Cette thèse propose de suivre la trajectoire d'instruments de musique non-européens acquis en période coloniale pour les musées parisiens. Elle questionne ainsi les effets de la patrimonialisation de ces objets d'usage, aux provenances et aux contextes d'acquisition variés, sur leur conservation matérielle depuis leur acquisition à la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. La mise en collection de biens culturels entraîne l'instauration de nouveaux gestes parfois très éloignés de ceux qui étaient employés pour leurs usages antérieurs. Ceux-ci témoignent des nouvelles fonctions attribuées à l'objet dont la conservation matérielle devient primordiale. La patrimonialisation des instruments de musique suscite des questionnements spécifiques liés à l'évocation, au maintien, voire à la réactivation de leur fonctionnalité. Pour les collections non-européennes, cette appréhension complexe se double de problématiques liées au fait de conserver, présenter et valoriser un objet culturellement éloigné du professionnel et du visiteur. Les parcours de ces instruments déplacés, intimement liés au développement de l'ethnologie et à l'histoire coloniale française et européenne, soulèvent des questions complexes tant du point de vue de l'histoire des collections que de celui des politiques publiques. En se fondant sur l'analyse historique et matérielle d'un corpus de luths conservés au Musée de la musique (Cité de la Musique - Philharmonie de Paris) et au musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, acquis à partir de 1872 par le musée Instrumental du Conservatoire national de musique et le musée d'ethnographie du Trocadéro, ce travail explore les liens entre traces muséales et mémoires coloniales. Le geste du praticien ne pouvant être dissocié du contexte dans lequel il intervient, cette thèse vise à repositionner les pratiques muséales dans leurs contextes historiques et institutionnels. La trace matérielle devient alors le témoin du regard porté sur ces instruments et éclaire l'histoire muséale des collections issues de contextes coloniaux à l'heure où de nouvelles réflexions, portées par les débats sur leurs acquisitions, visent à une prise en charge éthique de ces biens culturelsThis thesis examines the trajectory of non-European musical instruments acquired for Paris museums during the colonial period. It considers the effects of the patrimonialisation of these objects of use, which come from a variety of origins and acquisition contexts, on their material conservation from their acquisition at the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. Putting cultural artefacts into collections leads to the introduction of new procedures, sometimes far from those used for their previous purposes. These practices reflect the new functions assigned to the object, whose material preservation has become essential. The preservation of musical instruments raises specific questions relating to the evocation, maintenance and even reactivation of their functionality. In the case of non-European collections, these complex issues are combined with the problems of conserving and displaying an object that is culturally distant to both professionals and visitors. The paths taken by these relocated instruments, which are closely linked to the development of ethnology and to French and European colonial history, raise complex issues from the point of view of both the history of collections and public policy. Based on a historical and material analysis of a corpus of lutes held at the Musée de la Musique (Cité de la Musique - Philharmonie de Paris) and the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, acquired from 1872 onwards by the Instrumental Museum of the Conservatoire National de Musique and the Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro, this research explores the links between museum traces and colonial memories. As the practitioner's gesture cannot be dissociated from the context in which it takes place, this dissertation aims to reposition museum practices in their historical and institutional contexts. The physical trace thus becomes a witness to the way in which these instruments are perceived, shedding light on the museum history of collections from colonial contexts at a time when new thinking, prompted by debates on their acquisition, is aiming to take ethical responsibility for these cultural artefacts

Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif de retracer l’histoire transnationale de l’Équateur et de la France de 1875 à 1929, période d’échanges scientifiques, culturels et politiques qui déterminent la structure des pratiques du collectionnisme « amérindien » et du phénomène muséal dans ces deux nations. L’enquête historiographique dans différents fonds archivistiques et muséaux de l’Équateur et de la France a permis d’éclaircir les étapes constitutives à la formation des collections scolaires, municipales et ethnographiques par des agencies différentes – voyageurs, scientifiques, ou diplomates – qui opèrent au nom de la science, de la patrie et des nouvelles dynamiques capitalistes. Ces réseaux de sociabilité développés entre les savants transnationaux ont permis de distinguer ensuite des acteurs considérés comme secondaires (à savoir le paysagiste Édouard André ou le huaquero éclairé Alcides Destruge), d’identifier des collections « perdues » (d’Auguste Cousin, de Dominique-Vivant Denon, et notamment le Trésor de Cuenca) et de constater l’influence muséale entre l’Équateur et la France lors de la mise en œuvre des musées scolaires, municipaux et ethnographiques. Les objets collectés sont ainsi pensés comme des sources documentaires qui structurent le développement de la science globale et de la construction des États-nations modernes. Ce sont les élites franco-équatoriennes qui – motivées par leurs intérêts économiques, politiques et nationalistes – se chargent de présenter lors des expositions universelles de Paris la culture matérielle de la nation sous le prisme du discours colonial. Les nouveaux musées qui sont créés par la suite vont véhiculer cette image d’un pays exotique (sauvage et incasique) qui est diffusée jusqu’au siècle suivant en tant que représentation objective de la modernité occidentaleThe purpose of this thesis is to retrace the history of the transnational exchange between Ecuador and France from 1875 to 1929. This was a period of scientific, cultural and political exchange that determined the structure of the practices for collecting Indigenous objects, and the beginning of the museum phenomenon in these two nations. The historiographic survey of various archival and museum collections in Ecuador and France has made it possible to shed light on the nascent stages of the formation of school, municipal and ethnographic collections by different agencies (travelers, scientists, or diplomats) that were operating in the name of science, their homeland, and the new capitalist dynamics. These social networks that developed between the scholars of these two nations made it possible to distinguish between actors that were considered secondary (namely the landscape architect Édouard André or the huaquero éclairé Alcides Destruge), to identify “lost” collections (such as the collections of Auguste Cousin, Dominique-Vivant Denon, and the Trésor de Cuenca), and to analyze the influence between Ecuador and France during the stages in which the school, municipal and ethnographic museums were being set up. Thus, the artefacts that were collected are considered as documental sources that contributed to order the development of global science and the construction of modern nation-states. The Franco-Ecuadorian elites that were motivated by their economic, political and nationalist interests were responsible for presenting national material culture through the prism of the colonial discourse at international exhibitions in Paris. The new museums that were subsequently created would convey this image of an exotic country (savage and Incan) that will be presented as an objective representation of Western modernity until the following century

In the second half of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century the collecting of objects from colonized countries and their subsequent display in western museums was widespread throughout Western Europe. How and why these collections were made, the processes of collection, and by whom, has only recently begun to be addressed. This thesis is an exploration of the ethnographic collection of Gertrude Emily Benham (1867-1938) who made eight voyages independently around the world from 1904 until 1938, during which time she amassed a collection of approximately eight hundred objects, which she donated to Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery in 1935. It considers how and why she formed her collection and how, as a an amateur and marginalised collector, she can be located within discourses on ethnographic collecting. The thesis is organised by geographical regions in order to address the different contact zones of colonialism as well as to contextualise Benham within the cultural milieu in which she collected and the global collection of objects that she collected. An interdisciplinary perspective was employed to create a dialogue between anthropology, geography, museology, postcolonial and feminist theory to address the complex issues of colonial collecting. Benham is located within a range of intersecting histories: colonialism, travel, collecting, and gender. This study is the first in-depth examination of Benham as a collector and adds to the knowledge and understanding of Benham and her collection in Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery. It contributes to the discourse on ethnographic collectors and collecting and in doing so it acknowledges the agency and contribution of marginal collectors to resituate them as a central and intrinsic component in the formation of the ethnographic museum. In addition, and central to this, is the agency and role of indigenous people in forming ethnographic collections. The thesis offers a foundation for further research into women ethnographic collectors and a more nuanced and inclusive account of ethnographic collecting.

Consacrée aux collections africaines des officiers coloniaux français, cette recherche soulève la question de l’exploration et de la conquête de l’Afrique à la fin du XIXè siècle et au début du XXè siècle. Parmi les explorateurs envoyés par les pays européens pour coloniser les populations africaines figurent des hommes de couches sociales et de professions différentes. On peut citer, par exemple, les missionnaires, les administrateurs, les militaires. Il est privilégié ici l’étude de l’action coloniale des officiers français engagés dans une série de régions (Mali, Sénégal, Congo, Tchad, République Centrafricaine…). Lors des missions d’exploration, ces hommes y découvraient un éventail d’objets (armes, instruments de musique, objets d’utilité quotidienne, objets rituels…) qu’ils collectaient sous l’incitation des instructions reçues en France avant leur départ. Il convient d’étudier les provenances géographiques et les conditions d’acquisition de ces objets afin de dégager la particularité des collections rassemblées par les officiers. Au terme de leurs périples, ceux-ci rapportaient en France ces collections qu’ils offraient aux musées comme le Musée de l’Homme et le Musée de l’Armée. Aujourd’hui, le Musée du Quai Branly conserve de précieux dossiers sur ces militaires (Archinard, Brazza, Marchand, Tilho…) ainsi que les traces de leurs dons. Après avoir répertorié environ 1500 objets dont l’histoire est indissociable à celle de la colonisation de l’Afrique, on déduit que ces oeuvres constituent un véritable héritage colonial permettant d’analyser la vision européenne et la perception des militaires français par rapport à la culture matérielle africaine. Par ailleurs, l’étude de cet acquis colonial peut révéler le degré de civilisation des populations locales qui avaient fabriqué et utilisé les articles concernés à la fin du XIXè siècle et au début du XXè siècleThis research concerns the French officers contribution during the colonization of Africa and the quality of the african objects that they collected. It aims to study the exploration and the conquest of Africa at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During this period, European countries sent in the different parts of the continent many explorers to colonize the population. Those explorers had different social classes and jobs. Among them, there were, for example, religious persons, administrators and soldiers. It is the colonial action of the French officers in the different countries of Africa (Mali, Senegal, Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic…) that is studing. During the exploration travel, the colonial officers discovered in those countries different kinds of objects. According of the instructions they received in France before their travel, they collected the local objects as the arms, the royal objects, the music objects, the cooking objects, the objects of the traditional ceremony. It’s interesting to study where the objects provided and the conditions of the collect. It’s a best way to know the particularities of the result of the officers discoveries. At the end of the journey in Africa, the officers brought to France the result of the collect and offered the objects to the French museums as the Musée de l’Homme, the Musée de l’Armée. Today, the Musée du Quai Branly is conserving the documents about the exploration travels of many officers (Archinard, Brazza, Marchand, Tilho, Lenfant…) and some of the objects they had collected for studying the customs of the African populations. We interroged about 1500 objects they had collected. The history of those objects is associated to the Africa colonization history. Nowadays, those objects constitute a colonial heritage and permit to analyze the European vision and the military perception about the African material culture and to know the degree of the civilization of the African populations who made and used those objects in Africa at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th

HistoryPh.D.
The dissertation explores the intellectual history of the interconnection of European and African ideas about race and space in 19th-century European imperialism. I examine German colonial geographies of East Africa, meaning not only cartography, but the new discipline of human geography, which studies the relationship between people and their environment. Germans and East Africans together produced a hybrid geography that combined precolonial conceptions of race and space and race from both Europe and Africa, and race explicitly entered German governance for the first time. By analyzing changes in how both Germans and East Africans imagined geographical relationships, I argue, we can better understand the ways in which they developed new conceptions of themselves and the world at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The project traces the history of German racial thinking to a specific, earlier colonial context than other scholars have argued. It also brings a spatial dimension to studies of the colonial state in Africa in order to understand the ways in which spaces have become imbued with racial and ethnic meaning over the last century and a half.

Cette thèse examine les liens entre l'étude du passé et la mise en place et le fonctionnement de l'administration coloniale en Inde. Un processus d'inventaire, de description et de conservation des vestiges matériels de la civilisation indienne se développe au moment où l'East India Company (EIC) se transforme en puissance politique, gouvernant un nombre croissant de territoires du sous-continent. La multiplication des travaux sur les antiquités, encouragée par la création de l'Asiatic Society du Bengale, la fondation de musées à Londres et à Calcutta et l'instauration de mesures d'entretien et de réparation d'édifices en sont autant de manifestations. Les employés civils et militaires de l'EIC qui mènent des recherches antiquaires et collectionnent des objets (statues, inscriptions, monnaies, etc. ) sont au coeur de ce mouvement. Ils sont donc les protagonistes de cette étude, qui analyse également le rôle des informateurs, des assistants et des savants indiens, ainsi que celui de l'EIC en tant qu'institution. La présentation de la contribution des différents acteurs permet d'éclairer les méthodes et les concepts qui sous-tendent l'étude des antiquités indiennes, inspirés en partie de celle des antiquités européennes, mais aussi les finalités de l'exploration et de la conservation des monuments, dont les enjeux sont à la fois savants et politiques. Cette thèse se situe ainsi à la croisée de l'histoire coloniale, de l'histoire de l'orientalisme et de celle de l'antiquariatThis dissertation explores the relationship between the study of the past and the rise and functioning of colonial administration in India. Description and preservation of material remains of Indian civilization developed as the East India Company (EIC) became a political power in India, ruling a growing number of territories. Proliferation of works on antiquities, encouraged by the creation of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, foundation of museums at London and Calcutta, promotion of care and repair of selected buildings all attest to that process. Civil and military employees of the EIC who undertake antiquarian researches and collect objects (statues, inscriptions, coins, etc. ) lie at the heart of that movement. This study also details the role of Indian assistants, informants and scholars, as well as that of the EIC as an institution. Through an analysis of the contribution of those various actors, it throws light upon methods and concepts underlying investigation or Indian antiquities, partly inspired by that of European antiquities. It also examines the ends of exploration and preservation of monuments, which deal with both scholar and political spheres. This dissertation thus lies at the junction of colonial history, history of orientalism and that of antiquarianism

As tangible manifestations of past and present interactions between humans and the material world, objects force us to reckon with the messy and often contradictory aspects of history. The establishment of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in 1893 marked the formalisation of European control and dominance over the region, and brought about the cessation or alteration of many cultural traditions and practices. The transformations of the subsequent twenty years brought Islanders, colonial officers, and plantations owners together in the formation of a colonial society predicated on hierarchies of race and economics. Focusing on the museum collections of Charles Morris Woodford (1852-1927), an amateur naturalist and first Resident Commissioner to the Solomons, and Arthur Mahaffy (1869-1919), the first District Officer of the region, this thesis elucidates colonial micro-histories and indigenous perspectives embodied in these forms. Utilising these collections, alongside the men’s writings, photographs, and archival colonial records, this project reveals the various strategies and techniques employed to create their collections in the field and the complexities of the period’s cross-cultural interactions. The thesis also contributes to current ethnohistorical and theoretical understandings of how social relations are made and embodied in objects, complicates current colonial histories of the Solomons, and methodologically demonstrates the potentials of collections in historical based anthropological research.

The Papuan Official Collection is a unique colonial collection assembled between 1907 and 1938 by government officers of the Australian administration of the Territory of Papua. It represents the first instance in the world where a colonial government made ethnographic collecting a requisite duty of its field officers. This unusual turn of events came at the insistence of Papua's first and longest serving Lieutenant-Governor, J.H.P. Murray, who administered the colony for over three decades. The story of how Murray came to establish an official government collection, and its subsequent formation, interpretation, and display over several decades, provides a case study par excellence for examining the complex relationship between colonialism, collecting and anthropology, which emerged over the course of the twentieth century. This study explores the genesis and history of the Papuan Official Collection, and situates it within the wider rubric of Australian colonialism. It establishes Murray as one of the earliest colonial governors in the world to implement, and publically advocate for, anthropology as a tool for colonial administration. It charts the rise of colonial discourses that linked loss of culture to physical demise in Pacific populations, and documents its influence on Australian colonial policy. Its findings suggest that the protection, preservation and management of Indigenous cultural heritage should not be considered a sideline of Australian colonial policy in Papua, but rather one of its most defining features. Over the course of its lifespan the Papuan Official Collection has been displayed in four different museums providing an opportunity to examine how a fixed body of objects (the collection) moved across time and space, to be re-interpreted into different conceptual frameworks: as curios and antiquities; ethnographic artefacts; scientific specimens; artworks; and, finally, as historic objects. My institutional history of the POC cautions against the assumption that colonial collections were always used as uncontested propaganda, which metropolitan museums were content to display on behalf of the imperial mission. While the Murray administration in Papua was able to provide goods and information to the various museums which housed the Collection, each institution had its own competing agendas and the relationship was not always a smooth one.

This thesis addresses the nineteenth-century art collection of Donald Alexander Smith, Lord Strathcona (1820--1914), in relation to intersecting questions of imperialism, colonial relations, and cultural status. Both the formation of the collection and its dispersal are linked to a dialectic of cultural hegemony and national identity in nineteenth-century Canada. Smith came penniless to Montreal from Scotland in 1838, became the wealthiest man in Canada by the end of the century, and is known as Lord Strathcona after being raised to the peerage by Queen Victoria in 1897. My discussion of the rise and fall of Strathcona's collection is informed by postcolonial theory and its critical re-reading of imperialism. While British imperialism was the ideology that governed Strathcona's activities, Anthony Giddens's structuration theory is introduced to account for how personal agency remains operative within this dominant ideology.Strathcona formed a significant collection of European paintings and Asian art, which was, however, largely dispersed by the institution charged with its care, thus reducing its significance. Krzysztof Pomian's concept of collectors as select individuals who mediate symbolic cultural power through semiotic constructs provides an important methodological anchor for an analysis of the collector and his collection, as does Carol Duncan's work on the motivation to collect art and to structure cultural identity through control of museums. As well, the princely model of collecting reveals the humanist values operative throughout the centuries by comparison of Strathcona to the Medici in terms of the deployment of spectacle.
This thesis makes use of primary source materials to compare Strathcona's collection to several of his peers in order to place him in his cultural milieu during a time in Canadian history when Montreal was a British enclave in a French province. Analysis of fragmented primary source inventories, catalogues, personal letters, and records held by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the National Archives of Canada, identification of paintings documented in the Notman photographs of 1914--1915, and my tracing of the public portraits of Strathcona by Robert Harris still on view in Montreal institutions allowed me to create useful inventories that previously did not exist.

The What If Collection is a visual narrative that confronts white supremacy, the social, economic, and political ideology used to subjugate black civilization via colonial rule and enslavement in history and via structural racism today. Many white people have been socialized into a racial illiteracy that fosters white supremacy. This racial illiteracy fails to realize and understand the destructive effects of Western dominance on the rest of the world, particularly on past and present Africa and her diaspora. In response, utilizing discursive design, the collection constructs a counter-story that depicts a shift in the power structure in which the white oppressor is placed in the historical experience of the black oppressed. Moving forward from the past, a contemporary society is visualized where black people are the dominant force.

This thesis retraces the missionary ethno-exhibitionary phenomenon in Italy between 1850 and 1925. The missionary practice is a particular aspect of the largest phenomenon of spectacularization of otherness which took place in Europe since the early decades of the nineteenth century. My investigation starts from the so-called «Lotteria a favore dei missionari cattolici figli del Regno di Sardegna», which occurred in Turin in 1858, and ends with the examination of the «Esposizione Missionaria Vaticana», organized by the Holy See for the Jubilee Year 1925. The Lottery in Turin, which had been organized by Giuseppe Ortalda (the diocesan director of the Opera of Propagation of the Faith) is probably the first missionary experience of ethno-exhibition in Italy.
Between the two significant experiences there are many expositive episodes, which, despite their different set-ups, generally contributed to the progressive definition of a genre. The «Esposizione d'Arte Sacra e delle Missioni Cattoliche», which took place in Turin in 1898, is particularly significant: the second chapter deals generously with it.
The analysis of the phenomenon highlighted its identity potential. Religious exhibitions were mostly self-representative and had missionary-animation purposes, which have been pursued staging - and building - the otherness which must be evangelized. The thesis, then, highlights significant affinities, in Italy, between catholic and secular ethno-exhibtions. Forging exotic imaginations, they both contributed to the definition of a synthetic national-colonial culture.
Missionary museums, which are a particular category of ecclesiastical museums, are the permanent outcome of this phenomenon. An anthropological analysis thus completes my PhD thesis: with reference to some specific case studies (among which stands out, in this essay, the «Museo etnografico e di Scienze Naturali dei Missionari della Consolata di Torino»), I pointed out the problems related to the collections preserved by contemporary set-ups.
The thesis finally reflects on the possible post-ethnographic use of the pieces.La tesi ricostruisce la pratica etno-espositiva missionaria in Italia tra il 1850 e il 1925, aspetto particolare del più vasto fenomeno di spettacolarizzazione dell'alterità che si è affermato in Europa a partire dal XIX secolo. L'indagine prende le mosse dall’analisi della prima esperienza missionaria di esibizione di oggetti esotici registrata in Italia (la Lotteria a favore dei missionari cattolici figli del Regno di Sardegna, organizzata nel 1858 dal direttore dell'Opera della Propagazione della Fede di Torino Giuseppe Ortalda) e si conclude con l’esame dell’Esposizione Missionaria Vaticana, organizzata dalla Santa Sede per l'anno giubilare 1925. Tra le due significative esperienze si collocano numerosi episodi espositivi, che pur differendo talvolta anche sensibilmente negli allestimenti, contribuirono complessivamente alla progressiva definizione di un genere. Va ricordata in particolare l'imponente Esposizione d'Arte Sacra e delle Missioni Cattoliche di Torino del 1898, affrontata nel secondo capitolo. L'analisi degli eventi espositivi ne ha evidenziato soprattutto il potenziale identitario. Le mostre religiose ebbero intenti perlopiù auto-rappresentativi e di animazione missionaria, perseguiti tuttavia con abbondante ricorso alla messa in scena - e alla costruzione - dell'alterità da evangelizzare. Nella tesi sono messe in luce sensibili affinità in Italia tra le pratiche etno-espositive missionarie e quelle laiche: nel forgiare immaginari esotici le une e le altre contribuirono in definitiva alla definizione sintetica di una unica cultura coloniale nazionale. Esito permanente del fenomeno otto e novecentesco sono i musei missionari, categoria particolare dei Musei ecclesiastici. Un'analisi antropologica completa dunque la tesi: in riferimento ad alcuni casi studio specifici (tra i quali risalta in questa sede, per qualità d'analisi, il Museo etnografico e di Scienze Naturali dei Missionari della Consolata di Torino), vengono evidenziate le problematicità delle collezioni conservate dagli allestimenti contemporanei. La tesi si conclude con una riflessione sul possibile uso post-etnografico dei pezzi.

This study is an attempt to understand the politics of international film festivals and how it translates into local forms of colonialism. Theroretical review of this study focuses around the politics of festivals particularly through Iranian Cinema in the international frame. Inclusionary/exclusionary mechanisms of film festivals, the notion of national geographic effect and how they formed the canonization of Iranian cinema will be discussed. The thesis has also analyzed an Iranian film Kandahar as a case study with the notion of Orientalism to demonstrate how colonizing gaze organized in festival circuit has been internalized by a national filmmaker.

Sogbesan, Oluwatoyin Zainab. "The potential of digital representation : the changing meaning of the Ife 'bronzes' from pre-colonial Ife to the post-colonial digital British Museum." Thesis, City, University of London, 2015. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/17212/.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
For many years, meanings and interpretations of artefacts that are taken to represent African culture including the Ife bronzes have been predominantly produced and fixed by a team of western curatorial experts (Ciolfi, 2012). Such museum practices have prevented visitors and the people being represented by the artefact from participating in the process of interpretation and meaning-making. In the particular case of the ‘Ife bronzes’, the previous meaning and implications of the Ife ‘bronzes’ as part of ‘the cradle of the world’, according to Yoruba oral traditions, are yet to be given the amount of attention they deserve. For a long time the interpretations and meanings produced by curators were drawn from the writings and accounts of earlier western travellers, explorers and colonial officials whose culture affected how the Ife bronzes have been perceived and interpreted (Coombes, 1997: Vogel, 1999). Today despite the impact of ‘the new museology’, strong traces of such biased interpretations and meanings are still evident in the framing of the Ife bronze head, exhibited at the British Museum Sainsbury African gallery as a ‘funerary object’ in postcolonial times. Such narratives highlight ‘relations of power and not relations of meanings’ (Foucault, 1980:114). These contemporary exhibitionary frames highlight the need for interpretations and meanings that will consider how changing roles, ownership, usage, political situations and geographical location have affected and will affect the Ife bronzes. In this thesis I carry out this work, documenting the social life of the Ife bronzes from pre-colonial Ife to postcolonial digital British Museum. I argue that there is a need for a new space that will encourage rewriting, revising and representing the Ife bronzes in a more capacious way to depict their changing meaning as they journeyed through time. This theory is in line with Hall (1997) and Foucault’s (1980) theories that meanings and interpretations are not static but are affected by time and changing context. The thesis therefore explores the multifaceted political, economical and sociocultural implications of the Ife bronzes. Despite these wider implications of Ife bronzes, they are still only too often shrouded in narratives that tend to validate the supremacy, civilisation and intellectual ‘supremacy’ of the West instead of substantiating the ingenuity, civilisation and intellectual capabilities of Africa. Digitisation is critically considered as offering a potential new space for representing Ife bronzes in a new light that might allow meanings with postcolonial ideology to emerge. Focusing on different periods involving the Ife bronzes (the pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial) the thesis explores the potentials of digital representation. The thesis concludes that digital representation but only combined with a critical contextual approach, have the potentials of initiating a more thorough decolonisation of the Ife bronzes through an inclusive participatory culture.

During the era of New Imperialism, the French state had the daunting task of convincing the French public of the need to support and to sustain an overseas empire. Stemming from its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and hoping to regain its erstwhile global position, the French state set out to demonstrate the importance of maintaining an empire. Since the vast majority of the French people were apathetic towards colonial ventures, the French state used the 1889 Parisian Universal Exposition and the 1906 and 1922 Colonial Expositions in Marseille not only to educate the French about the economic benefits of the empire, but to entertain them simultaneously so that they unwittingly began to accept the notion of an interconnected Greater France. Each of these expositions contained a group of colonial exhibits in which indigenous colonial subjects, whom the expositions' organizers handpicked to come to France, displayed their daily routines and interacted with the visiting public. Visitors witnessed the lifestyles of indigenous cultures and took away from the exhibits a greater understanding of those who lived in the colonies. However, the vast majority of the French public who visited the expositions did not experience a shift in their mindset favoring the continuance of a colonial empire until after World War One. Until they could personally see an impact of the colonies onto their daily lives, the French public remained indifferent toward the French state's colonial ventures.B.A.

En tant que centre le plus puissant de l'influence française en Afrique, l'Algérie sera la clef de voûte de l'empire africain. Plus généralement et cela dès le début de la colonisation, on observe que l'Algérie constitue une terre d'essai et d'aventure, et l'institution y a assez vite encouragé le développement des arts. Le monde de l'art de l'Algérie française se construit par la reproduction institutionnelle du système de la métropole. Certes, le musée des Beaux-Arts d'Alger est également né de la volonté des politiques. Il exerce un rôle fondamental en tant que stabilisateur de l'idéologie coloniale et baromètre de l'identité culturelle particulière de l'Algérie. Ses collections sont constituées avec l'objectif de représenter un panorama de l'art français et pas seulement celui de l'orientalisme. Par la volonté de faire la France en Algérie, les choix des œuvres ont été faits pour des raisons non seulement esthétique, mais également idéologiques. Une fois le musée inauguré, on met en œuvre un ambitieux programme d'enrichissement des collections. Cette thèse démontrera que le musée des Beaux-Arts d'Alger participe à l'édification coloniale à échelle nationale et locale par la constitution stratégique de ses collections. Sous la bannière du colonialisme, cette institution porte un plaidoyer culturel de l'autorité coloniale dépendante de la visibilité de leurs ordres. Entre la métropole et l'espace « périphérique», le musée des Beaux-Arts d'Alger et ses collections contribuent à dessiner le contour de l'identité de l'Algérie coloniale et postcoloniale en accomplissant leur rôle qui était de lier tout ce qui concerne les arts et les culturesAs the most powerful center of French influence in Africa, Algeria will be the keystone of the African empire. More generally, from the very beginning of colonization, Algeria is a land of experimentation and ad venture, and the institution has encouraged the development of the arts. The art world of French Algeria is built by the institutional reproduction of the metropolitan system. Of course, the Museum of Fine Arts of Algiers was also born of the will of the politicians. It exercises a fundamental role as a stabilizer of the colonial ideology and barometer of the particular cultural identity of Algeria. Its collections are constituted with the objective to represent a panorama of the French art and not only that of Orientalism. By the will to make France in Algeria, the choices of the art works are made for reasons not only aesthetic, but also ideological. Once the museum is inaugurated, an ambitious enrichment program is being implemented. This thesis will demonstrate that the Museum of Fine Arts of Algiers participates in the colonial construction on a national and local scale by the strategic constitution of its collections. Under the banner of colonialism, this institution carries a cultural advocacy of colonial authority dependent on the visibility of their orders. Between the metropolis and the "peripheral" space, the Algiers Museum of Fine Arts and its collections help to shape the identity of colonial and post-colonial Algeria by fulfilling their role of linking everything related to the arts and cultures

A group of Protestant refugees from Salzburg founded the town of Ebenezer, Georgia, in 1734. The Pietists at the Francke Foundation in Halle sent two pastors, Johann Martin Boltzius and Israel Christian Gronau, to lead the religious immigrants in their new settlement. As other historians have shown, the Halle sponsors wanted Ebenezer to fulfill their own purposes: establish social and religious autonomy under British colonial rule, reproduce the economic structure and institutions of social and religious reform of the Francke Foundation, and establish a successful Pietist ministry in North America. This study examines journals and correspondence from Ebenezer's pastors, British colonial authorities, and the German religious sponsors to reveal how different aspects of the Pietist vision were compromised until Ebenezer resembled a typical German-American settlement rather than a model Pietist community. Georgia's economic conditions, political pressures, and Ebenezer's internal demographic changes forced the pastors to sacrifice their goals for an orphanage, a free labor economy, and a closely structured community of persecuted Protestants. They ensured Ebenezer's economic success and social autonomy, but they were unable to replicate their sponsors' most distinctly Pietist economic, social and religious enterprises.M.A.

African American StudiesM.A.
From all cultures of people arises a worldview that is utilized in preserving societal order and cultural cohesiveness. When such worldview is distorted by a calamity such as enslavement, the victims of that calamity are left marginal within the worldview of the oppressive power. From the European Enslavement of Africans, or to use Marimba Ani’s term, the Maafa, arose the notion of European or White Supremacy. Such a notion, though emphatically false, has left many Africans in the Americas in a psychological state colloquially termed as “mental slavery”. The culprit that produced this oppressive condition is Eurocentricity and its utilization of the social theory white supremacy, which has maturated from theory into a paradigm for systemic racism. Often among African Americans there exists a profound sense of dislocation with fragmentary ideas of the correct path towards liberation and relocation. This has engendered the need for a paradigm to be utilized in relocating Africans back to their cultural center. To be sure, many Africans on the continent have not themselves sought value in returning to African ways of knowing. This is however also a product of white supremacy as European colonialism established such atmosphere on the African continent. Colonization and enslavement have impacted major aspects of African cultural and social relations. Much of the motif and ethos of Africa remained within the landscape and language. However, the fact that the challenge of decolonization even for the continental African is still quite daunting only further highlights the struggles of the descendants of the enslaved living in the Americas. The removal from geographic location and the near-destruction of indigenous language levied a heavy breach in defense against total acculturation. Despite this, among the African Americans, African culture exists though languishes under the pressures of white supremacy. A primary reason for such deterioration is the fact that, because of the effects of self-knowledge distortion brought on by the era of enslavement, many African Americans do not realize the African paradigms from which phenomena in African American cultures derive. Furthermore, the lack of a nationalistic culture impedes the collective ability to hold such phenomena sacred and preserve it for the sake of posterity. Today, despite the extant African culture, African Americans largely operate from European paradigms, as America itself is a European or “Western” project. The need for a paradigm shift in African-American cultural dynamics has been the call of many, however is perhaps best illuminated by Dr. Maulana Karenga when he states that we have a “popular culture” and not a nationalistic one. Black nationalism has been presented to Black People for over a century however it has varied greatly between different ideological camps. The variation and many conflictions of these different ideologies perhaps helped the stagnation of the Black Nationalist movement itself. An Afrocentric investigation into African paradigms and the Black Nationalist movements should yield results beneficial to African people living in the Americas.

England, Joseph. "The Colonial Legacy of Environmental Degradation in Nigeria's Niger River Delta." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2012. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/5198.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Nigeria's petroleum industry is the lynchpin of its economy. While oil has been the source of immense wealth for the nation, that wealth has come at a cost. Nigeria's main oil-producing region of the Niger River Delta has experienced tremendous environmental degradation as a result of decades of oil exploration and production. Although there have been numerous historical works on Nigeria's oil industry, there have been no in-depth analyses of the historical roots of environmental degradation over the full range of time from the colonial period to the present. This thesis contends that the environmental degradation of Nigeria's oil producing region of the Niger Delta is the direct result of the persistent non-implementation of regulatory policies by post-independence Nigerian governments working in collusion with oil multinationals. Additionally, the environmental neglect of Nigeria's primary oil-producing region is directly traceable back to the time of colonial rule. Vital to this argument is the view that the British colonial state created the economic institutions which promoted Nigerian economic dependency after independence was achieved in 1960. The weakness of Nigeria's post-colonial dependent system is exposed presently through the continued neglect of regulatory policies by successive post-colonial Nigerian governments.M.A.

'Post-colonial Dislocation and Amnesia: A Cure from Molefi Kete Asante's An Afrocentric Manifesto' aims at investigating the epistemological problems and theoretical inconsistencies in contemporary post-colonial studies. Capitalizing Molefi Kete Asante's theorizations on agency, location, identity, and history this project applies an Afrocentric approach in its reading of the post-colonial authors and theorists. While current postcolonial theory seems to be at stake with operationalizing many of its terms and concepts, the application of Afrocentric methods can help answering severe allegations raised by a number of critics against this discourse. Issues concerning spatial and temporal location of the term post-colonial, commodity status of post-colonialism, and crises in the post-colonial pedagogy can be addressed from an Afrocentric perspective based on a new historiography. To support the proposed arguments, the paper provides an extensive reading of two post-colonial writers from the Caribbean, and shows how they manipulate their apparent power in perpetuating the misrepresentations of the colonized people initiated by the colonial discourses. With a detailed discussion of the principles of Afrocentricity based on Asante's ground-breaking book An Afrocentric Manifesto, the paper proposes possible ways in which Afrocentric theory could be applied in addressing such misrepresentations and developing a true sense of identity for the oppressed people.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The native policy of Sir Theophilus Shepstone was influential in the evolution and formation of mid-nineteenth century Natal. From 1845 to the incorporation of Natal into the Union of South Africa in 1910, the native policy of Theophilus Shepstone dictated the organization and control of a native population of well over 100,000. The establishment and makeup of this system was an important institution in not only the history of Natal, but South Africa as a whole. While Shepstone was significantly impacted by the events of his early life, the main aspect of Shepstone's policy remained the Locations System. This system, created by the Commission for the Locating of the Natives in 1847, would dominate much of Shepstone's early career in Natal, especially the challenges made to the system during the formative years of the native policy. Shepstone's work in Natal would be called into question by several government officials, including Lieutenant-Governor of Natal Benjamin Pine. This conflict with the Natal government would eventually lead to Shepstone's abandonment of the Locations System for what would become known as his "Grand Removal Scheme." While the failure of this scheme would lead to the complete incorporation of the locations system, the longevity of the locations system itself is a product of the astuteness of Shepstone. While the colony of Natal was significantly impacted by economic and social factors, Shepstone remains one of the most influential figures in the evolution of the native policy of British Natal.M.A.

Political SciencePh.D.
This project is concerned with examining the impact of colonial administrations on post-independence state behavior in Southeast Asia. Despite a similar historical context, the region exhibits broad variation in terms of policy preferences after independence. Past literature has focused, largely, upon pre-colonial or independence era factors. This project, however, proposes that state behavior is heavily determined by a combination of three colonial variables: indigenous elite mobility, colonial income diversity, and institutional-infrastructure levels. It also constructs a four-category typology for the purposes of ordering the broad variation we see across post-colonial Southeast Asia. Utilizing heavy archival research and historical analysis, I examine three case studies in the region, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, that share a common colonial heritage yet exhibit markedly different post-independence preferences. Vietnam's colonial legacy is characterized by high indigenous elite mobility, medium colonial income diversity, and medium-high levels of institutional-infrastructure. This creates a state where the local elites are capable and socially mobile, but lack the fully developed skill sets, institutions and infrastructure we see in a Developmental state such as South Korea or Taiwan. As a result, Vietnam is a Power-Projection state, where elites pursue security oriented projects as a means of compensating for inequalities between their own social mobility and acquired skills, institutions and infrastructure. In Cambodia, indigenous elite mobility and colonial income diversity are both low, creating an entrenched, less experienced elite. Medium levels of institutional-infrastructure enables the elite to extract wealth for class benefit. As a result, the state becomes an instrument for elite enrichment and is thus classified as Self-Enrichment state. Laos' colonial history is characterized by low levels of indigenous elite mobility, colonial income diversity, and institutional-infrastructure levels. Laos' elite are deeply entrenched, like their counterparts in Cambodia. However, unlike Cambodia, Laos lacks sufficient institutional-infrastructure levels to make wealth extraction worthwhile for an elite class. Laos' inability to execute an internal policy course, or even enrich narrow social class, categorize it as a Null state. The theory and typology presented in this project have broad applications to Southeast Asia and the post-colonial world more generally. It suggests that the colonial period, counter to more recent literature, has a much greater impact on states after independence. As most of the world is a post-colonial state, understanding the mechanisms for preferences in these states is very important.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This thesis examines the changes that occurred in the French identity of Huguenot immigrants to colonial Carolina. In their pursuit of prosperity and religious toleration, the Huguenots' identity evolved from one of French religious refugees to that of white South Carolinians. How and why this evolution occurred is the focus of this study. Upon arriving in the colony in the 1680s and 1690s, the Huguenots' identity was based on several common factors: their French language, their Calvinist religion, and their French heritage. As the immigrant group began to build their new lives in Carolina, these identifying factors began to disappear. The first generation's identity evolved from French immigrants to British subjects when they were challenged on the issues of their political and religious rights and, in response to these challenges, requested to become naturalized subjects. The second generation faced economic challenges that pitted planters against the wealthier merchants in a colony-wide debate over the printing of paper currency. This conflict created divisions within the Huguenot group as well and furthered their identity from British subjects to planters or merchants. Another shift in the Huguenots' identity took place within the third generation when they were faced with a slave uprising in 1739. The Huguenots' involvement in finding a legislative solution to the revolt completes this evolutionary process as the grandchildren of the immigrant generation become white South Carolinians. This thesis expands the historical data available on immigrant groups and their behaviors within colonial settlements.M.A.

Poverty and underdevelopment plague millions of people in the world today. Interestingly, the 800 million people that are currently living on less than a dollar a day correlate very closely with the 750 million people who were under colonial subjugation in 1945. In an effort to understand how the disparities in development came about, the theory of self-determination will be defined and historically assessed. Through qualitative evaluation of the principle and history of self-determination and case studies on three key regions that have never known genuine self-rule, it will become clear that the doctrine of self-determination only ever existed in rhetoric. Resource trap theory will be applied to those who have been plagued by outside rule and a general assessment of the state of self-determination in the world will be given. Lastly, an argument for what right transcendently will be given based on the current state of affairs and on Kantian ethics.B.A.

Over the course of the nineteenth century, the Hawaiian sugar industry rose from economic insignificance to become one of the world’s most efficient and productive sugarcane plantation systems. "Planter's Paradise" traces the transnational environmental history of cane planting in Hawaiʻi, from Polynesian settlement to the early twentieth century, to explore how an export-based mono-culture plantation system eclipsed diversified farming, how cultural encounters between indigenous and Euro-American groups influenced agriculture and natural resource use, and how the politics of planting contributed to the rise of American hegemony over the islands. With research grounded in plantation records, agricultural association publications, popular media, and personal correspondence, I address sugarcane planting as a point where ideas about nature, methods of converting nature into commodities for consumption in distant markets, and nature itself influenced each other within the context of U.S. imperial expansion. I argue that the ascendance of Hawaiʻi’s sugar industry was the result of cultural encounters, economic relations, and environmental conditions at the local level, but cane planting also connected the archipelago to particular transnational networks of economic, ecological, and cultural exchange. Sugarcane planting introduced to Hawaiʻi foreign ways of relating to the natural world, a host of alien organisms, and advances in agricultural science and technology that impacted all of Hawaiian society. These introductions contributed to planters' power. By the early twentieth century, Hawaiʻi had become a planter's paradise: a society and environment transformed for the industrial cultivation of sugarcane.

Many nation-states have their potential for growth hindered by the involvement of developed nations. These low-income nation-states are primarily located on the continent of Africa. There are three parts to this phenomenon of neocolonialism which is the process of continuing involvement of developed nations in developing nations that creates a negative growth in those nations. The research I've conducted is in three parts. The first consists of analyzing the social construction of neocolonialism, how the phenomenon occurs, and where it stems from. The second part is to show how this involvement is damaging to the developing nations. I will use examples such as the multinational corporation profit recycling, the life of foreign aid, and unwise economic deals. As it turns out the phenomena brings on the hindrance of developing in the low-income nation. The last part of my research is to come up with an economic improvement plan. For instance, rather than country A trading money (or some monetary value) for a resource in country B, "A" would build a school, hospital, or infrastructure in "B" to improve the conditions in the low-income nation. It is hypothesized that will leave room for growth in both nations without creating harmful economic repercussions because money would be taken out of the equation.B.A.

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate that the rational-legal bureaucratic institutions inherited by post-colonial states from their former colonial patrons have clashed with indigenous cultural norms, leading to legitimation failure. This lack of legitimacy, in turn, leads to political and bureaucratic corruption among the individuals tasked with embodying and enforcing the norms of these bureaucratic institutions. Instances of corruption such as bribery and solicitation of bribes, misappropriation of public funds, nepotistic hiring practices, and the general placement of personal gain over the rule of law on the part of officials weaken the state’s ability and willingness to enforce its laws, promote stability and economic growth, and ensure the welfare of its citizens. This corruption and its multidimensional detrimental effects on the lives of citizens are forms of what has been called structural violence. In this project, I examine four case studies of Indian subnational states that have experienced varying degrees and types of colonial bureaucratic imposition, resulting in divergent structurally violent outcomes. Deeming these systems “violent” has normative implications regarding responsibility for the problems of the post-colonial world. Corruption is often cited as a reason not to give loans or aid to certain developing countries; but viewing the matter in terms of structural violence highlights the need for not only economic assistance but also institutional overhaul.

HistoryPh.D.
On December 11, 1782 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, a fifty-two year old English immigrant named William Beadle murdered his wife and four children and took his own life. Beadle’s erstwhile friends were aghast. William was no drunk. He was not abusive, foul-tempered, or manifestly unstable. Since arriving in 1772, Beadle had been a respected merchant in Wethersfield good society. Newspapers, pamphlets, and sermons carried the story up and down the coast. Writers quoted from a packet of letters Beadle left at the scene. Those letters disclosed Beadle’s secret allegiance to deism and the fact that the War for Independence had ruined Beadle financially, in his mind because he had acted like a patriot not a profiteer. Authors were especially unnerved with Beadle’s mysterious past. In a widely published pamphlet, Stephen Mix Mitchell, Wethersfield luminary and Beadle’s one-time closest friend, sought answers in Beadle’s youth only to admit that in ten years he had learned almost nothing about the man print dubbed a “monster.” This macabre story of family murder, and the fretful writing that carried the tale up and down the coast, is the heart of my dissertation. A microhistory, the project uses the transatlantic life, death, and print “afterlife” of William Beadle to explore alienation, anonymity, and unease in Britain’s Atlantic empire. The very characteristics that made the Atlantic world a vibrant, dynamic space—migration, commercial expansion, intellectual exchange, and revolutionary politics, to name a few—also made anxiety and failure ubiquitous in that world. Atlantic historians have described a world where white migrants crisscrossed the ocean to improve their lives, merchants created new wealth that eroded the power of landed gentry, and ideas fueled Enlightenment and engendered revolutions. The Atlantic world was indeed such a place. Aside from conquest and slavery, however, Atlantic historians have tended to elide the uglier sides of that early modern Atlantic world. William Beadle crossed the ocean three times and recreated himself in Barbados and New England, but migrations also left him rootless—unknown and perhaps unknowable. Transatlantic commerce brought exotic goods to provincial Connecticut and extended promises of social climbing, but amid imperial turmoil, the same Atlantic economy rapidly left such individuals financially bereft. Innovative ideas like deism crossed oceans in the minds of migrants, but these ideas were not always welcome. Beadle joined the cause of the American Revolution, but amid civil war, it was easy to run afoul of neighboring patriots always on the lookout for Loyalists. Beadle was far from the only person to suffer these anxieties. In the aftermath of the tragedy, commentators strained to make sense of the incident and Beadle’s writings in light of similar Atlantic fears. The story resonated precisely because it raised worries that had long bubbled beneath the surface: the anonymous neighbor from afar, the economic crash out of nowhere, modern ideas that some found exhilarating but others found distressing, and violent conflict between American and English. In his print afterlife, William Beadle became a specter of the Atlantic world. As independence was won, he haunted Americans as well, as commentators worried he was a sign that the American project was doomed to fail.

In the cities of Richmond, Virginia; Charleston South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Baltimore, Maryland, this dissertation endeavors to find out what can be learned about the archaeology(s) of Black memory(s) through Africological Epistemic Visual Storytelling (AEVS); their silences, their hauntings, their wake work, and their healing? This project is concerned with elucidating new African memories and African knowledges that emerge from a two-tier Afrocentric analysis of Eurocentric cartography that problematizes the dual hegemony of the colonial archive of public memory and the colonial map by using an Afrocentric methodology that deploys a Black Digital Humanities research design to create an African agentic ritual archive that counters the colonial one. Additionally, this dissertation explains the importance of understanding the imperial geographic logics inherent in the hegemonically quotidian cartographies of Europe and the United States that sanction white supremacist narratives of memory and suppress spatial imaginations and memories in African communities primarily, but Native American communities as well. It is the hope of the primary researcher that from this project knowledge will be gained about how African people can use knowledge gained from analyzing select monuments/sites of memorialization for the purposes of asserting agency, resisting, and possibly breaking the supposed correctness of the colonial map.

EnglishPh.D.
This dissertation examines the body of literature that formed around anomalous light apparitions (comets, new stars, the aurora borealis, and rainbows) as it explores questions about the representation and response to celestial and meteorological phenomena during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in colonial America. I further consider the ways that these texts’ meanings are informed by rational scientific thought and by other non-scientific or non-rational, emotive, or aesthetic modes of thinking. I consider how these phenomena elicit a set of empirical yet emotionally-charged observational practices that complicate how we understand the roles of the rational and the non-rational in the scientific literature of this period. I argue that non-rational passionate investments are evident within or as part of the period’s rational scientific literature; they act as the impetus for scientific inquiry therefore forming an integral part of the scientific endeavor. This dissertation further explores how the practice of writing about these phenomena generates and facilitates the formation of communities of amateur scientific observers in colonial America. I further investigate how practices of data collection contribute to knowledge about the regular and irregular behaviors of celestial bodies, and how this knowledge impacts everyday practices essential for survival such as farming and travelling. What science writing from this period demonstrates is the ability for multiple ways of thinking to be in play simultaneously; these texts show how several worldviews (i.e. science, Puritanism, popular religion) are intrinsic to each other. Because of their liminality, these texts function outside of traditional categories such science, religion, and natural philosophy. Furthermore, they destabilize traditional conceptions of genre with their blend of rational and non-rational modes of thought and their incorporation of fact and fiction. While I treat these literary texts within their historical contexts, I am also interested in the ways in which these texts reach modern audiences, particularly in academia at a time when the humanities and sciences are positioned against one another.

This paper examines Free World articles covering anticommunism, modernization, decolonization, intra-regionalism, US foreign affairs, US foreign aid, and neocolonialism because the task of popularizing specific iterations of these ideas illustrated the implementation of the ideas formulated in NSC 48/5. Moreover, NSC 48/5 called non-communist Asia the location of “the most immediate threats to American National Security.” My paper seeks to answer the question of how American propaganda in Asia, seen through a case study of Free World, tried to accomplish this popularization objective. I argue that the United States Information Agency (USIA) masked America’s neocolonialist intentions and activities in East and Southeast Asia through a rhetoric of anticommunism, intra-regionalism, and modernization.

In 1972, a flood tore through Rapid City, South Dakota, killing 238 people. Many whose lives and homes were destroyed lived in a predominately Native American neighborhood known as “Osh Kosh Camp.” This dissertation asks: why did those people lived in that neighborhood at that time? The answer lies at the intersection of the histories of race and environment in the American West. In the Black Hills region, white Americans racialized certain spaces under the conceptual framework of Indian Country as part of the process of American conquest on the northern plains beginning in the mid-nineteenth century. The American project of racializing Western spaces erased Indians from histories of Rapid City, a process most obviously apparent in the construction of Mount Rushmore as a tourist attraction. Despite this attempted erasure, Indians continued to live and work in the city and throughout the Black Hills. In Rapid City, rampant discrimination forced Native Americans in Rapid City to live in neighborhoods cut off from city services, including Osh Kosh Camp After the flood, activists retook the Indian Country concept as a tool of protest. This dissertation claims that environment and race must be understood together in the American West.

Cette thèse s'appuie sur l'extraction de données historiques originales puisées dans les archives de l'ancienne Afrique Occidentale Française. Elle est tout d'abord consacrée à la question du bilan économique de l'expérience coloniale pour la France. Je montre que la question n'est pas réglée et apporte une réponse quant au coût direct de la colonisation de l'Afrique Occidentale Française pour l'Etat français : il a été extrêmement faible, en moyenne 0,1 % des dépenses de l'Etat. Le peu d’investissements publics réalisés pendant la période coloniale a été financé presque en totalité par les populations africaines elles-mêmes. En s'appuyant sur !es techniques de l'économétrie, cette thèse s'intéresse ensuite aux effets de long terme de la colonisation française sur le développement et les inégalités régionales au sein de l'ancienne Afrique Occidentale Française. Je montre d'abord que les investissements publics effectués pendant la période coloniale ont créé des inégalités persistantes entre les régions de l'ancienne AOF : la scolarisation, la santé infantile, et les niveaux d’équipement actuels des ménages ouest-africains restent plus élevés dans les régions qui ont bénéficié d’investissements publics plus importants au début de la période coloniale. Enfin, je montre, que les régions dans lesquelles les colons européens ont été relativement plus nombreux ont aujourd'hui un développement relativement plus élevé. La présence européenne a entraîné sur un siècle des modifications dans la répartition du leadership régional : certaines régions très dynamiques ont perdu leur place au profit de régions secondaires, préférées pas les colons pour leur plus grande hospitalité politiqueThis PhD dissertation uses first-hand historical data on colonial French West Africa. First, I focus on the costs and benefits of colonial experience for France and its former colonies. I review the existing literature and show that evidence on whether colonialism was a costly or beneficiary experience for France is not clear yet. Then I provide an answer on the direct cost of French West Africa for French public expenses: this cost turns out to be very small -on average 0. 1 % of all public expenses. Few public investments were made during colonial times and almost all of them were financed by local population itself. Using econometrics, the thesis then seeks to provide evidence on the long term impact of colonial experience on current performances. I show that early colonial public investments m education, health and public works had large and persistent effects on current outcomes, and that a major channel for the long term effect of early investments is a strong persistence of investments: regions that got more of a specific type of investment at the early colonial times continued to get more of this particular type of investment. Finally, I give evidence that Europeans tended to settle in more prosperous pre-colonial areas and that the European settlement had a strong positive impact on current outcomes. I argue that the African hostility towards colonial power to colonisation provides a random variation in European settlement. Despite, the absence of a "reversal of fortune" within former French West Africa, some of the most prosperous pre-colonial areas lost their advantage because of their hostility: other areas caught up and became the new leaders in the region

Based on the Critical Theory and on an archival anthropology, this paper aims to (re) introduce and contextualize the colonial collection of human remains collected by the team headed by Santos Junior, Head of the Anthropological Mission of Mozambique (MAM), which is stored at the National Museum. of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC). This investigation also unfolds in the identification of the Other, race and science in physical anthropology carried out in the former Portuguese colony, Mozambique, between 1936 and 1956; It also presents the current discussions on Western universal museums that hold colonial collections, as well as showing the arguments of the New Museology and the current repatriation issues. Ahead, it contextualizes historically and socially Portuguese anthropology in the twentieth century and highlights the role of the School of Porto and António Mendes Correia in the production and influence of the discipline in the colonial policies of the state. Finally, it presents Santos Júnior's colonial archive, the colonial collection of human remains, the material and symbolic institutional trajectory of the estate and initiates a debate about the ethical and scientific contexts of the collection.

This work addresses the following question: How has the prominent scholarly literature on the Cayman Islands promoted a discourse that serves to undermine the acknowledgment of African contributions as well as African self-identification in the country? Utilizing an Afrocentric inquiry, the method of content analysis was employed to interrogate selected texts using location theory. It was found that the majority of literature on the Cayman Islands, as well as the dominant ideology within the Caribbean has indeed undermined the acknowledgement of African contributions as well as African self-identification in the country. More scholarship is needed that examines the experiences of African descended people living in the Caribbean from their own perspective, and critically engages dislocated texts.

En politique rien ne semble possible sans références culturelles, sans la mobilisation d’un imaginaire collectif. Avec la déclaration de nombreux Etats de leur caractère multiculturel au cours de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, qui reconnurent l’existence de différences culturelles au sein de la Nation, conjointement à une vague de patrimonialisation de nouveaux référents communs « multiculturels », les musées intégrèrent progressivement ce discours au sein de leurs expositions et de leurs collections. Ce sera tout particulièrement le cas des musées ethnologiques des « Autres », créés en lien avec l’affirmation de la Modernité et donnant lieu à la consolidation de l’Anthropologie, la science de « l’Autre ».
Alors que ce multiculturalisme fait partie d'un nouveau paradigme, inauguré au cours des années 1970, basé sur une perception culturalisante de la structuration des sociétés, ces musées, créés pour la plupart entre le dernier quart du XIXe siècle et le premier quart du XXe siècle, intégrèrent en effet plus que n’importe quels autres cette réflexion au sein de laquelle ils étaient censés jouer un rôle important au travers de la mise en place de nouvelles pratiques. Ainsi, alors qu’ils étaient plongés dans une profonde crise depuis les années 1960-1970, cette intégration du multiculturalisme engendra la rénovation de la plupart d’entre eux en Europe, entre les années
2000 et 2010, donnant lieu à d’immenses projets muséaux vantant la modernité des villes et pays les accueillant, ouverts sur le monde et ses différences culturelles.
A partir d’une conception anthropologique de l’institution muséale en tant que lieu de diffusion de valeurs, symboliquement et culturellement construit et ayant des effets sociaux sur la conceptualisation du monde, cette thèse traite de l’intégration de ce multiculturalisme dans les musées ethnologiques et leur rénovation, fondamentalement européens, en se concentrant sur ses effets muséologiques et sur l’évolution des politiques de collections. Pour ce faire, elle se base sur une méthodologie classique issue des sciences humaines et sociales caractérisée par une double phase.
La première est constituée d'une profonde recherche bibliographique, qui mit en place un quadruple cadre théorique comprenant l’analyse anthropologique de la représentation offerte par les musées (Stocking, Clifford, Bouquet, Ames, Jones, Kirshenblatt-Gimblett), l’analyse des liens existant entre les musées et les communautés (Simpson, Lavine et Karp, Dubuc et Turgeon, Peers), le rôle du musée dans la promotion du multiculturalisme (Clifford, Bennett, Watson) et, finalement, le rôle et le statut des collections (Hainard, Davallon).
La deuxième phase de la méthodologie est composée d'une double phase de recherche de terrain empirique basée sur l’observation et sur une série d’entretiens, premièrement au cours de courtes visites d’exploration au sein d’un grand nombre de musées européens et, deuxièmement, lors d’un travail de terrain en profondeur mené dans trois institutions (le Musée des Tropiques d’Amsterdam, le Musée royal de l’Afrique centrale de Tervuren et le Musée des cultures du monde de Göteborg). Ces institutions, comprises comme microcosmes du panorama muséologique et muséographique mondial, sont en effet intégrées dans des territoires nationaux aux caractéristiques claires et différenciées, notamment en termes de réflexion multiculturelle, constituant de la sorte des terrains d'étude riches pour leur comparaison.
Ainsi, cette double phase de recherche donna lieu à une série de considérations qui permettent de dresser un état des lieux du panorama ethnomuséologique actuel, déterminé par une nouvelle approche de la diversité culturelle mais également par une certaine hétérogénéité à l'heure d'intégrer cette réflexion. Cette thèse permet ainsi de déterminer les logiques de cette intégration, ses influences et ses modèles théoriques et muséaux, afin d’évaluer dans quelle mesure cette dernière s'assimile à la tradition historique de l’institution. Finalement, à partir de cette exploration, cette thèse permettra d’apporter une somme de considérations quant aux conséquences et aux limites de cette intégration du multiculturalisme, non seulement muséales mais également sociales en tant que paradigme d'analyse des sociétés et de modèle de gestion des différences qui leur sont inhérentes.In politics nothing seems possible without the mobilisation of a collective imagination. With the declaration of many countries of their multicultural character during the second half of the twentieth century, along with a wave of patrimonialization of new common multicultural referents, museums gradually integrated this discourse in their exhibitions and collections. This will especially be the case of the Ethnological Museums, created in the context of Modernity and resulting in the consolidation of Anthropology, the science of "the others". These museums integrated more than any other institutions that reflection in which they were supposed to play an important role through the implementation of new practices. As such, while they were plunged into a deep crisis in the years 1960-1970, this integration of multiculturalism in Europe begat the renovation of most of them between 2000 and 2010, through huge museum projects that aimed at boasting the modernity of cities and countries in which they were created, seen as open to the world and its cultural differences. From an anthropological conception of the museum as symbolically and culturally constructed having social effects on the conceptualization of the world, this thesis discusses the integration of multiculturalism in European ethnological museums focusing on its museological effects and on the development of their collections policies. This thesis is therefore based on a methodological approach composed of a double phase. The first consists of a deep bibliographic research, which established a quadruple theoretical framework while the second phase consists of a double empirical field research phase based on observation and a series of interviews, firstly in a large number of European museums and, secondly, an in- depth research in three national museums with clear and differentiated characteristics in terms of multicultural reflection.
