Phantasmagorias of the Post-Colonial Interiors

Résumé

Benjamin has stated in his Arcades Project, under “Louis P…, or the Interior”, that “[t]he irreal center makes its place in the home” (Benjamin, W. The Arc. P. 1999, 9). For much of the bourgeois homes of today, the vestiges [Spurren] of an exoticism gave the private man the atmosphere of “a box [Kasten] in the theatre of the world” (ibid.). Later, the Jugendstijl made of homes an illusory, stylish setting and the interior into a Wunderkammer. This paper focuses on such a lineage, from ornaments to souvenirs, from arty to do-ityourself, which now, in ex-colonialist nations, bring a collection of naturalistic-memories and ethno-nostalgia, mingled with a high-tech ultra-modern air, within a sense of hybrid visions of tribalscapes. Nonetheless, they engage in a visible/ invisible complex.
