Résumé

L’expérience humaine a un caractère symbolique. En focalisant l’attention sur le symbolisme de l’action humaine, cet essai porte sur les influences réciproques et sur les différences essentielles entre l’herméneutique de Paul Ricœur et l’anthropologie culturelle de Clifford Geertz. En se référant à l’œuvre de Ricœur L’idéologie et l’utopie, à la section “Idéologie, utopie, politique” dans Du texte à l’action, et au travail de Geertz publié en 1973 intitulé The Interpretation of Cultures, cet article vise à reconstruire le dialogue entre ces penseurs. En premier lieu, je présenterai le contexte général de la rencontre entre la pensée de Ricœur et celle de Geertz et, en second lieu, j’analyserai la notion de médiation symbolique de l’action, en reconnaissant en celle-ci le concept clé partagé par les auteurs. Ces réflexions nous conduiront à examiner la conception sémiotique de la culture et à ouvrir la discussion sur la dimension non-péjorative de l’idéologie.
