Abstract

This model monograph is the first scholarly study to put the Ainu--the native people living in Ezo, the northernmost island of the Japanese archipelago--at the center of an exploration of Japanese expansion during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the height of the Tokugawa shogunal era. Inspired by "new Western" historians of the United States, Walker positions Ezo not as Japan's northern "frontier" but as a borderland or middle ground. By framing his study between the cultural and ecological worlds of the Ainu before and after two centuries of sustained contact with the Japanese, the author demonstrates with great clarity just how far the Ainu were incorporated into the Japanese political economy and just how much their ceremonial and material life--not to mention disease ecology, medical culture, and their physical environment--had been infiltrated by Japanese cultural artifacts, practices, and epidemiology by the early nineteenth century. Walker takes a fresh and original approach. Rather than presenting a mere juxtaposition of oppression and resistance, he offers a subtle analysis of how material and ecological changes induced by trade with Japan set in motion a reorientation of the whole northern culture and landscape. Using new and little-known material from archives as well as Ainu oral traditions and archaeology, Walker poses an exciting new set of questions and issues that have yet to be approached in so innovative and thorough a fashion.

Abstract

Une génération après que la Révolution eut supprimé les privilèges aristocratiques, une nouvelle élite apparut dans la société française : les " artistes ", dont le prestige était devenu tel qu'il leur permettait de s'égaler aux plus grands, malgré l'absence de naissance, de fortune, de pouvoir. En même temps s'imposait l'idée qu'ils formaient une seule catégorie mêlant, tous genres confondus, écrivains, peintres, sculpteurs, musiciens. Et l'identité collective (le cette catégorie inédite se définissait, avec la " bohème " , par l'excentricité du hors normes une élite en marge, donc. Cette situation paradoxale s'explique en partie par le statut institutionnel, économique, démographique, juridique, sémantique des activités artistiques, que reconstitue minutieusement Nathalie Heinich. Mais elle tient aussi à des facteurs de plus longue durée : les valeurs de sens commun, que révèle l'exploration des romans, des témoignages, des journaux, des correspondances. Car on ne comprendrait pas que cet étrange phénomène ait pu perdurer, s'imposant aujourd'hui plus que jamais, sans prendre en compte ces valeurs fondamentales que sont l'aspiration à l'égalité et la reconnaissance de l'excellence, la préséance du mérite et le droit au privilège. La singularité artiste offrirait-elle à notre société contemporaine, écartelée entre aristocratisme, égalitarisme et méritocratie, une solution de compromis à un élitisme acceptable par la démocratie ?
