McGrath, Larry Sommer, Making Spirit Matter: Neurology, Psychology, and Selfhood in Modern France
Larry Sommer McGrath’s Making Spirit Matter is, first and foremost, a study of French spiritualist philosophy from the mid-nineteenth century to about 1914. The word spiritualism itself is what teachers of French call a faux ami. In English the term evokes seances and studies of paranormal phenomena: what the French call spiritisme. In French, spiritualisme denotes a philosophical effort to understand selfhood in a way that draws a distinction be…
The Financial Commitment of Repository Countries: A Key Element of Reparation
English translation by Sarah Frisbie, Amanda M. Maples, and John Warne MonroeThe issue of restitution of African cultural property proves complex if we take into account the challenges that this poses for both repository countries and countries of origin. In the controversy provoked by the publication of the report by Felwine Sarr and Bénédicte Savoy,1 in which we see certain Western museums claiming the title of universal museums with the vocati…
Some Preliminary Responses to “Beyond Single Stories”

The Making of a Metropolitan Fetish: A Fang Mask Transformed
Metropolitan Fetish: African Sculpture and the Imperial French Invention of Primitive Art
From the 1880s to 1940, French colonial officials, businessmen and soldiers, returning from overseas postings, brought home wooden masks and figures from Africa. This imperial and cultural power-play is the jumping-off point for a story that travels from sub-Saharan Africa to Parisian art galleries; from the pages of fashion magazines, through the doors of the Louvre, to world fairs and international auction rooms; into the apartments of avant-ga…

The Market as “Artist”: The French Origins of the Obsession with Provenance in Historical African Art
Provenance has become crucially important in the Western market for historical African sculpture, and as a consequence individual African artists have been erased in favor of an emphasis on the dealer's or collector's discriminating “eye.” This article proposes an explanation for why this erasure has occurred by looking at the development of the market for historical African art in early twentieth century Paris. Though commonly portrayed as an in…
Jerrold Seigel. Between Cultures: Europe and Its Others in Five Exemplary Lives
In recent years, historians have become increasingly interested in moving beyond the discipline’s traditional fields of analysis—which since its origins in the nineteenth century have been defined in terms of the nation-state. A key part of this enterprise is to reveal the constructedness of political, economic, cultural, and social borders by examining instances in which they blur or become porous. Between Cultures: Europe and Its Others in Five…

Surface Tensions: Empire, Parisian Modernism, and “Authenticity” in African Sculpture, 1917–1939
THE WESTERN AESTHETIC CATEGORY of primitive art came into its own in Paris in the early decades of the twentieth century. 1 While Europeans had appreciated the decorative quality and fine workmanship of some African and Oceanic objects as early as the 1880s, it fell to a group of cutting-edge Parisian artists, collectors, and dealers to transform this admiration into a self-consciously avant-garde project. 2 For these advocates, a penchant for wh…
