Starting from a collection of plaster casts representing Inuit living north-west of Hudson Bay (which was made by Comer at Boas' request and was recently rediscovered in the attic of the American Museum of Natural History) the author raises questions concerning Boas' ethnography of the Inuit, particularly of those groups he could not reach while he was on Baffin Land in 1883-84. What did he intend to do in the American Arctic ? Why didn't he go back ? Why his pioneering ethnography remained incomplete ? As we celebrate the centennial of Boas' historic expedition, it appears timely to address these questions about the man who organized the anthropological discipline in the U.S.A. À partir d'une collection de masques de plâtre, moulés sur des Inuit vivant au nord-ouest de la baie d'Hudson par le capitaine Comer à la demande de Franz Boas - collection récemment retrouvée dans les greniers de l'American Museum of Natural History - on s'interroge sur l'ethnographie de Boas à propos des Inuit et en particulier de ces groupes chez qui il tenta sans succès de se rendre lors de son expédition à l'île de Baffin en 1883-1884. Que venait-il faire dans l'Arctique américain ? Pourquoi ne retourna-t-il jamais chez les Inuit ? Pourquoi son ethnographie des Inuit toute pionnière qu'elle fut resta-t-elle inachevée ? Autant de questions que la célébration du centenaire de cette expédition historique permet de poser à propos de celui qui organisa la Discipline anthropologique aux États-Unis.

In later life the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, the Norwegian explorer and scientist Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) led the team that in 1888 made the first successful crossing of Greenland's interior. Finding themselves cut off from the rest of the world for the winter, Nansen and his men spent several months living among the Greenlandic Inuit. Although 'far too short a time in which to attain a thorough knowledge', it was nevertheless sufficient to form a strong acquaintance and affection. First published in 1893, this English translation of the 1891 Norwegian original offers a valuable insight into much that was, and remains, foreign and peculiar to European experience. The coverage ranges from culinary to linguistic observations, and Nansen is by turns repulsed, fascinated and full of compassion, asking what the future holds for a people 'already stung with the venom of our civilisation'.
