Lo "Stato" e il "politico" nell'evoluzione del pensiero di Pierre Clastres: una lettura politologica. (Italian)

According to anthropologist Pierre Clastres, State and politics have always been seized, in Western culture, as two necessarily connected concepts - State is a political entity, there is no politics without the State. His studies try to deconstruct this paradigm by considering primitive societies as societies without and against the State. This paper examines Clastres' texts seeking to contextualise his thought within frameworks of legal and political sciences, demonstrating so that political anthropology and political sciences have strong epistemological links.

Per l'antropologo Pierre Clastres, i concetti di "Stato" e di "politico" sono sempre stati colti, nel mondo occidentale, come due elementi interdipendenti: lo Stato è politico, non c'è politica senza Stato. I suoi studi etno-antropologici tentano di ribaltare questa visione, concettualizzando le società primitive come "senza" e "contro lo Stato". Il presente testo esamina i testi di Clastres cercando di inserire le sue riflessioni all'interno di paradigmi giuridici e politologici consolidati e di dimostrare come l'antropologia politica e le scienze politiche possano mettersi in comunicazione.
