“From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature”

2016

This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century. One of the main motivations behind the associations between Native Americans and the Ancient World made in the early decades of the nineteenth century was to “elevate” Indians in order to transform them into worthy symbols of the recently established United States. Such associations also rendered them suitable subjects for treatment by authors inspired to a large extent by the Romantic Moveme…

Antoine Traisnel, Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition

2021

You can’t judge a book by its cover. Or so they say. But the cover of Antoine Traisnel’s Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition is striking and, one is tempted to say, captivating. And so is the book. The cover features colorful images of various birds—such as the ruby-throated hummingbird, the tufted coquette or the buff-tailed sicklebill—taken from one of the most impressive plates in Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature) and interlaced on ...

Romain D. Huret, American Tax Resisters

2014

À l’occasion d’un dîner privé organisé pour financer sa campagne présidentielle de 2012, le candidat du Parti républicain, Mitt Romney, prononça un discours, enregistré à son insu, au cours duquel il expliquait candidement à son auditoire que « 47 % des gens voteront pour le président [Obama] quoi qu’il arrive. Ces 47 % qui le soutiennent sont des assistés. Ils se voient comme des victimes, ils pensent que le gouvernement est responsable de leur bien-être […] Ce sont des gens qui ne sont pas ...

Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance.

2010

Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance, titre d’une photographie qu’August Sander prit en 1914, hante le roman éponyme de Richard Powers. Cette photographie faisait partie d’un projet plus vaste, intitulé « Hommes du vingtième siècle » par Sander qui entendait dresser un inventaire des habitants de sa province natale, le Westerwald. Sander composa ainsi un catalogue de plus de 600 photos d’Allemands de tous types, dont il fit plus tard paraître une partie sous le nom de Visage de notre temps. Dans le roman de Richard Powers, le motif de la série se déploie entre les pôles incarnés par Henry Ford et August Sander, dont les séries de voitures et de photographies deviennent la métaphore du mode…
