    Influence practices in XXth and XXIst Centuries

    The field of influence activities is increasingly proliferating (advertising, propaganda, marketing, public relations, communication, soft power, social psychology, fake news, applied algorithmic, etc.). It is important to grasp not only their scope, but their extension, their dynamics, their practices, their logic, their techniques. Where and on whom do they work? What are their histories? Who are their practitioners? What are their pioneer fronts? Why is it important to consider them just as much each in their specificity, and together? What is the contribution of influence practices to the production of value (economic and political)? From the point of view of the present and from the one of long duration history, is not influence government (a form of governmentality) a major dimension of the deep neoliberal turn the world is experiencing nowadays?

    Franz Boas, the work of the gaze

    Colloque organisé par Michel Espagne et Isabelle Kalinowski (CNRS, Equipe « Transferts culturels », École normale supérieure, Paris). En collaboration avec le département de la recherche et de l’enseignement du musée du quai Branly. Le colloque « Franz Boas, le travail du regard » aura pour but d’interroger les images, au sens le plus large, que Boas a construit des Indiens d’Amérique du Nord : images constituées à partir d’une pratique du terrain et d’une intimité avec des indigènes, comme son informateur et ami George Hunt ; photographies, dessins, représentations géographiques ; images du mythe et de la mémoire, consignées dans des recueils de légendes et des installations muséographiques ; enfin, images rituelles de l’art, masques, totems et autres objets qu’il contribua à faire découvrir, aux États-Unis et dans des collections privées et publiques européennes.
