%0 Journal Article %T Mixit¨¦ et hybridit¨¦ ethniques et culturelles au Royaume-Uni : un d¨¦fi pour le multiculturalisme britannique %A Didier Lassalle %J M¨¦moire(s), Identit¨¦(s), Marginalit¨¦(s) dans le Monde Occidental Contemporain %D 2007 %I Universit¨¦ de Poitiers %X Le concept d¡¯hybridit¨¦/m¨¦tissage, n¨¦ au 19¨¨me si¨¨cle, a ¨¦t¨¦ r¨¦cup¨¦r¨¦, r¨¦habilit¨¦ et transform¨¦ par les penseurs britanniques de la postmodernit¨¦, tels que Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabba ou Paul Gilroy, dans les ann¨¦es 1980 et au d¨¦but des ann¨¦es 1990. En d¨¦pit de ses limites conceptuelles, le concept r¨¦actualis¨¦ a pris racine et a eu son heure de gloire, sous le vocable d¡¯hybridit¨¦ culturelle, lors de l¡¯arriv¨¦e au pouvoir du New Labour de Tony Blair. Il est aujourd¡¯hui combattu ¨¤ la fois par ceux qui s¡¯inqui¨¨tent de la possible dissolution / disparition des cultures minoritaires au sein d¡¯un vaste ensemble m¨¦tiss¨¦ ind¨¦finissable ainsi que par ceux qui refusent l¡¯abatardissement de la culture britannique v¨¦cue comme monolithique et immuable. Par contre, l¡¯hybridit¨¦ ethnique en constante progression au sein de certains groupes ethniques minoritaires (Antillais, Africains, Chinois) est, quant ¨¤ elle, promise ¨¤ un grand avenir, signe de la vigueur et de la progression in¨¦luctable du processus d¡¯assimilation/int¨¦gration. The concept of hybridity / mixed race emerged in the 19th century. In the 1980s and at the beginning of the 1990s, it was retrieved, rehabilitated and transformed by postmodern British thinkers such as Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabba and Paul Gilroy. In spite of its conceptual limitations, the new version of the concept has taken root and, under the term cultural hybridity, entered the mainstream with the advent of the New Labour government under Tony Blair. It is now contested both by those who fear for the possible dissolution or disappearance of minority culture in a vast global and indefinable mixed culture, and those who refuse the ¡®bastardisation¡¯ of British culture which is perceived by them as monolithic and unchanging. In contrast, within certain ethnic minority groups (Caribbean, African, Chinese) constantly evolving ethnic hybridity seems to demonstrate the strength and inevitability of the process of assimilation/integration. %K hybridit¨¦ %K int¨¦gration %K m¨¦tissage %K hybridit¨¦ ethnique %K hybridit¨¦ culturelle %K culture minoritaire %K groupe ethnique minoritaire %K assimilation %K statistiques ethniques %K Royaume-Uni %K XXe si¨¨cle %K XXIe si¨¨cle %U http://mimmoc.revues.org/291
