Abstract

Les « zoos humains », symboles oubliés de l'histoire contemporaine, ont été totalement refoulés de notre mémoire collective. Ces exhibitions des « sauvages », aussi bien des « exotiques » que des « monstres », ont pourtant été, en Europe, aux États-Unis et au Japon, une étape majeure du passage progressif d'un racisme scientifique à un racisme populaire. Au carrefour du discours savant, des cultures de masse et de l'intérêt des puissances coloniales, ces exhibitions ont touché un peu moins d'un milliard et demi de visiteurs depuis l'exhibition en Europe de la Vénus hottentote, au début du XIXe siècle. Ces exhibitions, peuplées d'êtres difformes et de personnes en provenance des espaces coloniaux d'Afrique, d'Amérique, d'Océanie ou d'Asie, comme appartenant à un univers de l'anormalité, disparaîtront progressivement avec les années 1930, mais elles avaient fait alors leur oeuvre : bâtir deux humanités. Véritable synthèse et de ouvrage de référence sur la question, rassemblant les meilleurs spécialistes internationaux, cette nouvelle édition de Zoos humains. Au temps des exhibitions humaines (La Découverte, 2002) est entièrement refondue et largement complétée. Fruit de plus de dix ans de recherches, elle paraît à l'occasion de l'exposition « Exhibitions. L'invention du sauvage » organisée au musée du Quai Branly à Paris

Abstract

French colonisers of the Third Republic claimed not to oppress but to liberate, imagining they were spreading republican ideals to the colonies to make a Greater France. In this book Simon Dell explores the various roles played by portraiture in this colonial imaginary. Anyone interested in the history of colonial Africa will have encountered innumerable portraits of African elites produced during the first half of the twentieth century, yet no book to date has focused on these ubiquitous images. Dell analyses the production and dissemination of such portraits and situates them in a complex and conflicted field of representations. Moving between European and African perspectives, the book blends history with art history to provide insights into the larger processes that were transforming the French metropole and colonies during the early twentieth century.

Abstract

The Other Side of Empathy argues that empathy itself is a culturally created and maintained affective ideology deployed to make sense of a world that has been irrevocably distorted by colonization and technology. Understanding empathy culture, and empathy as an ideology allows for an exploration of its arbitrariness, cultural contradictions, and limits. An analysis of "human zoos," as presented in colonial photography and in their digital afterlife, illustrates how ingrained proper empathetic responses are built into culture. Emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality, ensure that colonial dynamics are maintained into the future despite information that allows other ways of understanding the past. The Other Side of Empathy attempts to illustrate how we can dismantle empathy to allow for more nuanced and complete understandings of the colonial past and its impact on the world today.

Abstract

Omstreeks de voorlaatste eeuwwisseling vergaapte het Europese publiek zich massaal aan Afrikanen, Javanen, indianen, lilliputters, Eskimo's, en andere uit de kolonies geïmporteerde 'exoten' die in menselijke dierentuinen als rariteit te kijk werden gezet. In negen essays wordt het spanningsveld verkend tussen exploratie en exploitatie, bestudering en beheersing van 'de exotische ander', van de 19de eeuw tot op heden. Geïllustreerd met affiches en 19de-eeuwse 'wetenschappelijke' portretten van 'exotische mensen'. Publicatie bij de tentoonstelling 'De Tentoongestelde Mens. Andere culturen als amusement' in Museum Dr. Guislain (29/05-13/09/09).
