humanitarisme global, religion, cosmologie, bien-être, onto-épistémologie, relationalitéRésumé
L’« humanitarisme global » est à la fois le complexe d’acteurs, d’organisations et d’institutions qui travaillent sur les questions de secours et d’aide au développement, et les cadres conceptuels, épistémologiques et cosmologico-religieux de connaissance et d’éthique dont ils émanent. Dans cet article, j’appelle à (re)centrer l’humanitarisme mondial en Afrique. En m’appuyant sur le travail des chercheurs africains, je soutiens qu’un tel recentrage est crucial pour apprendre, à partir des structures de connaissance et des relations religieuses et cosmologiques africaines, comment mettre en avant les questions de globalité ontologique, de manière à reconfigurer les prétendus objectifs humanitaires. Un tel centrage poursuit également des objectifs matériels et de représentation, c’est-à-dire qu’il permet d’enrayer les échecs de la domination actuelle des programmes, régis par les évaluations néolibérales chiffrées de prétendues « réussites », et de renverser les hiérarchies racialisées de représentation des organisations et acteurs tant africains que non africains.
