Résumé
B. Jewsiewicki — Primitivism, Postcolonialism, Negro Antiques and the National Issue. Drawing on récent studies dealing with primitivism in art, the intellectual history of Africa and the social history of Western historiography of ancient Greece, this paper explores the relationships between nationalism and colonialism as well as those between modernism and primitivism. The author argues that the invention of 'primitivism' in art constitutes an important élément in the définition of the West as 'modem'. He goes on to suggest that colonialism represents the core component of the Western construction of modem nationalism. The paper also discusses the possible relationship between postmodernism and postcolonialim and the nascent interest in non-Western popular arts.
