Abstract
Since the early 2000s, we have witnessed a new fascination with hope, both within the social sciences and anthropology, and in civil society and the political struggle. Associated with the idea of possibility, utopia and opening onto the future, hope has been proposed by a number of thinkers as a response to the growing uncertainty of our times. Under these conditions, hope becomes a call to aspire outside the ideological frameworks of the moment. In ethnographic works, this capacity to aspire to a different future is documented along axes of interrelated motivations, most notably a sense of impending crisis, commitment, activism or resistance, and a reflexive, historical and positioned subjectivity.
