The Historian's Gaze and the Philosopher's Gaze

The Historian's Gaze and the Philosopher's Gaze

Abstract

Résumé Regard de l'historien et regard du philosophe. — Les autobiographies de Valentin Mudimbe et de Jan Vansina, publiées en 1994, sont porteuses de nombreuses ressemblances — les deux auteurs ont principalement travaillé au Zaïre et ont accompli une grande partie de leur carrière aux États-Unis — et également de nombreuses différences — l'un étant philosophe et l'autre historien. Vansina s'est surtout consacré à l'étude de l'histoire africaine dans la longue durée, telle qu'elle peut être reconstruite à partir de la tradition orale, et il a beaucoup fait pour substituer une histoire authentiquement africaine à la vieille histoire coloniale. Mudimbe, un ancien moine bénédictin, s'est principalement intéressé à la philosophie africaine en s'appuyant sur une gamme étendue d'écrits historiques et philosophiques de statuts et d'origines divers. Leurs travaux sont complémentaires et très éclairants mais ni Vansina ni Mudimbe n'ont réussi à saisir de façon concrète la vie des Africains, acteurs de cette histoire et de cette philosophie. .
