Abstract
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-026X2012000200006Este artigo explora a ética da atual “Guerra ao Terrorismo”, perguntando se aantropologia, disciplina dedicada a entender a diferença cultural e a lidar com ela, pode nosfornecer apoio crítico para as justificações feitas sobre a intervenção no Afeganistão em termosde liberar ou salvar mulheres afegãs. Eu observo primeiramente os perigos da cultura dereificação, aparente nas tendências de afixar ícones culturais claros como as mulheresmuçulmanas sobre confusas dinâmicas históricas e políticas. Posteriormente, chamando atençãopara as ressonâncias entre discursos contemporâneos sobre igualdade, liberdade e direitoscom antigos discursos coloniais e retórica missionária sobre mulheres muçulmanas, euargumento que, em vez disso, nós precisamos desenvolver uma séria avaliação das diferençasentre as mulheres no mundo – como produtos de histórias diferentes, expressões de diferentescircunstâncias e manifestações de desejos distintamente estruturados. Além disso, eu argumentoque, em vez de buscar “salvar” outros (com a superioridade que isso implica e as violências queacarretaria), talvez fosse melhor pensarmos em termos de (1) trabalhar com elas nas situaçõesque reconhecemos como sempre sujeitas a transformações históricas e (2) considerar nossaspróprias e maiores responsabilidades para indicar as formas de injustiça global que sãopoderosas formadoras dos mundos nas quais elas se encontram. Eu desenvolvo muito dessesargumentos a respeito dos limites do “relativismo cultural” através de uma consideração daburca e dos vários significados dos véus no mundo muçulmano.
This article explores the ethics of the current “War on Terrorism”, asking whetheranthropology, the discipline devoted to understanding and dealing with cultural difference, canprovide us with critical purchase on the justifications made for American intervention in Afghanistanin terms of liberating, or saving, Afghan women. I look first at the dangers of reifying culture,apparent in the tendencies to plaster neat cultural icons like the Muslim woman over messyhistorical and political dynamics. Then, calling attention to the resonances of contemporary discourses on equality, freedom, and rights with earlier colonial and missionary rhetoric onMuslim women, I argue that we need to develop, instead, a serious appreciation of differencesamong women in the world – as products of different histories, expressions of differentcircumstances, and manifestations of differently structured desires. Further, I argue that ratherthan seeking to “save” others (with the superiority it implies and the violences it would entail) wemight better think in terms of (1) working with them in situations that we recognize as always subjectto historical transformation and (2) considering our own larger responsibilities to address theforms of global injustice that are powerful shapers of the worlds in which they find themselves. Idevelop many of these arguments about the limits of “cultural relativism” through a considerationof the burqa and the many meanings of veiling in the Muslim world.
