Raymond J. DeMallie, directeur de l’American Indian Studies Research Institute, Indiana University (Bloomington, USA), professeur invité à l’EHESS, donnera quatre séminaires à l’EHESS en novembre 2011.
This series of lectures, “Four Lakota Lives,” will use autobiographies recorded in Lakota, the native language of the Sioux Indians of the Great Plains, as a means of exploring the diversity of experiences of Native peoples in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using theoretical concepts from anthropology in combination with historical methods, the lectures will both exemplify the practice of ethnohistory and provide insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the Lakota as they underwent the difficult transition from nomadic buffalo hunters to sedentary reservation dwellers.
