Pour le numéro de mars-avril 2021 du magazine The Funambulist, nous tenions, comme beaucoup d’autres, à célébrer les 150 ans de la Commune de Paris. Il nous semblait néanmoins crucial d’extraire son histoire et son héritage des imaginaires des gauches blanches du Nord global et à les faire dialoguer avec des expériences communales du passé ou du présent de Martinique, de Syrie, de Chine, du Mexique, du Venezuela, de Tunisie, ou encore de Hong Kong. A cette approche résolument internationaliste, nous voulions ajouter une lecture intrinsèque aux quartiers populaires de l’Est et du Nord parisiens associant l’histoire de la Commune aux luttes de l’immigration et antiracistes de ces cinquante dernières années. C’est ainsi que j’ai proposé aux ami.e.s Mogniss H. Abdallah et Hajer Ben Boubaker de contribuer une nouvelle fois à nos projets éditoriaux en accomplissant ensemble deux marches sur les traces de ces histoires. Les deux enregistrements que ces marches ont produit peuvent être quelque peu déroutants, tant nous passons d’une époque à une autre au fil de nos conversations. Ce qui crée leur cohérence néanmoins est la progression spatiale que nous accomplissons, ainsi que l’excavation de différentes strates de la géologie politique de Paris à chaque endroit où nous nous arrêtons. Afin de vous y retrouver, nous vous proposons de suivre les cartes tracées pour l’occasion et incluses sur la page du podcast sur notre site ou bien en version anglophone dans le magazine. Très bonne écoute à toutes et à tous.
