Sommario/riassunto

"The relevance of painting has been questioned many times over the last century, by the arrival of photography, installation art and digital technologies. But rather than accept the death of painting, Mark Titmarsh traces a paradoxical interface between this art form and its opposing forces to define a new practice known as 'expanded painting' giving the term historical context, theoretical structure and an important place in contemporary practice. As the formal boundaries tumble, the being of painting expands to become a kind of total art incorporating all other media including sculpture, video and performance. Painting is considered from three different perspectives: ethnology, art theory and ontology. From an ethnological point of view, painting is one of any number of activities that takes place within a culture. In art theory terms, painting is understood to produce objects of interest for humanities disciplines. Yet painting as a medium often



challenge both its object and image status, 'expanding' and creating hybrid works between painting, objects, screen media and text. Ontologically, painting is understood as an object of aesthetic discourse that in turn reflects historical states of being. Thus, Expanded Painting delivers a new kind of saying, a post-aesthetic discourse that is attuned to an uncanny tension between the presence and absence of painting."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Sommario/riassunto

Au Burkina Faso, comme dans la plupart des pays africains, la question foncière occupe une position centrale dans la construction politique et le développement économique. Pour les gouvernements, la résilience des systèmes coutumiers, euphémisée dans les discours mais bien réelle dans les pratiques, représente un obstacle majeur à la constitution d'une citoyenneté formelle. Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur présente le régime foncier actuel des Winye du Burkina Faso et l'analyse comme un ensemble de choix moraux inhérents à toute organisation



sociale : mise en valeur des ressources ou conservation de réserves patrimoniales, accroissement politique par accueil d'étrangers ou préservation des prérogatives autochtones, stimulation des intérêts individuels ou respect de l'intérêt collectif. Ainsi, c'est au travers des formes sociales d'accès à la nature que se met en place un ordre politique, une citoyenneté locale : le gouvernement de la nature fonde le gouvernement des hommes. En élargissant la recherche anthropologique et en menant celle-ci en référence à d'autres études réalisées dans la sous-région, l'ouvrage propose une approche critique du traitement des questions foncières dans la recherche africaniste. Il remet en question l'idée d'une évolution inéluctable vers l'individualisation et la marchandisation de la terre et, d'une manière plus générale, apporte des éléments de réflexion au débat sur la construction de l'Etat en Afrique.
