Skin marks us in the world
Skin marks us in the world

Invented Skins

You never know how many skins you have had by having a single skin. However, this skin has an inseparable memory of the future. Its vital movement depends on this dynamic that inserts it in a specific present. Thus, if skin makes us human, it is also a set of points that mark different ways of feeling.

A for Anomie

The idea that terrorism and other forms of political violence are directly related to strains caused by strongly held grievances has been one of the most common explanations to date and can be traced to a diverse set of theoretical concepts including relative deprivation, social disorganization, breakdown, tension, and anomie. Merton (1938) identifies anomie as a cultural condition of frustration, in which values regarding goals and how to achieve them conflict with limitations on the means of achievement.

Une Suisse exotique ?

Pourquoi un objet, un vêtement, voire une personne, sont-ils perçus comme « exotiques » ? Plus largement, comment se construit le regard sur les choses ou les gens qui nous semblent appartenir à d’autres régions, d’autres continents ? Enfin, comment les objets « exotiques » conservés dans les musées sont-ils parvenus jusqu’à nous, et dans quelle mesure ont-ils conservé, voire accru, à travers le temps leur dimension exotique ? Ce livre, et l’exposition qui s’y rattache, proposent une perspective historique pour comprendre l’émergence de ce regard et...
