Feng, Jingyuan. "La présence de la Chine aux Expositions universelles françaises de 1855 à 1937." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021SORUL089.
Full textIn their heyday, the World’s fairs, landmarks of the processes of globalization and modernization, did not lack a Chinese participation of multiform and multi-level in the main organizing country, France. The study of the Chinese presence follows chronologically these great events held in Paris, case by case, for nearly a century. The representations treated evolved with time, according to the international context, the Franco-Chinese relationship and the political regime. The question of clarifying the facts and specifying the limits of the place of this country in the French World’s fairs is the origin of the present study. At the end of the dynasty, imperial maritime customs under the direction of foreigners strongly influenced the organizational procedures. Witnessing the mutation of economic life, national pavilions in Paris revealed both the imbalance of the geographical distribution of trade and the disparity of the industrial structure in this country. At the same time, cultural and artistic events presented a continuity that survived the changes. Moreover, the analysis of these participations allows us to examine the possible capacity to present itself on the international scene, as well as to evaluate the first efforts of Chinese industrialization. This thesis aims to draw up an assessment of Chinese participations in France, in order to contribute to one aspect of the history of exhibitions in modern China

Full textThe Mellerios are French jewellers originally from Italy. Thanks to the grant of a royal decree by the Regent Marie de Medici in 1613, the Mellerios ancestors benefited from the following privilege to ‘wear and sell cut crystal, ironmongery and other trinkets’ throughout the French Kingdom. Even though their small jewellery business prospered around the end of the 18th Century, it was at the start of the 19th Century that the Mellerios were fully settled in Paris. Their business reached its peak, from an economic and artistic view point, between the July Monarchy and the Second Empire. Their business succeeded not only in adapting to the fashions of the day but in setting the trends. Studying this family business leads us to touch upon all questions relative to the history, the types, techniques and methods of designing jewellery, as well as the stylistic evolution and the artistic influences of the Mellerios throughout 1830 – 1870, the most revealing and productive period for their firm
Martin-Neute, Emilie. "L’année 1900. La peinture contemporaine au travers des expositions parisiennes." Thesis, Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040203.
Full textThe year 1900 marks the theoretical end of the 19th century, the last years of which still too often translate in people’s mind to irreversibly opposing Academism and Avant-garde. While the first one is sometimes synonymous of artistic sclerosis and ageing painters, the latter is still considered nowadays as a victim of the Fine Arts official system, finding its salvation only in parallel networks operated by galleries and art dealers. The study of painting exhibitions which took place in Paris during the year 1900 tends to go back on this presupposition. The shows are put together by different structures such as the Universal Exposition, the Salon of the Société des Artistes français or independent art dealers, yet a thorough analysis of their organization and content brings to light the various footbridges that exist between the official and the mercantile spheres at the turn of the century. It is thus by confronting the entirety of the Parisian painting exhibitions in the year 1900 that this thesis offers to render the complexity of the Parisian artistic world of the time, the multiple faces taken on by the pictorial French school, and above all the permeability between Academism, modernity and Avant-garde

Full textDuring the XIXth century, marble-working became increasingly mechanised and technical transfers took place in the various crafts, thanks to national industrial exhibitions and to international expositions. This thesis aims to demonstrate, by the examination of two registers of original records, hitherto unpublished, that the trade networks established in the XVIIIth century by a family of marble-workers from Rance, in the Belgian province of Hainault, continued into the XIXth century with specialisation in producing monumental marble chimney-pieces, thanks to the development of techniques and methods of transport. We also propose an outline of a prosopographic dictionary of marble-workers, derived from reports of national and universal expositions, and of the key figures who influenced the development of marble-working techniques in the XIXth century.Key-words : marble-working, techniques, expositions, records, chimney-piece, dictionary, key figures
Décoret-Ahiha, Anne. "Les danses exotiques en France,1900-1940." Paris 8, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA081455.
Full textDuring the first forty years of the xx0 century, various french show halls (theatre, variety, universal and colonial exhibitions) welcomed asian, african, oriental and american dancers and allowed a large audience to discover new choregraphic and gestural forms, resolutly different from the codes of the western academic dance. In a context of colonial apogee and industrial progress, these exotic dances became a real source of interest and a lot of passion resulted from this new trend, both for the public and for the dancers who were involved more or less deeply in their practice. Starting from each exotic artist's itinerary, the purpose of this study is to show the history of the discovery of exotic dances, social or theatrical, in france. It will look at the various stages of this discovery, will high light the issue about the process of transfer / adaptation of cultural and choregraphic forms. I will also analyse the speechs made at that time and will assess the impact of this new current on social and artistic dance practices

Full textThe principal objective of this thesis is to analyse the way in which Japonisme constructs itself in France from 1850s to 1900. The thesis also examines the traces that Japonisme has left in the history of Occidental art, with the hypothesis that such a phenomenon is not contingent: rather, Japonisine is a necessity in historical and artistic development. In other words, it is a product of what the French sought in the Japanese art : the traits that French art itself had already possessed. It bas been a long time since the Occident dreamt of the Oriental. One cannot be deceived by the affirmation that Japonisme was merely an exotic occurrence, having demonstrated that the Oriental and the Occident were mutually attracted even though they were conflicting in several respects. The officiai propagation of the country's image during the Universal Expositions had made possible the fabrication of Japonisine. One will thus understand the political strategy that Japan had attached to such circulation, and how it had exhibited an image of itself. Japanese traditional art and its relation to the quotidian brought forth much French enthusiasm. As such, the thesis will study the way in which such enthusiasm responded to Japanese art, expounding on the writings of art critics, in particular Ernest Chesneau and the Goncourt brothers. Furthermore, the thesis analyses the way in which French art was influenced and transformed by Japanese art in the works of three prominent artists. Namely Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse

Full textThe 1867 world fair of Paris permitted to study a certain French craze towards industrial exhibitions. The following groups contributed to the event: industrials - for commercial and strategic reasons, the Government - promoting its economic policy subsequently to the free trade agreement of 1860 between Great Britain and France, the elite -intending to improve product designs and reinforce professional training. The organisation benefited from the experience of Frederic Le Play, head of the Imperial Commission, who contributed to major evolutions. These included pavilions, greater autonomy for exhibitors, working class concerns and the advent of large scale entertainment. The exhibition was an organisational success with mixed results. The French industry had been modernised and France was always the leading nation in arts and crafts. Nevertheless the USA and German states had shown to make rapid progress; Socil concerns of the paternalists had sadely little impact on workers

Full textFrance and Belgium organised several international and colonial exhibitions, as well as universal exhibitions or World Fairs, from the end of the 20th century to 1958. Through these world exhibitions, these two great colonial powers developed various forms of propaganda to account for their “civilizing missions”. Protestant and catholic missionaries took part in those great celebrations. By reading and working on archives of religious congregations such as the congregation of the Holy Spirit, The Jesuit, and the oeuvre de la Propagation de la Foi, but also the French, Belgian and Swedish national archives and the Holy Sea archives, I was able to understand how the missionaries organized themselves to take part in those exhibitions in France and Belgium. The missionaries organised exhibitions in ever growing pavilions which would become huge architectural complexes, from the 1897 exhibition (taking place in Tervuren) to the 1935 and 1958 exhibitions (taking place in Brussels), not forgetting the 1900, 1931 and 1937 Paris exhibitions. The way missionaries staged their work changed and evolved. Indeed, “indigenous” artifacts were gradually less displayed and missionaries used dioramas, stylish statistics and lit-up maps instead. The architecture of the pavilion was in itself telling, a good example of this being the 1931 pavilion of the Catholic missions. The way missionaries staged their exhibitions reflected the changes in their worldview. The colonized populations and their cultures were more and more emphasized, while the link with the colonization was less and less asserted and straightforward

Full textThis study aims at observing the interest in Touraine food specialities and how they were promoted by various players. Starting from the 1880s, with the appearance of regionalism (an integral part of which is gastronomy), our study ends in the late 20th century, when the notion of heritage becomes widespread and gets its current form. Thanks to the meeting of the agricultural theme, regionalist dynamics (politically and culturally speaking), and the tourist identity of the “Garden of France,” the emergence of food heritage is reflected on. All involved players build up a regional identity through the promotion of centres of tourist interest and set their sights on sustaining local attractiveness. The behavioural evolution throughout the period is observed, ranging from qualitative approach to excessive commercial drive; from strong interest in “terroir” to a certain detachment from it
Ahn, Sung-Eun. "Jean-François Millet et les écrivains de son siècle." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040268.
Full textJean-Francois Millet (1814-1875) was born in the era of Romanticism and died at the beginning of Impressionism. In the nineteenth-century, due to the great exhibitions, the Salons, and the Exposition Universelle as well as the increasing demand of the press, many writers became art critics : for example, Gautier, Baudelaire, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Huysmans, and still many more forgotten in our day. The change in appreciation of Millet’s artwork can be attested through the documents gathered in this research. This documentation makes it possible to appreciate and to allocate an appropriate place to this painter and his works, as well as to follow contemporary aesthetic evaluations on his works. This research covers the beginning of Millet’s career as a painter in the 1840s, up to his posthumous success, the Retrospective Exhibition at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1887 and The Angelus sale in 1889

Full textAs part of the current historiography of the cultural studies of international relationships, this thesis questions the role of artistic exchanges in Franco-Italian diplomatic relations, from the aftermath of World War II to the beginnings of European construction. The analysis of exhibitions held by the Cultural Services of the French and Italian Ministries of Foreign Affairs, respectively in Italy and France, highlights the balance of power and the keys to the Franco-Italian reconciliation after 1945. The reconstruction of national identities, their representations and their circulations in both sides of the Alps are questioned in the particular context of the Cold War leading to the rise of a new form of European cultural diplomacy. We focus, firstly, on the modalities of institutional and ideological transition before and after World War II, introducing elements of interruptions and continuities. We then analyze the "militant" exhibitions, main focus of tensions and strong geopolitical issues in the international stage. Finally, we show the emergence of recurring patterns and exhibition typologies which address the need for diplomatic balance pursued by the French and Italian governments in the formation of cultural Europe after 1945
Questa tesi si inserisce nel quadro storiografico della Storia culturale delle relazioni internazionali e interroga piùspecificatamente il ruolo degli scambi artistici nelle relazioni diplomatiche italo-francesi, dalla fine della Seconda Guerramondiale agli esordi della costruzione europea. L’analisi delle mostre realizzate dai servizi culturali dei ministeri degli AffariEsteri francese e italiano, rispettivamente in Italia e in Francia, mette in evidenza i giochi di potere e le chiavi dellariconciliazione italo-francese dopo il 1945. La ricostruzione delle identità nazionali, le loro rappresentazioni e le circolazionida una parte all’altra delle Alpi sono qui interrogate in funzione dell’elaborazione di una nuova forma di diplomazia culturalenell’Europa della Guerra fredda. Ci siamo prima impegnati a ricostruire la transizione istituzionale e ideologica dal periodofra le due guerre all’indomani del 1945, mostrandone i punti di rottura e di continuità. Poi, abbiamo esaminato le mostre“militanti”, oggetti di tensioni dai forti accenti geopolitici nello scenario internazionale dal 1944 al 1948. Infine, abbiamoanalizzato il sorgere di modelli ripetitivi e delle tipologie di mostre che rispondono al bisogno di equilibrio diplomaticoperseguito dai governi francese e italiano nell’ambito della formazione di un’Europa culturale dopo il 1945

Full textAlthough Futurism and Dadaism are credited for their experiences with different forms of performance, only few art historians acknowledge Surrealism’s influence. Building on the work of RoseLee Goldberg and Adrian Henri, the purpose of this thesis is to shed light on Surrealism’s contribution to what is globally known as Performance Art. We reconstruct, study and analyze the ephemeral events organized by the surrealists for their international exhibitions that took place in Paris: the Acte manqué presented at the opening of the Exposition internationale du surréalisme (1938), Prière de toucher, a performative object created for Le Surréalisme en 1947, and Festin inaugural as well as the Exécution du testament du Marquis de Sade, both organized for the Exposition inteRnatiOnale du Surréalisme (E.R.O.S.) in 1959. After a detailed analysis of these events, we then discuss their possible links to Performance Art of the 1960s/1970s. Our aim is not to state that the experimentations of that time period are inherently surrealist, but – in order to show the importance of the surrealist ephemeral events – , we point out that some issues and questions that posed the French avant-garde group, images even, were mirrored in Performance Art of the 1960s/ 1970s

Full textSelf-made man, F. B. Arlès-Dufour, commissionner in the silk trade, faithful saint-simonian - old friend and executor for Prosper Enfantin - devoted himself, early in life, to economical and social affairs. His priority was to serve the interests of that class of people which was the poorest and most numerous. So, he took an early initiative, with often-stubborn persistence, in introducing and developing elementary and professional education (Société d'Instruction primaire du Rhône, Martinière, Ecole centrale lyonnaise, Société d'Enseignement professionnel du Rhône). Inamited by important actions, member of Chamber of commerce for 36 years, he was directly involved in the beginnings of the numerous industrial and commercial companies of the 19th century : banks (Banque de Lyon, Banque de France (Lyons), Crédit Lyonnais), railways (Paris, Lyons, Mediterranean), Suez canal - before Lesseps ! - etc. With an unfailing perseverance, he devoted himself to free exchange. Closely acquainted with numerous economic and political figures in Britain (Bowring, Cobden, Bright), he was one of the instigators of the commercial treaty with England of 1860. Member of the jury of several national and international exhibitions, he was especially general secretary of the International Exhibition of Paris of 1855, with the prince Napoléon as president. Regular visitor of the Palais Royal and, without doubt, Les Tuileries, sans rien craindre ni attendre du pouvoir" ("fearing nothing and expecting nothing from the authorities") as he wrote to the Emperor on april, second, 1869, this upright man of action, with a strong and unique personality, was made Commandeur de l'Ordre impérial de la Légion d'honneur

Full textThis doctoral dissertation treats the history of the projects of museums of photography in France between 1850 and 1945. It aims to study and identify the various conceptions of the photographic museum - documentary, artistic, historical, technical, etc. – and their history. Between the late nineteenth century and the Second World War, two main ideas coexist in the design of photographic museum: what we shall call "museum of photographs," where photography is first and foremost the means of a visual encyclopedia or documentation, and on the other hand what we shall call a "museum of photography" dedicated to photography for its own sake, not as a means of recording reality, but as a medium. This conceptual ambiguity – Is photography the tool or the subject of the museum ? — is inherent in the relationship between the photograph and the museum, and is one of the principle lines of inquiry in this study. This work examines the causes of these institutional failures given the lack of implementation of these projects, some of which were tried but never continued. It hinges on three chronological periods that trace the major developments of these projects : the years between 1850-1880, where photography and the museum meet; the years of the 'imagined museums photography’ in 1880-1910 where we can see various museum forms develop; and finally, the Interwar period which can be considered as the moment where the true battle for the museum of photography emerged

Full textBetween 1871 and 1933, the French embassy in Berlin was, seen from France, an embassy sent to the main enemy, and, seen from Germany, the nest of the main enemy in Berlin. Mistrust was the ground principle of the relationship between Paris and Berlin, forcing those representing France in imperial and Weimar Germany to face the obstacles, contradictions and frustrations resulting from a diplomatic mission in an unwelcoming city, and whose goals were not clearly stated. How, in these circumstances, can diplomacy be practiced on a daily basis? Our work aims at answering the question, wandering through the kitchens, the offices as well as the ballroom of the embassy, trying to figure out what the daily life of the French microcosm on the Pariser Platz looked like. Emphasizing how the embassy was, at the same time, confronting French-German rivalry, working around and trying to overcome it, the study sheds light on the meaning, the purpose, the possibilities and the limits of residence diplomacy on hostile ground

But from January 1894, Alfred Picard, the World Fair General Commissioner, rejected his proposal, rather choosing to organize physical exercises and sport competitions, thus depriving Coubertin of the supports who would have allowed him to organize Olympic Games. Therefore the only solution left for the IOC President was to keep up appearances, in order to ensure the survival of the rising Olympic movement. He made it so well that the myth of the 1900 Olympic Games still goes on, a myth preserved by the IOC itself.

Full textIn 1729, Corsica entered a forty year period of militarily organised revolt against the Republic of Genoa, justified by historical, legal and theological arguments. The instability of this western Mediterranean island, situated as it was at a strategic position of prime importance for commerce and naval warfare, made it an important factor in the rivalries between Western monarchies. Under the leadership of Luigi Giafferi, a captain in the Venetian army during the first Morean War and the representative of the “Noble Twelve”, the movement was supported by a group of clan leaders from the East coast of Corsica and Corsican officers based in the Venetian States: Lieutenant Colonel Giafferi, the brother of Luigi, Colonels Giappiconi and Zicavo, in the service of the Venetian republic, and the Brigadier General Boeri, a former colonel in the Venetian army who had gone on to serve at the courts of Parma and of Spain. Based on original archival sources, this thesis reconstructs the central role played by the predecessors of Pascal Paoli, sheds light on some lesser known aspects of the complex international rivalries over Corsica and underlines the role of Corsican “entrepreneurs de guerre” in financing and influencing the direction of the insurrection

Full textAfter the breaking off of the Peace of Amiens, the Premier Consul keeps the British who were present on the French ground as hostages as a reply to the British Government who keeps also French prisoners. But the true reason is more economical. The British prisoners are treated differently from prisoners of war and are only used in what is useful, such as spinning factories.Having a precise census of the British population in the depots was difficult: the documents are incomplete and the transfers from depot to depot too often. There were four depots at the beginning but it went to twelve in 1810 and 15 by the end of the war.Social life is organized and the prisoners tend to recreate the “British way of life” with much rejoicing in the various depots. But money games bring quarrels and debts. Escapes arises hunger in the French War Ministry. Exchanges are seldom and wounded and disabled men are part of these exchanges. Health remains a major problem and food is of poor quality. Death rate is severe. Except weddings and births, they have not left anything as they did not build but remembrance is still there
