Rapports de pouvoir
Tsantsa, la revue de la Société Suisse d'Ethnologie, consacrera le dossier de son numéro 13-2008 à la thématique "Rapports de pouvoir". Qu’entend-on aujourd’hui par "rapport de pouvoir"? Que peut dire l’anthropologie sur un tel sujet? Comment thématiser cette question en s’efforçant d’en montrer la dynamique et non uniquement les effets? Qu’ont apporté les mouvements sociaux (féminismes, droits civiques, droits sexuels, etc.) et des courants, tels que les cultural studies, les études postcoloniales, ou les études genre, par exemple, à l’anthropologie?

Projecting the Nation: European States in the 1920s and 1930s

SANDRINE BERTAUX,

Istanbul, 2006
ISBN 9944-5518-1-3

At a time when the boundaries of Europe and the future of European modernity are contested once again in the face of Turkey’s candidacy to the European Union, the publication Projecting the Nation offers a critical reflection on the recent past of Europe. Focusing on the multiple and competing modernities of the 1920s and 1930s, a period which also saw the dawn of Turkish modernity, the exhibition explores how nations were invented and shaped by state power.

In the age of mass politics, visual political culture – itself a product of modern technology – took on a fundamental role in creating and molding mass consensus. For European states, in this era of competing ideologies and exacerbated nationalism, self-exhibition was no longer restricted to a message of authority and legitimacy targeting the cultural elite. It now became a crucial and novel element of statecraft, a cultural offensive grounded in propaganda, and a source of self-legitimation for political power. In all circumstances, the ultimate stake was control over mass culture.

Highlighting strong instances of self-exhibition in the Soviet Union, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Kemalist Turkey, interwar France and conflict-torn Spain, Projecting the Nation presents a cross-territorial examination of the similarities, differences and borrowings of forms of modernity unbound.

From December 20, 2006, through March 20, 2007, the Ottoman Bank Museum is hosting the exhibition, PROJECTING THE NATION: European States in the 1920s and 1930s, curator Sandrine Bertaux. It focuses on some of the European states on the route of the cruiser Karadeniz as it traveled from Istanbul to Leningrad, and offers an overview of the dominant political regimes in the 1920s and 30s, a period which also saw the dawn of Turkish modernity.

At a time when the boundaries and the future of the European Union are contested yet again, Projecting the Nation offers a voyage toward the recent past of Europe. An international endeavor, the exhibition displays visual materials from close to thirty institutions and private collections in Russia, France, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, the United States, and Turkey. In addition to a short introductory film relaying the historical context of the period, the display features video footage from 10 documentary films and over 120 photographs.

The exhibition can be viewed every day from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
