• La nature de la numinosité et sa reconstruction muséologique

  Incluir item

  L’auteur interroge la notion d’objets « numineux », c’est-à-dire supposés détenir un certain pouvoir dans un certain contexte culturel, et pour des communautés précises. Une fois mis au musée, ces objets sont censés perdre toutes leurs qualités, au profit de seules valeurs savantes étrangères à leurs propriétés d’origine. Le propos de l’article est au contraire de soutenir, dans une perspective anthropologique, que la situation de pareils artefac…

  Museums are not usually seen to be agents of change. If they are to serve as important mechanisms for empowering local communities to define, recognize, and develop their own indigenous heritages, they should first consider a potential contradiction contained within this initiative: museums specialize in the representation of other peoples, while people have the sovereign right to represent themselves. Left unresolved, this contradiction could pr…

  Clifford Geertz is known for his work on the interpretation of cultural forms. In this book he develops his view that anthropology should be understood as a kind of writing: doing good anthropology is like writing good literature. Drawing on Foucault and Barthes, Geertz discusses the relations between authors and their works. He then examines the work of some of the great anthropologists: Levi-Strauss, Evans-Pritchard, Malinowski and Benedict. Vi…
