Résumé:
The 1931 international colonial exposition in Paris was a demonstration of French colonial policy, colonial architecture and urban planning, and the scientific and philosophical theories that justified colonialism. The exposition displayed the people, material culture, raw materials, manufactured goods, and arts of the global colonial empires. Yet the event gave a contradictory message of the colonies as the "Orient"--the site of rampant sensuality, decadence, and irrationality--and as the laboratory of Western rationality. In "Hybrid modernities", Patricia Morton shows how the exposition failed to keep colonialism's two spheres separate, instead creating hybrids of French and native culture. At the exposition, French pavilions demonstrated Europe's sophistication in art deco style, while the colonial pavilions were "authentic" native environments for displaying indigenous peoples and artifacts from the colonies. The authenticity of these pavilions' exteriors was contradicted by vaguely exotic interiors filled with didactic exhibition stands and dioramas. Intended to maintain a segregation of colonized and colonizer, the colonial pavilions instead were mixtures of European and native architecture. Anticolonial resistance erupted around the Exposition in the form of protests, anticolonial tracts, and a countercolonial exposition produced by the Surrealists. Thus the Exposition occupied a "middle region" of experience where the norms, rules, and systems of French colonialism both emerged and broke down, unsustainable because of their internal contradictions. As Morton shows, the effort to segregate France and her colonies failed, both at the colonial exposition and in greater France, because it was constantly undermined by the hybrids that modern colonialism itself produced.

Résumé:
Has corporate business overtaken the art world? It's no secret that art and business have always mixed, but their relationship today sparks more questions than ever. "Museum, inc." describes the new art conglomerates from an insider's perspective, probing how their roots run deep into corporate culture. Paul Werner draws on his nine years at the Guggenheim Museum to reveal that contemporary art museums have not broken radically with the past, as often claimed. Rather, Werner observes, they are the logical outcome of the evolution of cultural institutions rooted in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the colonial expansion of the liberal nation-state, and the rhetoric of democracy. Werner critically analyzes today's art institutions and reframes the public's accepted view of them, exposing how their apparent success belies the troubling forces operating within them. He ultimately argues that the art museum we know and love may have already run its course. An engaging discourse structured as an informal gallery talk, "Museum, inc." is a thought-provoking and passionate polemic that offers ideas for a new, more democratic museum.

Résumé:
Le Centre Pompidou a la garde d’un patrimoine exceptionnel couvrant la création dans toute sa diversité depuis le début du XXe siècle jusqu’à la période la plus contemporaine. Avec la création d’un site à Metz, il fait franchir une nouvelle étape à la politique de diffusion extérieure engagée en 1997, lors de ses travaux de rénovation. Le projet messin se veut un exemple ambitieux de décentralisation. L’institution messine va bénéficier, en 2007, d’un projet architectural choisi au terme d’un concours international d’architecture, comme l’avait été, en son temps, le bâtiment de Paris conçu par Renzo Piano et Richard Rogers. Ce projet situé dans le quartier de l’Amphithéâtre, s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un vaste programme de rénovation urbaine engagé par la Ville de Metz.

Résumé:
Discipline émergente, la muséologie se situe à l'intersection de différents domaines des sciences sociales. Elle est sociologie lorsqu'elle questionne la place du musée dans la société et qu'elle analyse ses publics. Elle est pédagogie par la prise en compte de la mission didactique de l'institution muséale. Elle participe pleinement des sciences de la communication au sein desquelles ses spécificités restent largement à explorer. Elle est aussi histoire puisque celle-ci lui est intimement liée par la dimension patrimoniale du musée. L'ambition de cet ouvrage est de couvrir le très large éventail des points de vue portés sur le musée, de montrer leurs interrelations et de mettre en lumière les conditions de l'équilibre - nécessaire - entre les différentes fonctions que le musée est appelé à exercer au sein de la société. De nombreux exemples illustrent le propos et offrent un aller-retour permanent entre théorie et pratique. L'ouvrage s'intéresse à l'ensemble des musées quelle qu'en soit la nature. Les spécificités (musées d'art, de sciences, de société, etc.) sont abordées lorsque nécessaire. Plutôt que de souligner les différences, les auteurs ont préféré mettre l'accent sur les points communs et les convergences, afin de dégager les traits spécifiques de l'institution muséale. Synthèse fondée sur les publications les plus récentes, cette introduction à la muséologie s'adresse à tous les étudiants concernés, ainsi qu'aux professionnels des musées, aux chercheurs en sciences humaines et à tous ceux que le monde des musées intéresse.

Résumé:
"Museum Studies: An Anthology of Contexts" provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary collection of approaches to museums and their relation to history, culture, philosophy and their adoring or combative publics. This book brings together for the first time a wide array of texts that mix contemporary analysis with historical documentation. It includes five sections that highlight central themes in museum studies: issue-oriented contexts in museology; states of "nature"; the status of nations; history, memory and other locations; and arts, crafts and visitors. It also addresses the development of museums, the role of the museum in society, and issues central to contemporary museum studies opening with an introductory essay that situates museum studies in a truly interdisciplinary context and including an opening essay for each section that guides the reader through the selections. Finally, the anthology includes a bibliography and list of resources devoted to museum studies that makes the volume an authoritative guide on the subject.

Résumé:
Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement. It entails the deployment of pleasure, the built-up of passion, and obsession vis-à-vis a particular field of endeavour, the grounds on which a discipline operates, and its intellectual as well as physical practices. Notwithstanding the optimistic implications of such a claim, teaching inevitably involves a contradictory bias both in favour as well as against the discipline at issue, promoting an understanding of its regulating principles while at the same time questioning the seemingly secure bases on which it is presumed to stand. Whereas teaching is affirmative, it simultaneously introduces a distancing from the very subject matter that it promotes.
