The grand exhibitions of the Victorian and Edwardian eras are the lens through which Peter Hoffenberg examines the economic, cultural, and social forces that helped define Britain and the British Empire. He focuses on major exhibitions in England, Australia, and India between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Festival of Empire sixty years later, taking special interest in the interactive nature of the exhibition experience, the long-term consequences for the participants and host societies, and the ways in which such popular gatherings revealed dissent as well as celebration.

Deco dandy contests the supposedly exclusive feminine aspect of the style moderne (art deco) by exploring how alternative, parallel and overlapping experiences of decorative modernism, nationalism, gender and sexuality in the years surrounding World War I converge in the protean figure of the 'deco dandy'. The book suggests a broader view of art deco by claiming a greater place for the male body, masculinity and the dandy in this history than has been given to date.

À travers deux expositions universelles, celle de 1889 et celle de 1900, au cours desquelles les visiteurs ont « engouffré une masse gargantuesque de victuailles », ce travail s’attache à suivre dans des « lieux vivants », le marché de la restauration, les consommateurs en mouvement, les pratiques plus populaires comme les pique‐niques sur les pelouses ou les usages mondains dans des restaurants gastronomiques. Si l’historiographie des expositions est bien fournie et que les travaux sur l’alimentation ne manquent pas, personne n’avait encore songé à croiser ces deux traditions. Sous l’angle de la consommation alimentaire, une activité qui répond à un besoin physiologique mais qui est aussi porteuse de nombreuses significations culturelles et sociales, le livre avance l’idée qu’au delà de leur dimension symbolique et de leurs stratégies représentationnelles, les expositions universelles doivent être avant tout appréhendées en tant qu’espaces vivants qui impliquent une gestion biopolitique de la part des organisateurs, une économie affective dans la pratique du marché de la restauration et une expérience corporelle des lieux pour les visiteurs. Alors que les travaux actuels sur les méga‐événements tendent à proposer soit une analyse de leurs retombées économiques, soit un regard critique qui déconstruit la construction de discours et d’identités, il apparaît plus pertinent de se pencher sur l’épaisseur temporelle de l’événement et sur l’épaisseur anthropologique d’une telle manifestation autour de l’alimentation.

"When the Reverend Henry Carmichael opened the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts in 1833, he introduced a bold directive: for Australia to advance on the scale of nations, it needed to develop a science of its own. Prominent scientists in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria answered this call by participating in popular exhibitions far and near, from London's Crystal Place in 1851 to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane during the final decades of the nineteenth century"--

International expositions or "world's fairs" are the largest and most important stage on which millions routinely gather to directly experience, express, and respond to cultural difference. Rather than looking at Asian representation at the hands of colonizing powers, something already much examined, Asian Self-Representation at World's Fairs instead focuses on expressions of an empowered Asian self-representation at world's fairs in the West after the so-called golden age of the exhibition. New modes of representation became possible as the older "exhibitionary order" of earlier fairs gave way to a dominant "performative order," one increasingly preoccupied with generating experience and affect. Using case studies of national representation at selected fairs over the hundred-year period from 1915-2015, this book considers both the politics of representation as well as what happens within the imaginative worlds of Asian country pavilions, where the performative has become the dominant mode for imprinting directly on human bodies.
