Summary:
Les musées sont devenus en une génération l’une des institutions culturelles les mieux considérées et les plus fréquentées à travers le monde. La préoccupation des publics, désormais centrale, illustre une politique de développement culturel tandis que la multiplication des collections nourrit une redéfinition des patrimoines. L’organisation des établissements, davantage professionnelle, répond à des exigences politiques et sociales, mais aussi à des contraintes éthiques et communicationnelles inédites ; en particulier, les impératifs de la médiation et de l’exposition entraînent l’apparition de nouveaux métiers. L’analyse de l’institution s’inscrit au croisement de l’anthropologie de la culture, de la sociologie du travail ou des organisations, et de l’histoire des objets.

Summary:
Le visible semble littéralement déborder d’images (plus de trois milliards d’entre elles circulent chaque jour sur les réseaux sociaux). Ce trop-plein, cette surproduction, il faut les gérer. Il faut stocker les images, les transporter, les formater, organiser leurs échanges et leurs flux. Elles requièrent des infrastructures routières (les câbles Internet), des formes inédites de travail (les modérateurs de contenu, les ouvriers du clic). Et elles transforment notre regard, elles le mobilisent comme il ne l’a jamais été. En observant les mutations parallèles de l’économie financiarisée à l’ère des cryptomonnaies, les œuvres et les textes ici réunis cherchent à saisir, à penser cette nouvelle iconomie de la visibilité. Textes d’Emmanuel Alloa, Hervé Aubron, Matthias Bruhn, Yves Citton, Elena Esposito, Jean-Joseph Goux, Maurizio Lazzarato, Catherine Malabou, Marie Rebecchi et Elena Vogman, Antonio Somaini, Peter Szendy, Leah Temper, Dork Zabunyan.
