Serge Moscovici in his life. A central marginality

Undoubtedly, an ethical turn took place in the human and social sciences across the 1970s and 1980s. In the field of psychology and ethnology, and more particularly in the wake of Serge Moscovici’s and Robert Jaulin’s works, who occupied a central marginality within Academia, the approach to our relationship with politics and with nature was reshaped. A new order of critique was established that was to upend the way we understand the world and its problems. At the same time, as identity and civilizations were increasingly perceived as critical issues, colonialism started to being questioned and the issue of nature became central.
