Conference “Aturar la reiteració, alterar l’explotació contínua”, by Michaëla Danjé / Cases Rebelles, at the KBr

26 26Europe/Madrid April 26Europe/Madrid 2022 - 19:00 - 20:00

In September 2018, when the publication of the book Sexe, race et colonies was announced to the sound of drums and cymbals, proclaiming an unprecedented iconographic profusion of 1,200 images concentrated in a luxurious coffee table book-type edition, the irruption of the text «Les corps épuisés du spectacle colonial ”[The exhausted bodies of the colonial spectacle] interrupted such vehemence and marked the beginning of an indispensable debate on the (re) mass circulation of photographs of colonial pornography under the pretext of historical research. Critically and ethically warning of spectacular methods in the field of historiography, our text questioned the reproduction of the original violent gesture inherent in the photographic device. In the face of the realpolitiks of consummated facts and the scientific, artistic, etc. pretexts that perpetuate the expropriation (of bodies, of rights), we demanded systems of restitution, reparation, restoration of privacy and retroactive creation of a legal framework that protects the victims of the colonization of a continuous exploitation.
