Performance : réénonciation et réincarnation dans les genres de la performance

Cette contribution a pour objet la performance comme pratique esthétique. Selon Deborah A. Kapchan, il s’agit d’un processus qui transforme la réalité. Après une présentation historique du mouvement de la performance en anthropologie, elle explore la manière dont des oratrices performent des genres oraux habituellement associés aux hommes et les « réénoncent » (revoice) au féminin, créant ainsi de nouveaux espaces pour les femmes dans la sphère publique au Maroc.This article explores performance (as an aesthetic practice). Deborah A. Kapchan writes how performance is a process, one that transforms reality. She foregrounds her example by historicizing the study of performance in Anthropology, she explores the way women orators perform genres usually associated with men and “revoice” them into the feminine, thereby creating new spaces for women in the public sphere in Morocco

Women in the marketplace: Transitional economies and feminine discursive domains in Morocco

This study examines marketplace discourse and performance in Beni Mellal, Morocco, focusing on their relation to both new constructions of gender and social transformation. The intersection of the marketplace with feminine performance is a cross-roads, where the past meets the future, where tradition is recreated and the modern, al-\u27esri, is socially and personally incorporated. There is one theoretical trajectory that informs all of the essays in this manuscript: it is the tripartite notion that (1) the marketplace--both in its local itinerant form and in its international guise--is a forum for transition; (2) that transition relies on an intensification of social license; and (3) that in granting permission for the opening of social boundaries and categories, license, in turn, provides the conditions for the hybridization of social and expressive forms. This hybridization is traced in various contexts; among them, women\u27s marketplace oratory, the ritual life of the Moroccan bride, the words and behavior of female performers (shikhat), the discursive construction of the maid by middle-class women, and talk (al-hadra) about magic. In all of these contexts, the author pays close attention to how social change is effected by transgressive behavior and by what the author calls, revoicing, that is, the appropriation of authoritative discourse and its transformation from within. Throughout the book, the phenomena of linguistic and cultural hybridization are examined as they emerge in the expressive economies of women. Linguistically, hybridization is witnessed in the mixing of formally non-compatible genres and registers; in the moral economy, it manifests in the collision of the values of honor and reciprocity with those of the (inter)national marketplace and commodity culture; whereas in the gender economy, hybridization is exemplified in the redefinition of gender space and new formulations of social authority
