Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the tensions between the French republican and enlightenment principles and values, such as “equal dignity”, “Cartesian reason” and “universalism”, with other political and moral grammars, such as “schism”, “inquisitoriality” and the “moral substance characteristic of worthy people”, more common and explicit in the Brazilian interactional and institutional universe. Through a comparative and ethnographic approach, the article seeks to reflect on how the theoretical, analytical and ethnographic subsidies coming from anthropology made in Brazil can contribute to understand the splits and fissures experienced by French society in recent years.
