TY - CHAP TI - A quoi sert un musée de l’Homme ? Vies et destins d’une utopie AU - De L’Estoile, Benoît T2 - Le Musée de l’Homme, histoire d’un musée laboratoire AB - The Quai Branly Museum is devoted to “the non-Western arts and cultures .” The very definition of the museum is laid down in contrast to a point of reference that is characterized as Western, and contemporary. This museum is thus a classic museum of the Other – at the same time similar to and different from previous museums of the Other, in particular the Musée de l’Homme. Because it emphasizes the aesthetic dimension above others, the Musée du Quai Branly epitomizes the end of the anthropologists’ monopoly on interpretation regarding objects and artifacts that belong to the Other. It also illustrates some paradoxical ways France deals with her colonial past. ER - End of Reference CY - Paris DA - 2015/// PY - 2015 ET - Artlys/Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle ER -
