Sommario/riassunto |

Fondé en 1635, le Jardin des plantes a acquis, sous la direction de Buffon, une grande réputation. Contrairement à d’autres institutions monarchiques, il a non seulement survécu à la Révolution mais il y devint l’un des plus grands établissements scientifiques publics : le Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, aujourd’hui encore en pleine activité. L’ouvrage retrace les stratégies scientifiques, administratives et politiques à l’origine de cette transformation dans laquelle l’agriculture et l’élevage aussi bien que la classification et les collections occupaient une grande place. Ceci montre l’importance qu’accordaient à l’histoire naturelle les dirigeants politiques de la France d’alors. Emma C. Spary démontre dans cet ouvrage que la permanence de l’institution tout autant que sa transformation, le maintien de son emprise spatiale aussi bien que son accroissement, la conservation des spécimens comme leur entrée dans les collections, résultent de l’action constante de ses acteurs. On voit comment ceux-ci, après avoir inséré leurs activités dans le système de relations hiérarchiques de l’Ancien Régime finissant, ont négocié ensuite une transformation des rapports - entre eux et avec l’extérieur -, en même temps qu’ils ont mis en |

scène une présentation de l’ordre de la Nature accordée à l’“utopie” républicaine d'une régénération naturelle et sociale. Mais le succès du Muséum apparaît aussi comme une conséquence de la rhétorique révolutionnaire utilisée par son personnel scientifique : celui-ci a pu suggérer que l’institution, en donnant le spectacle de l’ordre naturel, pouvait aider à forger un peuple républicain éduqué et policé. L’histoire naturelle se présentait ainsi comme une source indispensable de prospérité nationale et de vertu individuelle. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This special issue focuses on literary texts by African writers in which the protagonist returns to his/her "original" or ancestral "home" in Africa from other parts of the world. Ideas of return - intentional and actual - have been a consistent feature of the literature of Africa and the African diaspora: from Equiano's autobiography in 1789 to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 2013 novel <I>Americanah</I>. African literature has represented returnees in a range of locations and dislocations including having a sense of belonging, being alienated in a country they can no longer recognize, or experiencing a multiple sense of place. Contributors, writing on literature from the 1970s to the present, examine the extent to which the original place can be reclaimed with or without renegotiations of "home".<BR><BR> GUEST EDITORS: HELEN COUSINS, Reader in Postcolonial Literature at Newman University, Birmingham, UK; PAULINE DODGSON-KATIYO, Head of English at Newman University, Birmingham, UK.<BR><BR> Series Editor: Ernest Emenyonu is Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Michigan-Flint, USA.<BR><BR> Reviews Editor: Obi Nwakanma<BR><BR> |
