Du Maroc à la Chine, l’Orient n’a pas cessé de fasciner un Occident partagé à son égard entre la convoitise et la peur, l’enchantement et la répulsion, le désir de connaître et la volonté de conquête. De la Renaissance à nos jours, des hommes le plus souvent, des femmes quelquefois, ont parcouru les routes lointaines, appris des langues inouïes, observé des moeurs étranges et rapporté de leurs voyages des images, des manuscrits, des objets, des récits et des fables. D’autres en ont rêvé, parlé, sans jamais s’y rendre. Si le terme d’« orientaliste » nous reste surtout pour qualifier des productions largement fantasmatiques (peinture, romans), il est d’abord attaché à une discipline savante qui s’est inscrite dans des cadres institutionnels solides. Il y eut aussi des cohortes de voyageurs, de missionnaires, d’informateurs, des collectionneurs, des prédateurs parfois, qui ont parcouru l’Orient sous toutes ses latitudes et en ont rapporté quelque chose. Artistes et savants, hommes célèbres et modestes médiateurs, éminents professeurs et aventuriers ambitieux, auteurs de chefs-d’oeuvre reconnus ou de travaux obscurs : ils sont un millier regroupés dans ce Dictionnaire des orientalistes de langue française par les soins d’une équipe pluridisciplinaire de spécialistes. À son apogée, au XIXe siècle, l’orientalisme fut contemporain de l’expansion impérialiste. Aussi est-il la cible, depuis la fin des Empires coloniaux, d’une dénonciation qui se voudrait sans appel. Sans ignorer ce procès ni en casser le jugement, ce dictionnaire entend montrer que la population des agents et porteurs de ces savoirs est infiniment variée et qu’elle échappe aux simplifications réductrices : toute la gamme des motivations, des plus désintéressées au plus sauvagement pragmatiques, nous offre un échantillon d’humanité qui, avec ses grandeurs et ses travers, doit faire finalement la trame d’un certain humanisme. Amendée, complétée, mise à jour, cette nouvelle version est fidèle aux choix qui ont présidé à l'élaboration de ce dictionnaire, et au désir de ses concepteurs de fournir un jalon dans le débat critique qui entoure l'orientalisme. Elle a trouvé un double prolongement : d'une part dans un colloque conclusif, qui a lui-même pris la forme d'un ouvrage intitulé : Après l'orientalisme, l'Orient créé par l'Orient (IISMM/Karthala, 2011) ; d'autre part dans un site internet http://dictionnairedesorientalistes.ehess.fr, qui accueille en continu corrections et nouvelles notices, mais aussi diverses pièces complémentaires (comptes rendus, textes d'interventions, etc.), et en constitue ainsi un complément indispensable, constamment remis à jour et enrichi. François Pouillon est anthropologue, spécialiste du monde arabe, directeur d’études à l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales, où il a dirigé le Centre d’histoire sociale de l’Islam méditerranéen.

In the wake of the monstrous projects of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and others in the twentieth century, the idea of utopia has been discredited. Yet, historian Jay Winter suggests, alongside the “major utopians” who murdered millions in their attempts to transform the world were disparate groups of people trying in their own separate ways to imagine a radically better world. This original book focuses on some of the twentieth-century’s “minor utopias” whose stories, overshadowed by the horrors of the Holocaust and the Gulag, suggest that the future need not be as catastrophic as the past. The book is organized around six key moments when utopian ideas and projects flourished in Europe: 1900 (the Paris World's Fair), 1919 (the Paris Peace Conference), 1937 (the Paris exhibition celebrating science and light), 1948 (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), 1968 (moral indictments and student revolt), and 1992 (the emergence of visions of global citizenship). Winter considers the dreamers and the nature of their dreams as well as their connections to one another and to the history of utopian thought. By restoring minor utopias to their rightful place in the recent past, Winter fills an important gap in the history of social thought and action in the twentieth century.

It is a sign of the accepted evidentiary status of photographs that historians regularly append them to their accounts, Amos Morris-Reich observes. Very often, however, these photographs are treated as mere illustrations, simple documentations of the events that transpired. Scholars of photography, on the other hand, tend to prioritize the photographs themselves, relegating the historical contexts to the background. For Morris-Reich, however, photography exists within reality; it partakes in and is very much a component of the history it records. Morris-Reich examines how photography affects categories of history and experience, how it is influenced by them, and the ways in which our understanding of the relationship between history and photography can be theorized and reoriented. Morris-Reich here turns to five twentieth-century cases in which photography and Jewish history intersect: Albert Kahn’s utopian attempt to establish a photographic archive in Paris in order to advance world peace; the spectacular failed project of Helmar Lerski, the most prominent photographer in British Mandate Jewish Palestine; photography in the long career of Eugen Fischer, a Nazi professor of genetics; the street photography of Robert Frank; and the first attempt to introduce photography into the study of Russian Jewry prior to World War I, as seen from the post-Holocaust perspective of the early twenty-first century. Illustrated with nearly 100 images, Photography and Jewish History moves beyond a focus on Jewish photographers or the photographic representation of Jews or Jewish visibility to plumb the deeper and more significant registers of twentieth-century Jewish political history.

The role of aerial photography in the evolution of the concept of social space”and its impact on French urban planning in the mid-twentieth century. In mid-twentieth century France, the term “social space” (l'espace social)—the idea that spatial form and social life are inextricably linked—emerged in a variety of social science disciplines. Taken up by the French New Left, it also came to inform the practice of urban planning. In The View from Above, Jeanne Haffner traces the evolution of the science of social space from the interwar period to the 1970s, illuminating in particular the role of aerial photography in this new way of conceptualizing socio-spatial relations. As early as the 1930s, the view from above served for Marcel Griaule and other anthropologists as a means of connecting the social and the spatial. Just a few decades later, the Marxist urban sociologist Henri Lefebvre called the perspective enabled by aerial photography—a technique closely associated with the French colonial state and military—“the space of state control.” Lefebvre and others nevertheless used the notion of social space to recast the problem of massive modernist housing projects (grands ensembles) to encompass the modern suburb (banlieue) itself—a critique that has contemporary resonance in light of the banlieue riots of 2005 and 2007. Haffner shows how such “views” permitted new ways of conceptualizing the old problem of housing to emerge. She also points to broader issues, including the influence of the colonies on the metropole, the application of sociological expertise to the study of the built environment, and the development of a spatially oriented critique of capitalism.

Despite altruistic goals, humanitarianism often propagates foreign, and sometimes unjust, power structures where it is employed. Tracing the visual rhetoric of French colonial humanitarianism, Peter J. Bloom's unexpected analysis reveals how the project of remaking the colonies in the image of France was integral to its national identity. French Colonial Documentary investigates how the promise of universal citizenship rights in France was projected onto the colonies as a form of evolutionary interventionism. Bloom focuses on the promotion of French education efforts, hygienic reform, and new agricultural techniques in the colonies as a means of renegotiating the social contract between citizens and the state on an international scale. Bloom's insightful readings disclose the pervasiveness of colonial iconography, including the relationship between "natural man" and colonial subjectivity; representations of the Senegalese Sharpshooters as obedient, brave, and sexualized colonial subjects; and the appeal of exotic adventure narratives in the trans-Saharan film genre. Examining the interconnection between French documentary realism and the colonial enterprise, Bloom demonstrates how the colonial archive is crucial to contemporary Peter J.

An attempt to locate cinema alongside philosophy, painting, geography and travel in terms of a history of modernism. The book focuses on a collection of geographical and ethnographic films and photographs amassed by banker Albert Kahn, in the 1900s - arguably an instance of French modernism.
