical and social presuppositions of Foucault's methodology, we find out that Nietzsche's work cannot be the only root of the shift from archaeology to genealogy. In fact, a whole range of political activist practices after May '68 until the dissolution of the Groupe d'information sur les prisons (GIP) played an important role in inciting a politicization-in-motion that clearly left its traces in Foucault's thought and work.

Voici un texte écrit sur commande, mais peu longtemps fidèle aux termes de la commande qui m'avait été passée. Celle-ci consistait en un rapport sur le « maoïsme, ou le rendez-vous avec le Tiers Monde », à l'occasion d'un colloque tenu en octobre 1977 à la Maison des sciences de l'homme (Paris) sur le thème général : « Le léninisme : 1917-1977 »Dans ce rapport, j'essayais de défendre une thèse perçue alors comme paradoxale, mais que deux ans de démaoïsation ont, je l'espère, rendue banale, à savoir que le maoïsme ne s'identifiait pas à la révolution chinoise et qu 'il avait, en dépit des apparences, différé et même compromis le rendez-vous entre léninisme et Tiers Monde.

International audience ; The role of the Maoists in modern Nepal is problematic as society remains widely based on the Hindu monarchy. Such an issue may contribute in a significant way to the anthropological approach of revolutionary phenomena. In Nepal, the Maoists' discourse on religion reflects conceptions broadly divergent from the materialist philosophy they are supposed to communicate. The absence of any radical rejection of religion is particularly noticeable. The Nepalese Maoism considers that the present society is the product of a process of decadence. The revolution will bring it back to the golden age that preceded the appearance of monarchy and castes. In many ways, this philosophy concurs with the South-Asian religious fundamentalisms. Nepalese Maoism attempts to construct a coherent vision of the world which responds to the paradoxical preoccupations of present society, i.e. criticism of tradition and a search for national identity. ; La position des maoïstes népalais vis-à-vis d'une société encore largement organisée autour de sa monarchie hindoue pose des problèmes qui permettent d'enrichir l'approche anthropologique des phénomènes révolutionnaires. Les discours à l'égard de la religion témoignent notamment d'une vision du monde qui s'écarte très nettement de la philosophie matérialiste que le marxisme népalais est censé à priori véhiculer. L'absence de rejet radical de la religion est particulièrement notable. On tente de le justifier dans cet article en montrant que le maoïsme népalais, partant du principe d'une décadence de la société actuelle, propose un retour à un âge d'or antérieur à l'apparition de la monarchie et des castes. Rejoignant sur de nombreux points les thématiques des fondamentalistes religieux du sous-continent indien, il s'efforce de construire une représentation cohérente du monde qui réponde aux préoccupations paradoxales de la société népalaise contemporaine : la critique de la tradition doit ménager la réaffirmation de l'identité nationale.
